Love this shirt!
United StatesVery pleased - Just as I remembered!
I’m very pleased with the shirt I ordered. When I was a kid, my grandmother and I traveled to France quite a bit (she was born there) to handle family business and tour the country. I clearly remember one of my favorite striped shirts she bought me over there (I live in the USA) near the Atlantic coast. I had it and wore it for a long time. Now over 30 years later, I am so thrilled have found the same company online, as I’m currently planning my first trip back to France since I was a kid - and since Grandma passed away a little over a year ago. Very nostalgic for me. The quality is as expected and I hope to have it and wear it for as long, or longer, than my original!
United StatesJust as expected
Nice weight and fit.
