    100% hemp and 100% cotton will have a tendency to wrinkle with wear. The mixture of hemp and cotton seems to minimize that.
    I didn't notice a difference in the 2 sides of the shirt until you pointed it out, and then I had to look hard. What material is it? I would guess that with more washings the wrinkles would become more pronounced.

    I really like it. It is a bit understated, not over the top, not costumey, won't distract visually from the kilt, and that length is so practical.

    My wife and I were laughing a bit when I showed her the photos of the shirt...we got a catalog from the Duluth company (the one that makes work clothes) and they're featuring extra long t-shirts with the claim that they help prevent "plumber's crack".

    What a concept...I'm dealing with a bunch of guys who want jackets that are shorter than normal and shirts that are longer than normal!

    ps: real men iron.

    I like it, and I think French cuffs are a great idea.

    I have some of those shirts; they're very nice (turtle neck & t-shirt; they make several different shirts with that feature).
