I am the original owner of this shirt. I lost weight and dropped from a Large to Medium. I have a huge collection of Ralph Lauren items in Large that I will be posting over time, as well as a large number of Medium items that were meant as replacement items but didn't work out for whatever reason. The shirt is a very soft cotton twill (a little heavier than poplin but lighter than oxford cloth). Very comfy. My shirts are cleaned at an organic cleaner. I do not wash and heat dry them. The colors are still original (or very close). It will need a pressing when it gets to you. The RL color code is Atlantis Purple and the pony is the original pony coloring. On my screen, the stock photo best reflects the true purple color which is really handsome. Hate to let this one go. I have a busy law practice so please forgive any delays in responding to questions or shipping items out.
