Ok. First, real men wear pink. My husband originally loved this shirt and it looked great on him. I originally ordered the large but it was too big. Kept it anyway and ordered a medium. Medium fit much better. I find Columbia brand runs large. We loved the color and my husband has lots of Boneheads in different colors. However, after the first wash in cold water ( both shirts), I think the black and white loop string under pocket faded color onto the shirts and I was never able to get it out. After we received our order (at different times), I sent shirts to cleaners. No problem. When I washed at home (in cold water only) I believe the loop string bled into material. Both shirts! Ruined. I didn't have this problem with any other color so I'm not sure what the deal is. It WAS husband's favorite shirt. Now has two that can only be worn around house or fishing. Not what we bought them for. If you can only wear the shirt around the house I would rather save money and he can throw on a t-shirt. Won't be buying this color again. I recommend taking this shirt to the cleaners only. Perhaps we got a defective product but I find it hard to believe it happened to both shirts. And before you question my washing methods - wait! I'm a stickler for following label instructions: washing darks with darks; whites with whites. We love Columbia products. Just staying away from shirts that have the loop. Has to be the issue. Other than that, we'd have given this shirt five stars. Nope. It's a bonehead alright, and not in the good Columbia way.
