We live in an area that is hot and humid for most of the year, so it's perfect because -- they're cooler than shirts made from fabrics like cotton piqué. -- they don't sweat-stain like cotton. -- they keep their color without fading. -- they don't wrinkle when dried (although they do need to be folded). wear. The color is gorgeous (okay, it might not be exactly how my wife would describe it, but trust me, it's gorgeous). It is very practical and the price is surprisingly low.
