I am the original owner of this shirt. I lost weight and dropped from a Large to Medium. I have a huge collection of Ralph Lauren items in Large that I will be posting over time, as well as a large number of Medium items that were meant as replacement items but didn't work out for whatever reason. The shirt is a very soft cotton twill (a little heavier than poplin but lighter than oxford cloth). Very comfy. My shirts are cleaned at an organic cleaner. I do not wash and heat dry them. The colors are still original (or very close) and are best reflected in the main/pic #1 on my screen. YMMV. It will need a pressing when it gets to you. The pony is blue. I have a busy law practice so please forgive any delays in responding to questions or shipping items out.
