The fit is short and wide, exactly how they were made in the 50’s and 60’s. It fits true to size. I ordered a medium and my husband wears a medium in tops.

Love the shirt. Couple things to note before you buy:

Definitely size up. I’m 5’7” 160lbs, and bought a L and it fit well.

It’s pretty thick, so if you’re looking for something light and breezy, this might not be it.

Obviously meant to be worn open (since it’s marketed as swimwear) but still good to note that the buttons don’t go all the way up the shirt.

If you’re cool with all that, it’s great.

Love!!!!

Absolutely adore this knit shirt / short sleeved cardigan! The fabric is thick, the knit is tight, and it's extremely well-made. I was unsure about sizing, but I followed the measurements in the sizing guide, and ordered in XL instead of the usual L that I wear in most brands. Turns out it was correct -- this item runs a bit snug, so I'm glad I went with the XL. For reference, I'm 6'2", 35 waist, 44 chest, and the XL is definitely the right size.

Love your shirt so I bought it for my husband. I ordered a size up because I wanted it to be a little roomier on him since we live further to the south, but it is a very thick knit. And what I love about Hammies, is they never failed to produce a very quality product that if taken care of properly will last many many years.

Shirt looks great…but must be some kind of slim fit cut.. or everyone was thinner back in the day when this style came out!! Wish there was a bigger size!! But still a cool shirt

Didn’t realize it was a towel shirt but still love it

Love the look. It fits nicely and styled well with the red swim suit... will purchase again with this company

really pretty shirt and I love the piping. fabric is pretty stiff almost canvas-y in texture, so feels durable and retro but something to keep in mind.
