Customers overwhelmingly praise the excellent fit, durable ripstop construction, and versatile styling for both tucked and untucked wear. Many highlight the reinforced pocket corners and robust stitching that promise long-term durability, with several purchasing multiple units in different colors. However, a notable concern centers on wrinkling—most who mention this issue report needing significant ironing time to achieve a polished appearance. Some also express frustration with limited color options, particularly in tall sizes. Despite these drawbacks, the majority consider it a worthwhile investment for quality and comfort.
Not the shirt you want to wear on a hot humid day.

Fabric does not breath well. It's 98 percent cotton but perhaps it's the 2 percent spandex added for stretch which makes it extremely uncomportable in humid weather.

Shirt holds wrinkles a bit more than others.

Overall, I like this shirt in terms of color (toffee) and fit. My only complaint is that the buttons seem to fit loosely. I am seeing a sewing project before or after I wear it

Nice shirt - wish it didn’t need an iron
Fit: True to size
Nice shirt. Wish it was easy care. Most shirts that are cotton can be pulled out of the dryer - shaken and be mostly wrinkle free - this one needs an iron.

Shirt fits well. Good quality construction. But why is there only one color for tall? It's hard enough trying to find shirts in tall sizes, made of natural fabrics, but do we need

Not as expected
Fit: A little large
Nice color but fabric is rough and ironing is mandatory. Way long. Similar shirt bought years ago is much better.
