I'm not as happy with this one even though I do like fabrics and the colours.
The fabric in the main shirt, though a lovely peached finish, is heavier and stiffer. Combine that with my addition of larger lined front pockets and the shirt tends to stand away from the body in a less flattering way.
Ah well, it's super comfy and a nice chill chaser. We're finally getting some cooler weather and some much needed rain.
My own innovations to this version were a change to the front pockets and covering the front placket with fabric from one of the contrasting shirts. I also removed the collar, leaving only the collar stand, and covered it with fabric from both accent shirts, different on the inside than it is on the outside.

I love banded collars made by removing the collar from the stand. For a couple of years they were "stylish" and easy to find. Now I just pull off frayed collars and re-finish the edge. Ta da!
