Does anyone have this?  I'm trying to understand the material better.  It says 100% polyester but when rading Q&A it says it's "hefty."  Is it like an oxford shirt material or is it silky?

@ScrapHappy    I have 2 of this shirt.  Its a fairly lightweight silky fabric.  I would not call it hefty but its not thin and sleezy cheap thin either.  Very nice shirt.

I used to have one in the mocha color. It's a beautifully tailored and beautifully fitting shirt. I found it too hot to wear though because the polyester fabric is substantial and (like most woven polyester fabrics) doesn't really breathe. It's definitely not cheap looking though. If you live in an area that's not too hot and humid I'd go for it.

I have three of these. They are polyesters that are not heavy or very hot but they have body and they keep their shape. They are not a clingy fabric. The hand finish is somewhat smoother silky but the shirt, since it has body, it's more tailored.
