The cotton knit is very soft and because it's stretchy it moves with you quite nicely. The print is incredible probably one of my absolute favorites that I've gotten. Now why I only gave it four stars instead of five because it's a knit I don't like the way it pulls on the buttons even though it's oversized on me. It makes weird little gaps between that I don't experience with my woven shirts from the old style. I do hope they bring them back. The other reason and the most important reason why it's only getting four stars is the pockets are shallower I don't like them My phone cannot stay in them they need to make deeper pockets. For future orders this might be a break at issue for me because deep pockets are a necessity. So I'm going to have to consider very hard if I'm going to purchase again.
