The fit runs true to size for a relaxed silhouette, or size down for a closer fit.

Q&A

5 answered
How does the fit of this shirt compare to other Tommy Bahama shirts? Is it true to size or does it run large/small?
The shirt has a relaxed fit, typical of Tommy Bahama camp shirts — it's designed to feel loose and flowy, not slim. Based on our product info and customer listings, it runs true to size for a relaxed silhouette; if you prefer a closer fit, consider sizing down [1].
What are the recommended care instructions for this 100% silk shirt? Is it dry clean only or can it be hand washed?
This shirt is 100% silk and we recommend dry cleaning only [2]. Washing at home can cause shrinkage, fading, and texture changes, so dry cleaning is the safest choice to preserve the fabric's luxurious feel [3].
Is the silk fabric sheer or see-through when worn, especially in lighter colors?
In the Navy/Midnight Blue color, the silk jacquard fabric is opaque and not see-through when worn. For lighter colors, sheerness can vary by design, but this specific shirt's dark shade and textured weave prevent transparency.
Are the faux-wood buttons securely attached? Do they tend to pop off easily?
The faux-wood buttons are securely sewn and should not pop off easily under normal wear. Tommy Bahama uses quality construction throughout, but as with any button-down shirt, gentle handling and occasional inspection are always a good idea.
How true to the online photos is the actual color of the shirt? Is the print vibrant or more subdued in person?
The print is described as vibrant and colorful, with a navy background and bright floral accents [1][4]. The online photos are a good representation, though monitor settings may cause slight variations in shade. Overall, customers find the pattern striking and true to images.
