Van Heusen Men's Wrinkle Free Long Sleeve Button Down Shirt, Slim Fit, Comfortable Stretch Fabric

nice shirt

I ordered a medium rather than my usual small due to the slim fit of this shirt. That turned out to be a great idea as the medium fits perfectly in length, chest, and waist. What doesn't fit well are the sleeves. They are so weirdly long. Almost like this shirt was specifically designed to roll the sleeves up rather than wear them buttoned. Otherwise I love the pattern and material. Van Heusen is known for quality shirts and this one delivers.

I've been a long time Van Heusen customer, and have loved some of their shirts. But I've found this brand is pretty hit-or-miss. I either really like a shirt, or I find that it's an odd cut/design and don't like wearing it all. And I've found that the inconsistency isn't tied to pricing. Some of the best I've owned were inexpensive, while the pricier ones (like this one) are sometimes let downs. In this case, I went with an XL which for me is a pretty safe size (sometimes large, depending on the fit). This one was a little too wide in the torso, but a good fit in arm length and overall length. But after one wash and dry cycle, the length had shortened too much, while the torso was still too wide. The result is a shirt that's very boxy shaped, and just doesn't look flattering on my body. I don't think this is an issue of the wrong size. If I'd sized down, I'd have a bigger problem with the overall length and then the sleeves would also be too short. Also, I felt like the amount of stretch on this shirt was less than I've come to expect for modern button-down shirts...but I can't hold that against the manufacture. That was just my own expectation. I think some guys will find that this is just the right fit, especially if you have a short torso, long arms, wider build, and like to wear your shirts untucked. It just wasn't a good shirt on me.

Great quality shirt and is very comfortable to wear, though it did fit smaller than expected and I initially could not wear it because it was a little too tight, but it ended up fitting after dropping a few pounds. The colors on the plaid are really nice looking and is a great shirt for work or church

This shirt is a polyester / cotton blend which keeps it wrinkle free. I ordered the Tiger's Eye style in medium and it looks good with khakis, dress pants, and denim. It feels cool which makes for a comfortable shirt in moderate or warm weather. I also ordered the medium which fits me well except in the sleeves. My size in a traditional dress shirt is a 16" neck and 32"-33" sleeve. The neck on this shirt feels like a 16" neck but the sleeves are a good 2" longer than my other shirts, making this a 34"-35" sleeve. The cuffs have two buttons allowing you to compensate for the length somewhat with a smaller diameter cuff but it looks a little bunched up in the arms. I'll be wearing it with the cuffs folded back once or twice. Overall, it's a good quality shirt but if I was trying it on in a store, I would probably pass on it due to the sleeve length.
