I have about 25 or so of these style Columbia shirts in both long and short sleeves. They are of the various models: Bahama, Tamiami, Blood and Guts, etc. Honestly, to me they all look and wear about the same, so I really don't look too closely at the name when I order. Just that they're Columbia, that they have two pockets, and that they have the UPF sun protection rating.So I was a little surprised when I received this shirt in the Fossil/Realtree Edge color and found the cloth material to be a bit rough to the touch. Like I said, I've bought a lot of these, including in this Bahama II style, just in different colors. So maybe this one was a fluke. Washing should help a little, but if you're looking to buy this particular model shirt I suggest you stay away from this particular color. All the other colors wear well and have the soft and light material feel that I like. Just not this one.
