I have worn silk weight Capilene
t-shirts since
Patagonia started making them.
The original was very well made with a self-trimmed neckline and set in sleeves. I used the white ones under suit
jackets, and they looked great.
This shirt has raglan sleeves, other fabric trim at the neck, and is quite long. The trim at the neck doesn't wear the same as the Capilene, and discolors. The raglan sleeves make it too sloppy - looking and the length makes it look like long
underwear...which I realize it is.
But I have loved these tees as top layers, because they looked good enough, until recently, to do so.
The fabric is still very nice, but I am disappointed in the cut and finish decisions by
Patagonia.
