I have a few chamois over-shirts that I have worn over the years, but this one is special. The chamois fabric is delightfully soft and warm, and I love the richness of the color (wine). The ample cut is perfect to wear over even long-sleeve t-shirts and it is sufficiently cozy to wear on cool days in the Northeast. The only reason I’m not giving it five stars is that I’m not a huge fan of the cape yolk-style pockets. I nearly always carry a pair of reading glasses with me and I find that I’m always fussing with the flap to get them into the pocket. Admittedly, this won’t be a problem for most. Otherwise, I’m very happy with my purchase.

The best thing about it is the material. Thick, soft, Portuguese cotton. Excellent for layering but not oversized. A little more room than slim fit, but I would size up if I wanted it to fit more like a jacket. I may need another.

This shirt wasn't cheap, but it's worth every penny.
