I am a woman who likes to wear men's work shirts when doing gardening and construction work. This shirt is super soft and lightweight, yet warm enough for a chilly winter day with a vest. I'm a medium/tall woman and I usually wear medium sized men's cotton clothes that I can wash in hot water on very dirty days, and medium sized men's clothes are usually very comfortable, especially around the hips to keep them warm during the winter months. I love this shirt!
