Van Heusen Men's Dress Shirt Fitted Poplin Solid

Comment

I own other Van Heusen fitted shirts that I purchased in store which are softer and provide more room in the shoulders. I originally purchased this shirt in a 16 1/2 however, I had to return it as it was slightly too tight. I then ordered a 17 thinking it would be a better fit. The size 17 does not provide much more room than the 16 1/2 did. The shoulders are tight, the chest is slightly larger, the length is longer, the waist is a little larger than I would like. The shirt is supposed to taper as it goes down however, it seems to get wider. I go to the gym and have a large chest with a slimmer waist. I own a size 16 Van Heusen fitted shirt that fits me better then the 16 1/2 I ordered on Amazon. I own a size 17 that I purchased in store and it provides significantly more room than the 17 ordered from Amazon. In my opinion, the shirts sold on amazon are irregular. Perhaps they were made for another region. The material does not feel the same as my other Van Heusen shirts so I question if they are knock-offs. The amazon shirts are more stiff and less comfortable. I am unhappy with this purchase. I believe that if I did not have a muscular build the shirt would fit fine. I purchase fitted, not slim fit, shirts because of my muscular build.

I have had to graduate from a 17-1/2 collar to an 18. I have been using extensions to increase collar size, but that was uncomfortable and difficult to do. I am a singer and my neck size has kept increasing and hopefully, it will stay an 18. Anyway, the shirt is very comfortable and the collar size just right. I have a little room in the collar and that helps. The body of the shirt is just right and the shoulder seam comes a little below the end of the shoulder. My wife approves. The material is comfortable and soft. It came out of the dryer wrinkle free. As for the fit, it was better than I expected. Great product. I have ordered three more. Hope that they are the same. I probably have a 16-1/2 body size with a 18 neck. No equality there.

I regret buying this. It is paper thin and shows more skin tone through than any other dress shirt I own. Serious flaw. Might be ok in a dark color, looks cheap and bad in white. On the positive side, the fit is perfect and true to size. It says it is "fitted" but really it is sized for an average non-fat build. Not overly long or billowed out. The collar is also on the small size. Is plain white fabric so expensive they had to make it super thin and with an undersized collar? It is a shame Amazon doesnt have a basic white dress shirt at a low generic price. While not expensive, you can do a lot better just getting a fancy brand on sale at a department store.

This shirt is HUGE, it hangs in billowy folds off me and tucking it into slacks is like taking in a main sail! In what sense this could be called a "fitted" shirt is beyond my comprehension. Holy cow. Just a completely unflattering cut of a shirt. The sleeves are so voluminous, you would need three meaty arms just to fill one. The collar hangs away from my neck like Im a malnourished child in my obese fathers clothing. This was a comically bad purchase and this shirt went straight into the donation bag minutes after it was unwrapped.

Great fit! Matte black is refreshingly clean looking next to sateen materials. Several compliments from co workers, and guests at work. The weave is solid, and the shirt is completely opaque. This shirt really takes to ironing well. I can starch a crease in the arm that will be visible when I pull it out of the dryer after washing it. I started with two, alternated them, and washed them between shifts. After two weeks, Im buying 3 more. I just want 5 of these pressed and ready to go, so I know Ive got a killer shirt ready to go to work every day. At this point Im so worried itll vanish, I might even buy more, and keep them in plastic until my other ones wear. I have paid up to $100 on a black dress shirt for a quality make, and look. This is $20. WTF was I thinking? After seeing the way these fit the waist, I look at other people with shirt spilling over their pants like a sad muffin top, and rejoice knowing that isnt me!
