I bought this one at Hamilton Dry Goods. It's super soft and comfy. I like the band neck and the cotton lace instead of leather. The sleeves aren't so puffy that I feel like Errol Flynn (or Cary Elwes, for that matter). Nice natural/oatmeal color and has good length.

I'm not one for the Gillie shirt look but I liked the look of the ones from Hamilton Dry Goods. that Turpin spoke about. I ordered one last Saturday, It arrived today. I really am pleased with the appearance and fit. If anyone else is in the market for this style of shirt I would recommend them. But keep in mind they are 100 % cotton.

Yes, but they are deliberately oversized a bit. I've washed my large twice now and It shrank a bit but not so's you'd notice and still feels great. $29 is a pretty good deal.
