I have worn this shirt once and it is currently in the wash, so I can't comment on how it survived the process; but it feels quality. It fits beautifully and it is a joy to wear. This is not a cheap shirt, it's a really good shirt. Can't recommend too highly.
Update:
After a year the shirt is still very black, no fade and still looks good. I made a mistake buying the small though, it's a bit tight on my throat. Should have bought the large and now I can't because they never have any stock. Come on chaps get some more in so I can buy more. Still a really good shirt and still recommended, but do not err on the small size, go for the next one up.
