Single Pocket

I travel overseas often. I own two of the long sleeve single-pockets shirts. They are what I wear when I fly both for business and pleasure.

The reason I like them is because they are very comfortable. And they keep me warm enough or cool enough on board. I can roll up or the sleeves as I need. Some times my travel is multiple flights, and it takes 22+ hours to the other side of the planet. But the shirt still looks great when I arrive.

What I like is that when I arrive, I don't look like a dirty hippy or backpacker. I look like I just slept comfortably in first class on the flight. I think that gets you a little better treatment and service from immigration, customs, and the hotel staff.

Plus you don't look like a tourist who just left America for the first time in their lives.

They also work great on business trips because I can wear them for engagements at client sites. I sometimes spend very long days working with clients. The shirt holds up. I still look professional, even though I'm exausted. And if the client wants me to join them for drinks or a late dinner at pub, no worries. I'm good to go.

My advice. If you are serious about your business and your travel. Then put a couple of these in your inventory. You won't regret it.

This shirt performed flawlessly in 100+ degree summer heat in Japan. Not only that, but it looks great. Fit is perfect, sleeves just right, collar is on point. If you're on the fence and wondering if these are worth it... they definitely are. Hands down the nicest travel shirt I've ever owned.

Pocket is really big. But quality is there. Good feel and colour. Make sure to check measurements.

I tried a few merino wool shirts & this is by far my favorite. It is slim enough to look modern (I got the modern large, I am 5ft 11), I like that I can wear it tucked or untucked, I didn't smell (I had a merino wool undershirt), and it is pretty easy to wash / clean.

When I ironed it, it took pretty well & stayed looking sharp even when packed for flights, etc. about as well as the best "no iron" shirts I have.

It still gets wrinkles after washing it, so it needs to be ironed, but it isn't that bad. If I didn't iron it for a work event, it wouldn't be too terrible.

I also have some fitted custom shirts & this looks about as sharp.

"unbound' has a pretty good dress shirt as a more casual version. But I like the Libertad MUCH MUCH.

I've gotten used to the fit of custom shirts that I stock up on every time I go to Thailand or Hong Kong. That was my only knock against all the Merino casual shirt offerings of the different brands. I'm 5'10" and would describe myself as in-shape/fit, but not bulky. Most shirts aren't made for men that work out. But, I ordered the M-Modern and was really pleased. Technically, I could have it altered, but this is probably the closest to my preferred fit as any shirt I've ever bought right out of the store.
