Aloha Ginny! 🌺 Thank you for sharing such detailed feedback about your shirt. We’re sorry to hear that, while you love the color and stripe, the feel and lack of stretch have made it uncomfortable to put on and take off. We’ve reached out to you by phone and left a voicemail, as well as sent you an email to follow up. We also wanted to mention that as you wash the garment, the cotton fibers tend to soften, allowing the fabric to become softer with washing. However, we are more than happy to address your concerns further. If there’s anything we can do to help, please feel free to reach back out to us. We’re happy to assist! 🤙🏼
