Ideal in terms of men's short sleeve shirts from Patagonia. Comfortable, does not appear to shrink in the wash (provided wash is cold and hang dried), and the Go To Shirt does not need to be ironed, which is critical. I have several for my workplace, which is a creative office where "work casual" is a shirt like this, and a pair of j... Read Moreeans. Typically works well too in the heat, provided temps aren't any higher than the low 80s. Typically each year Patagonia releases new patterns for this shirt, so I purchase them on sale :)
Not sure what is going on with Patagonia lately, but the fabric in their shirts/tees are not soft like they used to be. Maybe it is the amount recycled content? In any case, I had to return it as it felt rough against my skin.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review, Glenn! We are incredibly sorry to hear that this purchase led to a return due to the fabric and feel.

Comfy
What is not to love about Patagonia, love it, wish there were more in my size
Bring back 6 inch shorts for women, I miss buying new ones and the old ones are showing wear, but are still loved
I'm 6', 195# with an athletic build. I like shirts that are more modern fit. With Patagonia, I buy the regular fit in medium and the slim fit in large. This shirt worked out well in medium. It's still a little boxy but works fine. Its lightweight and works good for island travel.
Purchased this shirt in the store and it was a great fit, Not overly boxy in the shoulders nor too narrow. The length on the shirt is just right. Great pattern. Would buy a similar shirt with a different pattern.
Medium was the perfect size for everything but the chest. The buttons were popping open just standing still. I would suggest to anyone with an athletic upper body to find another cut.
Thank you for submitting this review, Michael. We're sorry the fit of this shirt was too slim in this case, but happy to see you've already gotten your shirt returned. Please let us know if we can be of any help in finding an alternative!

Stylish
Very happy with this shirt. It is cool and comes out fine out of the dryer (I take it out when it's still a little damp and hang it up). Comfortable and fits well (I am sometimes between a S and an M and the M fits fine).
Love the print and had always bought a size L with previous Patagonia shirt. This one was too tight and had to return it. Unfortunately there was no more XL available
I'm 6'1" and 215 lbs, and the medium fits me perfectly. The relaxed fit makes for a shirt that isn't baggy or skin tight. I get compliments on the shirt all the time.
I'm 5.10, 300lbs and the 3X fits perfectly. Great fit around the shoulders, not too tight or too loose around the stomach and the design and quality are on-point, as always for Patagonia. Truly, the compliments from my wife and friends keep coming at every occasion when I wear this out. Thanks Patagonia - give me one of each color!
Nice shirt, good quality, love it. I’m normally an xl so I’m glad I went for the xl instead of the xxl. I was expecting it to be a slim fit but the xl is large on and nice and loose.
I love how this shirt looks great and is very comfortable!
Nice shape and flattering cut to it! The fabric is more breathable and lightweight than you would expect too! handles hot weather like a champ!
Love this shirt!
For a bigger guy this shirt fits pretty well but is a little small in the arms for me. Not that big of a deal it does not cut off circulation and I can still move my arms freely. Overall I love the feel of this shirt.
A great travel piece; nice and light for hot summer weather. Washed out easily with very few wrinkles; the slightly fitted style in a large was just right.
Thank you for sharing this review, Thomas. Please know that if you've followed laundering instructions and the colors still fade, you are welcome to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) the shirt to us under our warranty.

To tight
Wish it was cut larger, mis the pantahola shirts you used to sell. Have worn them all out.. wish you still had them. Best to Yves. Lee Fleischman
Hi Lee! Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. We're sorry to hear about the disappointment with the fit. This shirt is a slim fit so it's designed to fit a little closer to the body. We appreciate this feedback and we'll share it with our design crew. Your satisfaction is always guaranteed so you're welcome to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html).

Soft comfortable lightweight
Got this shirt for my son who is in his 30s and very picky. He thinks these shirts are the best he has worn. He now has them in 4 different colors. They fit great, are comfortable and look
fashionable. Live in SC so the material is perfect.
I find the shirts really nice to wear when Im trying to look a tad more professional. They are a bit tight across the back for me, but so are most shirts. Run true to size for Patagonia clothing
This is not worth the money. The material is paper thin and feels like I put on a piece of tissue paper. The material is cheap and itchy and the cut is relatively uneven and completely lob sided. I understand Patagonia works on using cheaper recycled materials but this shirt was a total bummer and has made me debate finding a new brand for my butto... Read Moren up shirts this summer.

