    “Really impressed with the quality; it wears and washes well over time. I went with the recommended medium size, and at 5'10" with a 40" chest and slim/average build, it fits like a dream (perfect length and room where needed). I'm about to use my loyalty rewards to order another one from Paul James, who never disappoints with their consistent excellence.”
