Is the Barbour Grassbeach shirt good for hot weather?

Yes. It is 100% cotton and breathable, with short sleeves and a light feel. It suits summer days and holidays better than a heavy long-sleeve shirt.

How does it fit compared with other Barbour shirts?

It is a regular casual cut rather than a slim fit. If you are between sizes or want a looser look over a tee, consider sizing up.

The care instructions allow tumble drying, but cotton plaid shirts can shrink with high heat. Use a low setting and remove it while slightly damp.

What is the pattern and color?

It is a large check plaid in white with contrasting lines. The check is bold enough to be the focus of an outfit, so pair it with plain trousers or shorts.

Does it have a pocket?

Yes, it has a single chest pocket and a full button front with a shirt collar.

Is it worth choosing over a plain short-sleeve shirt?

If you want a checked, country-style shirt for casual wear, yes. If you need stretch, quick-drying fabric or a very slim fit, a performance or cotton-blend shirt will suit you better.
