So, this is a very comfortable heavy flannel shirt. I would almost call it a light jacket. That is probably how I will use it here in So. Cal. The material is very soft and feels great. I like the pattern, it looks great.The one issue I had is that I got the khaki, and from the picture it appears the smaller lines are gray. In fact, they baby blue. not a color I would normally choose, but my fashion consultants (i.e. my wife and daughter) say it looks great. I will trust them.The XL fits like I would expect (I am 6' 0" 200 lbs. Athletic Dad Bod).
