Folk Printed Shirt

It's jam packed, you can't move for patterned shirts these days. I'm not complaining, since my days back at college there hasn't been many years gone by without a patterned shirt being somewhere in my wardrobe. The oldest one I remember (which I still have somewhere) was actually a turquoise patterned polo shirt. It was nicknamed the "roller coaster" top as it had a unusual zipped pocket placement, therefore your loose change would be ok if you went on a ride with a loop the loop.

For me this printed chambray printed shirt from Folk is one of the best out there. The block print shirt seems a bit garish at first but I think it has the potential to be quite wearable. The pattern is created by overlaying various shades of chambray cotton and also features a pebble shaped top pocket and extended back hem.

Each shirt is uniquely printed and patterns vary quire significantly, see the difference in these here and here compared to the one above. It's divide option though, at least three people I know have said they'd give it a wide birth, I am definitely in the yes camp. So is it a yes or no?
