So I got the Cali delivered last week and tried it on. My first impression was it’s pretty flimsy and not worth $43. I can see daylight through the fabric when I hold it up. It also looks like it’ll stretch out easily after a few washes. The V neck isn’t really deep and rides up my neck and covers my tie after 2 minutes of wearing it. I sent it back and exchanged it for the Maryland. I just received it and am much happier. It is only slightly thicker than the Cali and not super heavy like I thought. The V neck is deeper too.

The pen holder on the left arm is neat. I wish it had elbow pads and you have to fold the sleeves up to make cuffs. I chose Navy and it's really dark so I don’t think it matters what color you chose. I’m glad I ordered the next size up because it’s fits me nicely over my shirt & tie. My blazer is 42R and I got an XL.
