I lost weight and dropped from a Large to a Medium. I have a huge collection of Ralph Lauren items in Large that I will be posting over time, as well as a large number of Medium items that were meant as replacement items but didn't work out for whatever reason. This shirt was bought as a replacement item with something specific in mind and it didn't work out. The cotton is very lightweight and it will need a pressing when it gets to you. Pony is rose-pink. It is not what I would call red. I have a busy law practice so please forgive any delays in responding or shipping.