We're truly sorry to hear about your disappointment in our Men's Go To Shirt. We went ahead and reached out to you via email to offer some help with your return. We also passed your thoughts along to our Design Team. Thank you so much for your feedback.

Lightweight and comfortable
Im 65 240 and the large fits great even though Im normally an XL (even in flannels from Patagonia). Its not too short, and the slim fit isnt too tight. I had initially purchased the XL but it was very baggy and wide even though it is a slim fit. Its really lightweight and nice for warm weather. The shirt actually falls pretty nicely even though the... Read More weight is very light.
I bought this for my son in college. He's 6'7" and about 235 and very fit. I bought it because the Patagonia employee in the Park City store was wearing it, and he was very tall. His XL did not look too short, so I knew an XXL would work. The kid actually wears it, so I know he loves it ;-)
I now own eight of these! an absolute favorite. Since it is a cotton polyester blend, it is one of the most wrinkle free shirts Ive ever owned. One of my favorite travel shirts. They get softer, and softer over the years, he would almost swear this is 100% cotton.
I decided to go with a large, instead of medium. Probably fit a medium, but I wanted a looser fit. It was perfect. I also wanted something a little shorter in length, so my only suggestion is you create a shorter short (no tuck idea)
I wore this on Maui (Hawaii) which is pretty warm and humid. The lightweight and comfortable fabric is perfect for the tropics. I wanted a slim fit and trust me it is. If I don't gain weight, I can wear it for a long time into the future, but it will not forgive a gain of more than a pound or two.
This shirt fits amazing like all of Patagonia's medium sized shirts. Material is thin and breathable and feels so good on your skin. Color and design is breathtaking!
This is my third Go To Shirt and it has been my go to for weekend trips, a night out, work and travel. Easy to care for, looks great and is comfortable. This shirt rarely wrinkles and if it does a quick shake usually gets them out.
I purchased this, along with a different but similar button-up Pataloha shirt, for an upcoming trip to Hawaii. I really like this shirt and have been wearing it regularly in what's proven to be the hottest PNW summer ever. Great fit, looks great, even without ironing.

I bought this on something of an impulse after seeing it in an email from Patagonia featuring new shirts. I am not disappointed as this is a great looking shirt. I actually just wore it for the first time to a party a couple of days ago. Felt good wearing it and my wife, a tough critic, complimented me on how nice it looked. It appears to be made w...

Seems good to me. It would be and will be a "go to shirt" for many occasions.
Like the looks and feel of it. It's a little tight, small for me but not enough that it will deter me from wearing it. I look forward to long years of use.....provided I don't "grow" out of it.
Wanted to love this shirt. Loved the print and color. But cut was too trim. I'm 6-feet tall and weigh 170 lbs. I'm fit and can wear most trim clothing. This shirt was a smidge tight in the shoulder/upper back, but I could have lived with that. I didn't buy it for working out. But the long, narrow body cut of the shirt meant that it a...

In other words, it made it look like I have gut when in fact I do not. Never had that happen with any other shirt in my life. Stop chasing trends Patagonia (besides, tight shirts are already on the way out) and just make clothes with classic cuts that actually fit human bodies well.
Hello Aaron, we appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback on the fit. We are sorry that the shirt did not work out.

Styles such as the Men's Organic Cotton Slub Poplin Shirt in the Regular Fit typically offers more mobility in the cut versus the Slim Fit styles.

Can be improved
I love most everything I buy. This shirt does not have the soft feel of other shirts. I want to be comfortable. Make it better and charge more if necessary.
Hi there, we are sorry to hear that this shirt didn't have the feel you were hoping for. We appreciate your feedback on that. If you decide you don't want to hang onto this, please feel free to [send](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) it back to us.
Perfect summer shirt for hanging out and casual work environments. My first was a gift, this purchase is my fourth. Cannot recommend enough. The cut and length are spot on, the collar is perfect and even the second button is in just the right spot - not too stuffy but not too much chest hair.
Being a 35 year Patagonia loyal customer, it is getting increasingly more disappointing to have to cross my fingers that their clothing will fit well on the rare occasions that I find a pattern shirt or shorts that is appealing to my eyes.

