I got this shirt to wear around the beach, and it is great for that purpose. The shirt is lightweight, very breathable, and comfortable. I like linen fabric in general because it is very comfortable. I have several shirts and pants made of it. This particular shirt is listed as having a "loose fit," and I don't necessarily agree with that. It fits just as I would expect a regular shirt to fit in XL, the size I ordered. So if you want a truly "loose fit," you might want to order one size up. The material is also thinner than expected, and does not feel like it will stand up over the long haul, which is disappointing for the price.
