ANGLER’S INSIGHT:

One day at work, I decided to photograph the AFTCO Women’s Mojeaux 1/4 Zip Performance Shirt and ended up wearing it around the office. From the moment I put it on, I felt incredibly comfortable and noticed how upscale and high-quality it looked. The shirt not only fit well but also had a luxurious feel, making it perfect for a professional setting.

I wore the shirt again for a morning fishing trip on Lake Neely Henry, and it was a game changer. As someone who is very sensory-sensitive, I often get stressed by clothing that isn’t soft or is too tight. However, this shirt, in a size medium, struck the perfect balance. It hugged my arms and torso just enough to feel supportive while still providing plenty of room. For reference, I usually prefer ordering T-shirts in a size Large or XL for that loose, free feel, so finding a fitted shirt that is also roomy was incredible.

The 1/4 zip feature adds to the shirt’s appeal, making me feel sporty and feminine at the same time. It’s also practical, allowing me to zip it up when the weather cools down. Beyond fishing, I can see AFTCO becoming a top choice for luxury sporting loungewear. The shirt’s versatility means I can wear it while running errands, exercising, working or even just lounging around the house.

What impresses me most about AFTCO clothing is its durability. The Mojeaux shirt withstands frequent washing without fading, unraveling threads or shrinking, making it a sustainable choice for my wardrobe. AFTCO has transformed from a brand I associated solely with fishing to a go-to for any activity, combining functionality, comfort and style seamlessly.

Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a weekend angler, the AFTCO Women’s Mojeaux 1/4 Zip Performance Shirt is an investment that offers the best in performance and comfort. It’s a piece of gear that truly fits into every aspect of my life, from the water to the office, and everywhere in between.
