This shirt is in excellent condition and wears so comfortably when those nights going out are hot and humid. The linen is breathable and so soft. It’s like wearing tissue paper on those nights. Once again I have lost some weight and now just sitting in closet. I take care of all my clothing smoke free home washed and hung dry with a warm iron. Yes, I have pre washed this shirt. The shirt looks shiny as starch has been added when I had it cleaned and ironed.
