Stripped of its original Tiffany light fixtures, lamps, and stained-glass panels, a Lowry Hill mansion was returned to its original grandeur after an owner bought back many of these furnishings. A family in Winona has spent three decades slowly uncovering a landmark Victorian's hidden beauty. Minneapolis graphic designers have meticulously restored a Frank Lloyd Wright gem, even fabricating never-before-built cabinets, furniture, and rugs Wright originally designed for the home. In Lost Twin Cities and Once There Were Castles, Larry Millett retrieved Twin Cities architecture vanished in time, giving us a view into buildings and homes lost to demolition, accident, and neglect. In Minnesota's Own, he and photographer Matt Schmitt invite us into homes from across the state that have been lovingly preserved, saved so that they can remain jewels among the state's living architecture. From Duluth to Bemidji, Red Wing to the Twin Cities, Millett and Schmitt travel throughout Minnesota, highlighting homes designed by architects such as Edwin Lundie, Frank Lloyd Wright, and William Purcell and Geroge Elmslie and with sumptuous ornamentation by local craftspeople including interior decorator John Bradstreet and woodcarver Johannes Kirchmayer. Homes originally owned by Daytons, Hills, and Ramseys find themselves in new hands that have taken great care in their upkeep and preservation. Minnesota's Own welcomes readers into twenty-two of these homes through over two hundred color photographs and Millett's captivating stories of their construction, original owners, and restorations.Larry Millett is an architectural historian and award-winning writer whose books include Lost Twin Cities, AIA Guide to the Twin Cities, and Twin Cities Then and Now. St. Paul native Matt Schmitt has enjoyed a three-decade career in advertising, commercial, and architectural photography. Publication of this book was made possible by a generous grant from the Jeffris Family Foundation in Janesville, Wisconsin, which is dedicated to the preservation of the Midwest's architectural heritage for future generations.

Comfortable summer beach/ leisure shirt
Fit perfect, 5'10" 205. Athletic build.
It's true you need to hang this shirt out of the dryer or iron.
But its a super comfy shirt made out of good quality material so for the price now days for sure worth it, was actually excited about it. Good buy nice and light.

Surprisingly good quality and cut.
Considering that this brand tends to be a bit hit-or-miss (mostly hit) I was apprehensive about the fit and sizing. These fit so well that I bought other colours and have no issue with the sleeve length (often cheaper brands have very short sleeves) nor with the length of the body of the shirt.
They look great, the fabric quality is excellent, and the colours are compatible with a broad range of pants (you can't go past black pants, black jacket/blazer, and any colour of this underneath).

Nice feel
Special Size: Two Pack, Size: Medium, Color: A-wine Red/Dark Grey
I’m 5’8”, trim and athletic build. The sleeves are a tiny bit tight and would be unpleasant on a warmer than expected day, but for a cool day just fine. Nice fit. Feels pleasant to the touch.

Good fit, light weight, very comfortable
Special Size: Two Pack, Size: X-Large, Color: Black/Army Green
I've purchased several of these now and overall they seem like a decent buy for the price. They are very light weight and seem to retain their shape and avoid wrinkling when hung to dry after washing. Despite never seeing a clothes dryer however, the black variant still pilled up a bit after moderate use.
There seems to be some variation in sizing: all the black and olive colored ones seem pretty consistent but the gray run small and the blue just a bit large (all purchased in XL, me at 6'3 and 225#)

Great with a great price
Special Size: Two Pack, Size: X-Large, Color: A-blue/Army Green
First off. I am female 5’10”. I thought the extra large fit great. The material is very soft and light. I think they’re warm though. I just washed them for the first time yesterday with dryer. Air dry. I’d like to see after a couple washes and know how the dryer affects it.
