Patagonia Fezzman Shirt - Short-Sleeve - Men's - 2009 BCS

Great shirt. Good for work. Good for play. Doesn't wrinkle. It will never look like a dish rag after washing. The mix of poly and cotton is just right for the not wrinkled but still comfy feel. The sleeves hit low on the bicep almost where the tendon attach the bicep to the elbow. Any shorter and you'd look sort of, well you know what I mean. Any longer and loose and it would look like Costco stuff.

I took a trip to DC and packed light and tight. These shirt came out of my really small roll suitcase looking nice and crisp. I wore them in the sticky heat while I walked around the memorials, and then out to dinner that night with a sweater pulled on over them. I dressed them up with khakis and down with jeans. Up with leather shoes and down with sneakers. Versatile shirts.

This is the best, low care, no iron, short sleeve shirt that Patagonia makes. I have several of Patagonia's organic cotton shirts and when they come out of the dryer I have a whole lotta' ironing to do. And the wrinkles never seem to disappear. They almost look like dish towels. Forget that!

The Fezzman is slim fit. That means the chest, and the waist are quite a bit tighter than the regular fit. I would go regular if you are big in the chest or waist. This shirt will fit too tight.

As my late mother once said: If your clothes are gonna' look good they HAVE TO FIT.

Perfect for slim, runner type folks. If you have that build, avoid regular fit, the chest and waist are really big.

Hope this helps.

One more thing. The loud checks and prints look really nice on the mannequins. Cool it! Go with the subtle stuff. It is easier to fit into any wardrobe.

Nice shirt, but the tag actually says "slim fit" so order up a size.
