I am making a mockup today to test size M. I do wish that when the arms are down that the end of the elastic would look even instead of going "up" on the outside of the arm. I may cut my mockup at an angle. Also, TAL has a "hack" on their website to make the boatneck more round. Well, yours is lovely! Both of them!

One in a red and white striped searsucker and the other two in plaids. There as comfortable as a sweatshirt or pullover and I get tons of compliments when I wear them! The two buttons at the neck unfasten, and the neck opening is wide enough to get your head through. I’m such a same we don’t see shirts like this today.
