Someone really loved this shirt so we hope you will too. It doesn't have any damage or tears or stains, it was just worn a lot and I assume washed a lot too. I don't have a brand new one to compare color to but I expect it has faded a little. A little darker than the photos came out though. Any information on the neck tag is washed out but it is at least an XL and maybe an XXL. It measures 46" to 48" for the chest (at the sleeve seams) so I think it is safe for you if you wear a 46, and probably still OK if you wear 48 maybe just a little snug in that instance. I believe this garment to be possibly twenty-five to thirty years old but apparently it has been put away for a good while. Remember clothing is like Vegas; what goes into the attic, stays in the attic. It looks to me like this brand is in demand, and we are not asking much. It is stylish, I like it myself, and I did not see another just like it available.