I've been wearing Patagonia button down short sleeve shirts (mainly Puckerware and Fezzman) most days for probably 20 years and they've been great. However, Patagonia changed the cut of their shirts around 2019 and the new shirts are tight in the shoulders and upper back. They're fine if I stand with my arms by my side, but they bind...

I loved the shirt design and it was comfy, but sadly the fit was a bit off so I had to return.

It's a nice shirt, well-made, fits perfect, didn't bleed blue onto anything the first time I washed it (always a bonus), cool and comfy. Wife likes it.
Overall fit is fine, but I feel it is a little bit small across my shoulders. I was surprised to see the shirt was made in China and was a Cotton/ Poly blend. Still, I will be ordering more items from Patagonia in the future.
I got this in the Gypsum Green spring vegetable print. It's a really nice looking shirt in that print, definitely got a lot of compliments on it right away.

My sister always makes fun of me having my "ole trusties" when it comes to clothing and certain things I do wear a lot and get great use out of. I find the "go to" shirt one of my ole trusties.

90% of my casual shirts are Patagonia Go To, Im 64 and 190lbs. But Please produce better color selections, Ive been unable to literally bear your offerings for the last 2 years, soooo sad.
I usually dont review items but it is worth mentioning that I wear a medium everything in Patagonia...except go to button down shirts. In these I wear a large. The medium is too snug.
I always go XS for slim fit and S for regular fit on Patagonia. This one came like a regular fit. Wash it and put it in a dryer, shrunk a bit. Im wearing it to work right now, and get a compliment from my daughter last night while trying it out and wife's approved this morning
Shirt looked awesome from the website. Loved the pattern and color. When I received the shirt material felt like an old set of curtains. It was slim fit which I usually order a M from patagonia but this felt like a night gown. Not form fitting, material not good on the skin. Not a garment for me.
I love the pattern and material on this shirt- it looks and feels great. I'm usually somewhere between a medium and a small- sort of wish I had gone with M because this is indeed slim fitting. It's working though and I really dig the shirt! It's a great casual shirt, solid material but is very comfortable and still breathes really we... Read Morell
Love this shirt. Wear it for a weekend out or a casual/fun day at work. Fabric is great for the warm summer days in LA. I wear S in all "slim fit" and XS in all "regular fit" shirts from Patagonia, and this one follows that same pattern. Will definitely go back for more.
I cant get over how comfortable this button down is. Super lightweight and the fit for me is perfect. Slightly fitted but not at all restrictive.

Great shirt!
This is super comfy and gets softer every wash. Great light shirt for warm weather!
Shirt is made of comfortable, organic cotton and runs true to size. Beyond the fit, the true value of this shirt lies in the awesome alligator print! My go-to shirt for casual summer events.
The shirt was perfect in length but across the chest it was tight. I gave the shirt to my son (30 yrs young) and it fit him fine. I own a lot of your products, I don't buy them for the fit. I buy them for the design, innovate materials and most of all, its one of the few companies that puts my money where its mouth is.
As a bigger guy, the Go To Shirt does a great job, of fitting my arms, while still appearing fitted in the body of the shirt. They are super comfortable. I like the gentle curve on the bottom hem line. If you see a design you like a recommend getting one.

Ha! Sorry for the pun. Seriously, I have many go-to's; the M has fit me perfectly for years, I"m 5'11", 170. This retro pattern is nice too. Get a few, enjoy the summer!
Excellent shirt all-around. Great design, quality is top notch, fits as described and size-wise in general. Super happy with this shirt, especially knowing that Patagonia backs up everything they sell—for life. And knowing it comes from a company that actually cares makes it that much better.
Bought this for a trip to FL. It fits great, was perfect in the warmer weather, and I got a ton of compliments on the design. I'm 6'2 and 215 lbs and the L fit perfectly.
When they called this the Go To Shirt they weren't kidding! It's super light and breathable. This has become my go to for everything from the office to a casual ride after work or even date night.
Smaller than usual slim cut, otherwise a great shirt
Love everything else about the shirt, but it is definitely smaller than my other Patagonia slim-fit shirts. Recommend sizing up if you are at all uncertain.
I read many reviews citing the shirts run small so I sized up to a large. I usually wear a medium at an athletic 5'11" 185lb. Unfortunately I have found it's a normal cut perfectly true to size making it fit like a bag. The fabric is as expected. Not too thick/thin or soft/scratchy. It wrinkles quite easily.
Purchased this for my 14 year old son. He loves it. He is 5’8, 150 lbs and we went with the medium based on other reviews. The shirt is more of a tailored fit and he definitely would have gotten more use out of a large as it is already a little small side but he loved it to much to wait to for an exchange.
It is so hard to find these kind of shirts that are in a slim fit form. This shirt fits perfectly, is light weight, and comfortable. Plus the design is awesome!
I'm sorry to hear about the fit of your shirt. Feel free to start your return [here](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html#searchterm=return).

