I ordered it in a tall, mostly so the sleeves would be long enough (I have serious monkey arms) but I like the longer hem length and boyfriend (read: looser) fit. Sometimes I think button-downs can have a weird fit – too fitted or too loose but this one is a Goldilocks, just right. And it’s perfect for layering too since it’s not a heavy flannel.
