It’s just so me, and my philosophy on fishing.
It fits decently and isn't the most comfortable shirt. But the design is very pleasant ☺️
I bought the shirt as a gift for my son who loves his tenkara rod.
Love the design
With a nice selection of rods that have purchased they give me a variety of waters that I can fish, accessibility providing.
PS. Great shirt !

PS. Great shirt !
The shirt graphic is wonderful, shirt size runs pretty large/long. I ordered a Large and the shirt comes down to almost mid-thigh! Nice shirt though.
Very good quality t-shirt. I had another Tenkara that was a large and the fit was on the small side. Got this one in a XL, and it’s on the large side.
I like my TenkaraUSA Line Drawing T-Shirt because it is well constructed of medium weight cotton, signals that I am a fishing person and invites questions about what type of fishing a pursue. Great shirt for a summer day in the Rockies.
One of the best shirts I’ve ever owned! Well made and extremely comfortable.
Love the prints on all the gear and clothing. The tee is light and super comfortable.
As soon as there is a new t-shirt, I buy it. All really beautiful with
unique and original designs
I would wear this shirt everyday but then the light blue one that I have would be so jealous. Great shirt printed on great fabric. I love wearing sustainable materials and organic cotton is were it's at. Big ups TUSA cause one fly us all you need.
Great fitting lightweight shirt. Walking aroung town, in a matter of an hour, I had numerous people come up an ask what kind of fly was on the back of the shirt...great way to get the word out too!
As already mentioned, the printing is of good quality. It seems like it will last a good long while. I've already gotten a couple comments on the shirt.Initial impressions when I opened the package and put it on;The color is a bit darker than in the picture on my screen (uncalibrated). I personally love the actual\\darker color of this shirt. Its a near blue winged olive color to my semi-colorblind eye.FitAt first, I felt the t-shirt ran a bit small from when I put it on, but after wearing it for a day or so, it loosened up and relaxed and now fits true to size as a casual fit" t-shirt. Not quite what I'd call a more generous "relaxed fit". So if you're looking for that, possibly order a size up.Length is good as well for you taller people out there.There's an additional tag on this shirt right on the seam above the back of my left shoulder. Its a little irritating, so I just cut it off. No big deal.I have a feeling I'll be wearing this t-shirt a lot :)"
I found the shirt very soft and comfortable, thought it was tight at first but after wearing it for a few hours seemed to stretch and form fit my body. Organic cotton fabric seemed like it should cost more. I'll look for this fabric on future shirt purchases. Good color for fishing stealthily too.
This is a very nice quality shirt. The printing is of good quality and will last a long time. I highly recommend the purchase of one if you like to fish in light clothing or just want to start a conversation about Tenkara.