Great shirt!
Shirt has many nice features - easy care, feels great wearing it, and nice prints. Runs a little small, so unless you're a young guy with zero body fat, you might want one size larger than your normal size.
This is a great shirt. I’m 6’2 and ~ 150 lbs and d medium fits quite well - maybe a tiny bit loose around the middle for me.
The go to is pretty light and breathable without feeling flimsy at all. It reminds me of the nice Aloha shirts you’ll find in Hawaii.
I was concerned about the fit since the description specified "slim." I'm 175lbs and 5'10" and ordered two in the large size. Both shirts fit perfectly and I really like the fabric.
I've had several compliments. My friend's wife asked where I got it, because she wants her husband to look as good as me.
It fits as a slim.
A+, would buy again.
This is a great shirt for work and going out in town. A nice cotton button-up with great patterns. Fit is as described, comfortable, no complaints. Get these!
I own 4 of these shirts (1 from two seasons ago, 1 from last season, and 2 from the current season). They all fit perfectly and are what I come to expect from a "slim fit" shirt - not too loose and not too tight. I always reach for these when it's warm outside. They work well for casual occasions as well as work environments. No comp... Read Morelaints, but I do wish they had some solid colors.
I've been wearing a hand-full of these shirts for the last 10 years and loved them, to death.

Own 4 of these and love them - sizing can be wierd
Like the title says - I own 4 of these shirts from multiple seasons and love them. They have held up very well with rigorous use and washing. Most other brands would be coming apart at the seams given how much I wear these shirts but the Go-To has been up for anything. My personal usage is more casual with these but they will see a random day at th... Read Moree crag or on the MTB. My only complaint is that sizing hasn't been super consistent from season to season. In general they run slim / small - I'm about 5'7' 145lbs and small is good. However I always have to try before I buy because each season seems to fit a little different.
I will shop more often for your products. I will include Pataginia in my choice of clothing. Customer service was superb! Kudos to Max in Pasadena. I hope you open up a store in Rancho Cucamonga.
The "Go To Shirt " is exactly that! It always looks great,even when it's been stuffed in your backpack all day and your heading out for the evening. It quickly became my "Aloha Friday" work shirt.
This shirt has quickly become one of my favorite "go to" shirts. The fit is true to size. It has a very laid back beach vibe that goes well with any occaison. I am 6'2" and 205 pounds and the large fits perfectly. As do most size large,slim fit patagonia tops.
So comfortable,lightweight,breathable,and can be dressed up or down. Average build,5' 11" and the medium is perfect. I was originally going to buy two or three,but most of the shirts were out of stock. Going to check again,definitely want more colors on this one!
I'm 6'0,150lbs,so the slim fit size large is a perfect fit. This shirt is light and comfortable unbuttoned chilling at the beach or buttoned up at a nice dinner. Shirts that fit right are hard for me to find as the regular size mediums length feel a little short under the armpits and waist and a regular large fits like dress. This is my g...

Super happy with the Men's Go To Shirt. Having very broad shoulders and more slender torso,it can sometimes be difficult to find shirts that fit well in both upper body and waist. This shirt fits just perfect. The cut is spot on and the material has just the right amount of stretch.
This really is my go to shirt. It fits perfectly. I dig the patterns this year,but my old black one is now gray and I could use a new one. Please bring back some in black! I'll buy two more.
Outdoor/indoor summer fun. Bbq's, lawn games (or sand)---perfect for easygoing activities. Comfortable and cool on a hot afternoon. Many compliments from friends at a recent engagement party for my son.
