Tamiami II Long Sleeve Shirt - Men's

First, I am a woman. Second, I don't fish. Still, I adore these shirts! I bought one in Bright Blue in March and just bought another in a lighter blue (sail blue?) so I don't wear out the first one. Why, you may ask, do I love this men's fishing shirt since neither a man, nor do I fish? Here are some reasons:

1. Colors are really beautiful. You can't tell from the pictures how nice they look in person. The bright blue was more of a deep periwinkle and the lighter one is more subtle, as expected, and really nice. These aren't the boring, flat colors you see so often.

2. Comfortable material that drapes nicely and washes beautifully without using some special cycle or hanging dry. They come out fresh and unwrinkled wash after wash (I am NOT careful about washing clothes so this is great).

3. Fabulous material for hot weather. I bought the first one in anticipation of the terrible summer heat here in TX. I wanted something with sunscreen fabric that wasn't too tight (so I could wear it over other clothes all year round, while cycling or gardening) and this shirt was beyond my wildest hopes! The material is so lightweight and breathes so well that it is comfortable wearing outside even in 110 degree heat with the sleeves down to protect my arms from the sun. In spite of the fabric being so lightweight, it doesn't feel cheap or insubstantial. As a matter of fact, this shirt looks nicer than many expensive men's dress shirts I've seen and it is literally the most comfortable piece of clothing I own!

4. Pockets pockets, pockets!! It's impossible to find women's clothes with useful and plentiful pockets so I really appreciate this

Bahama Long Sleeve Shirt - Women's

Good sun protection and a comfortable fit for warm weather, too. This shirt is less fitted than some of Columbia's other shirts, and so much more practical for active outdoor summer activities and pursuits, than their more closely-fitting styles. If you are going to be gardening, sailing, or engaging in other activities where you'd prefer your movements to be less inhibited than when wearing clothing which is strictly designed from only a fashion perspective, this shirt would be an excellent choice.

Bonehead Classic Long Sleeve Shirt

I like these shirts a lot. Nice to wear in spring through winter in the south. Keep in mind the sizing can be a little off. In wear a large in most shirts yet a medium fits good in these. I have wide shoulders and these shirts fit nice and tailored in a medium yet doesn't feel like I will split the seams if I stretch.
