4.0 out of 5 stars
great shirt,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Columbia Men's Bonehead Long Sleeve Shirt (Apparel)
I have been searching for a new shirt style for several years. As a serious geek, I have worn BDUs (mostly black) for over 3 decades because of all the pockets, the solid construction, the comfort, and the constant availability. However, with the increasing shift toward militaristic fascism in America, I needed to distance myself from the specter of Nazi ghosts that seem to be trying to take over. Bad karma there.
After years of searching, I finally found a well designed shirt with big pockets from a reliable vendor - this one. I am very happy with it. It is made of a light weight material in only a couple of colors, but the pocket design is easily the best I have ever seen on a shirt. It is roomy, comfortable, and easy to move around in, too. There are two large (8 inches by 6 inches) pockets on the chest, with smaller pockets sewn over the bottom part of the outside of each big pocket. All but one of these 4 pockets have a cover flap with a velcro tab, and the other is an open top design with a velcro tab in the middle. The left side also has a pen pocket. There are various other tabs, loops and such, probably for holding fishing tackle. The long sleeved version also has a nifty button, tab and loop setup for holding the sleeves when rolled up (Swiss tabs, I think they're called). The large pocket on the left is big enough for a regular DVD case and other items the size of two checkbooks. The large right side pocket won't hold a DVD, as the flap stitching for the lower pocket restricts it just a hair too much. The pockets are wide and long, but not very deep (not a bellows style). I can still carry a lot of stuff comfortably and in relative safety in these pockets, however! The upper back has a mesh panel covered with a cape of the shirt material, stitched at the top, sides, and middle bottom, leaving large spaces open for ventilation. This cape catches easily on things and I tore one shirt very quickly that way. It loses one star for the light weight of the fabric (it is a hot weather shirt), and for the lack of color choice. They need more fabric and color choices, specifically a sturdy poly-cotton blend in rich, primary colors (IMHO). They also need some help with naming stuff, because "Bonehead" is a silly name for a shirt this good, even if it is a great fish name. Also, the color I like best is a very light blue they call "White Cap." That is silly and confusing - this shirt isn't white, and white caps aren't light blue. This shirt is the next best thing to a photographer's vest or bush jacket. I love it. I hope more people pay attention to the great pocket design. Pockets are so badly designed on most clothes. Also, Bealls has been great. I ordered two of these shirts on a Wednesday evening and got them by USPS on Saturday. Good job! UPDATE May 4, 2009: I was pleased to see that Columbia has added several great new colors, including my favorite, black. I immediately ordered more. Good job, Columbia! Thanks for the new choices.

Great shirt,

The Columbia fishing shirt is as good as can be bought. Cool in the summer sun and dries quickly when wet.
