Customer Reviews Columbia Bahama™ S/S Shirt

This shirt is *very* baggy. I would order down at least one size, but I think it will still be a very loose fit.

The sizes run large and the material wrinkles so easily and you have to iron it.

I usually wear a small and the XS is roomy and very long. Columbia needs to work on its sizing - either too large or too small. Cool design.

I have an older Columbia fishing shirt that I love and I was hoping to replace it with a shinier new model. I ordered white to reflect sunlight - that's what the old one was. I had to send the new one back because the fabric was so thin it was practically see-through. When wet, I'm sure it would be!

Do not buy the Coral Glow unless you want a truly fluorescent color. Brighter than a safety vest!

This shirt is very good quality and workmanship and the colors are great. HOWEVER, I had to return it because the buttonholes are just too small. I don't have 45 minutes to button my shirt or perhaps the buttons are too thick but they are good substantial buttons. I had to work and work to button. I would also like about 2" shorter and perhaps straight across the front like the back, leaving the vent. I think there would still be plenty of fabric to tuck in if you wish.

I bought this shirt in large to replace a large eddyline shirt. This shirt runs really small, and I sent it back. Other than size, the shirt is fine. Wish we could still get eddyline shirts.

One would think that an XL would be the same in each similar Columbia shirt but that isn't the case. This one fit everywhere except across the shoulder blades and I couldn't even cross my arms. I have never had a shirt too small there but fit everywhere else so am sending it back. I also am disappointed with the lack of selection.

Not as expected. I guess the models on the website photos are carefully chosen and also the photo angle is. On the photo the shirt looks ideal but in reality ( when I tried the shirt) The shirt fit is awkward. Not necessarily that it runs small ( which Columbia clothing tends to do). It does not have enough length or not the right cut so that when you move your arms upward, the hem does NOT rise. It might fit someone else other than me. I might recommend it anyway if I knew someone wanted a shirt like this. I would tell that person to give it a try and return it if it is unsatisfactory.

The shirts are being made longer (which is not good for medium to short women) and they don't include the extra buttons anymore.

Much thicker than the other PFG shirts that I have and love.

The color shown on the website is a pretty soft yellow. The true color of the shirt that I received is an overly bright, intense yellow. I was trying to add to my collection of Columbia shirts which I love. They have snap closures, not buttons. The shirt with snaps is a more feminine version of the button one. The one I received, with the buttons, is boxy and too full. I am a true size Medium.

Bought a large bc the product guide said shirt ran big, when if fact I should have bought a size bigger

Read all reviews, stating shirt runs large, order a size down, which, is what I did. I ordered a Small, which is actually a Petite Small and would not even fit my 11 year old granddaughter. Sending back!

runs big, long and square

I wanted a loose, comfortable Columbia shirt to wear to the beach. After reading the reviews I chose a size large, which is my normal size in shirts. When the shirt arrived I put it on, and I suppose it was all right if I was looking for the attributes of "extremely form-fitting" or "beware of buttons flying off of my cleavage." I don't understand why women's clothing has to be so tight, especially clothing like this that's supposedly meant for outdoor active wear. I returned the women's shirt and ordered a men's and I hope it will be slouchy enough to breathe in. Anyway, bottom line is, if you're looking to model for a hiking catalog, this is probably a great shirt, and of course the actual construction is top notch. However, if you're looking for a shirt that will let you, I don't know, move your arms or something, go up a couple sizes or head over to the blessed unconstricted styles of the men's section.

was much larger than other shirts I have gotten

The quality is excellent - it was just too small for me. I need the next size which was not offered.

The shirt is great but larger than it should be on me. I was also very sad to see that I could have bought it $14 cheaper if I had driven to a store on the other side of town even before the cost of shipping.

The button placement on the chest of this shirt is horrible, you must wear a shirt under this shirt to prevent it from gaping open. Unfortunately we already had them embroidered with our company logo, so I cannot return. Do not purchase as a "cooling shirt" since you have to wear two shirts.

I purchased this shirt to eventually replace the 10 year old shirt I had. Unfortunately, after only a few hours of birding, the strap from my field bag was rubbing on the fabric and it "puckered" the material rendering this shirt useless. I am returning it and very disappointed in the quality of some of Columbia's products these days. The old items I have have far outlasted anything new I have purchased.

I really liked the material of this shirt. I generally wear a XL in tops. This particular shirt runs very large. Columbia shirts tend to run small for me. I purchased it in a 1X and then again in a XL. Both were huge.
