This shirt was my first of many shirt purchases from W&R on the advice of a work colleague- I'm sure glad I took his advice! This shirt punches above its weight in craftsmanship, quality, and price. The brushed cotton is the perfect year-round weight for the Carolina climate, and it holds up to home washing remarkably well. The classic navy check is correct for all seasons, and is easy to dress up or down. The addition of an eighth button on all W&R shirts mean the shirts will stay tucked into place without billowing. As far as sizing, I found that the tailored fit is the perfect "Goldie Locks" fit- not too modern but not a full cut, either. For reference I am 6' tall, 170lbs,wear a 40R jacket, and a 15.5 x 34 shirt.
