Van Heusen Men's Dress Shirt Fitted Poplin Solid

Comment

Its hard for me to find dress shirts that fit well. There are two issues. One is how fitted it is. Im 510, 145lbs, slim torso (wear a 38R suit) and waist (30"). So the vast majority of dress shirts Im swimming in, even when theyre "slim fit" or "fitted." The other issue is sleeve length: My sleeve length is ideally in between the 32/33 and the 34/35, so the former is usually too short and the latter is usually too long. These shirts are the best Ive found in terms of satisfying both my slim body and my arm length. I could use an even slimmer cut tbh, but these are good enough, and the sleeve length is just enough to not feel too short. I first found these at a Van Heusen outlet store at an outlet mall, and since they fit reliably, why bother trying to find something else that fits properly? I just buy these off Amazon whenever I need new shirts. Right now, I have six of them.

Needed a plain white button down. Maybe its been sitting on the shelf for a few years. I dont know. It seems to have the "perma-wrinkle treatment applied. Received it, washed it according to the international symbol instructions. Wrinkled as a shar pei swimming back to China. Ironed it, ironed it again with steam. Looked okay, but once I put it on it took only a few minutes for the original fold creases to be visible. No choice but to wear it. Later, washed it, and had to iron it again. Buy Geoffrey Beene. I have 4 of that brand, and never an issue. Ill not buy a Van Heusen from Amazon Prime again, no matter what the price.

I bought the first one that fit great. So I ordered a second. It felt like I looked like a flying squirrel. The first had a normal display shirt with pins in it. The second was a crappy Indonesian look alike that came with no cardboard, no pins, no proper packaging. Buyer beware.

Bought one of these thinking that at that price, if it was at all decent, Id buy10. Well, it was even worse than the price would suggest. The tag said it was a 16-inch neck (my size), but it must have actually been a 17.5-inch neck. Even with the top button done and a tie on I felt like I was wearing an open neck shirt. And I looked like I was trying to create my own clown costume. It was also supposed to be "fitted," but that would only have been true if Id been a woman and nine months pregnant. Tossed it in the trash without bothering to return. Save your $20.

I wear dress shirts literally everyday. Most of the ones I wear are from Van Hausen, they are not prohibitively expensive. They don’t fade and they don’t need ironing. These shirts are very very wrinkle resistant which is why I buy them. You can hang them even after they’re out of the drier and tossed in a pile and it’ll still look nice. They also don’t fade as far as I’ve noticed. The only thing I will say is the black van hausen shirt is not the same shade of black as their pants are. Which bothers me but prob isn’t noticeable to most people.
