My son and I decided he wanted to wear something unique for his 18th birthday. He had an indoor party and his theme was kites! The shirt is a hit! The thread is 100% cotton of good, durable quality and gives a slight sheen to black fabric. The shirt also has just enough "bounce" for freedom of movement, and the silver dragon (Japanese) has been screen printed well - no visible flaws. He feels slightly uplifted. The cuffs and collar are lined in glossy white, a bit like Chef Paul Hollywood's shirts, and have an extra button on the inside. side panel. Plan to buy more flowers. Made in China.
