This Lands' End linen shirt is nearly new and still has that soft, but slight stiffness that a new linen shirt brings to the table. This is one of my semi-annual attempts at wearing my favorite color, yellow, but just can't swing it quite yet. If I was good with wearing yellow, this would definitely be "summer shirt #1" and then I'd proceed to get barbecue sauce all over it within a couple of weeks, anyway. I like the collar type of this shirt.
