"I personally really love the option of wearing short sleeves or long sleeves and since you can't make sleeves appear wherever they are not, I prefer longer sleeves to roll up so this piece does it for me. Cut slightly more relaxed to be worn over shirts and tees and long sleeves you can roll up or keep down and all the splendor of an open collar, flap pocket shirt. Plus that faded plum color is to die for."---Kenshawn
