Lone Saint James!
Terrific! I love the colors (black and brown) and the fabric!

Perfect Top!
I have six colors of this top. Some of them are nearly six years old and look brand new! The fit, and color fastness are exceptional even after many washes. It's a classic, highly versatile top that I reach for again and again!
