Itchy and Unflattering
Weight: 120-130 lbs
Height: 5'1"
Size Purchased: Medium
Used for: Casual or Every Day
The material is stiff and itchy as other reviewers have noted. The cut was unflattering. I had high hopes for this shirt but it was not fluid and comfortable like other UPF shirt

I have several of these shirts in different colors. The only downside are the permanent wrinkles that won’t wash out.

Just for LLBean's info - the button holes are too small, making the shirt very difficult to button.

I just received my shirt this evening and it is too big compared to the SP I ordered before, so I have to return it. Do I have to pay for cost to send it back?

The quality of this shirt is excellent. Great features and I love the lavender plaid. If you need to shield your skin from the sun’s rays like I do, great choice.

Wrong sizing
One of the nicest, sun protection shirts, I have seen; however I ordered a small and it was much too large. Regrettably I sent it back rather than order a second in extra small.

Not a good look

I liked the fabric and pattern but the back made me look so broad with that flap across the back. The sleeves were also 2” too long—-returned it.
