It is lighweight and flowy however does not provide much warmth especially for winter. There are limited sales as only 3 garments sit on the rack. The size tag displays, UK, US and AU sizes. Pockets are not there for practicality just for the style and would not look good with items placed in them, they drape from the main body of the shirt yet add a great addtional look to this simplistic shirt.
