I'm not really into shirts, but in the summer I like to wear them open over a t-shirt, so fit isn't that much of an issue, but length can be, and being fairly short (5ft 7in), I float somehow along it. I'm a little on the heavy side (understatement warning) so I rarely button them up, although this one fits when I do. a bit long and that the neck is quite big (I could probably go a bit smaller) because I don't mind looking like the aging hippie that I am and wearing clothes that are only approximate. nice shirt, nice fabric, kind of nerdy but attractive plaid that reminds me of the shirts I wore when I was younger when I was working in New York trying to look like I was there. day, and then when we go to a restaurant I can close it and put it in and look vaguely presentable. May, nice soft fabric, nice look - humor aside.
