Van Heusen Men's Dress Shirt Regular Fit Flex Collar Solid

Comment

I have always worn Van Heusen shirts for work, because they are usually a great value for the low-cost. I usually wear the Poplin fitted shirts with the regular collars, but I have since gained a bit of weight and decided to try this regular fit flex collar shirt. When I received the shirt, it looked to be about the same great quality as my previous shirts, but that view changed after actually wearing the shirt for a day. The collar really doesnt flex that much, is actually quite scratchy, and holds onto sweat like no other. By the end of the day, my neck felt quite uncomfortable since it was now sweaty and a bit raw. The rest of the shirt was actually of ok material, like many of the previous Van Heusen shirts I have worn in the past. It is light and very breathable, however, this regular fit is really baggy. The arms are huge and the sides of the shirt seem to be able to fit another person. I am a big guy (60" 300 pounds) and even then, the 18.5, 36/37 shirts were big on me. I really had to tuck the back of the shirt together just to keep the front of my shirt from looking like a total mess. Luckily I use shirt stays to hold the shirt down, or else it would balloon like no other. I am slightly disappointed with this shirt, especially considering the fit and quality of my previous Van Heusen shirts. That said, I cannot really complain about the price. Lets just hope the collar issue is resolved after a few washes.

Ive always liked Van Heusen shirts. I especially appreciate the flexible collar since Ive recently started lifting and my neck is growing faster than I thought. It holds up to washing well, and looks just fine after the dryer without ironing.

I ordered the shirt 1/2” smaller in the neck than usual to see how the flex collar feature worked for me. The top button is very difficult and it’s a snug fit. There’s not much flex. The fabric is thin and in the white version it’s semi-transparent (skin visible through the shirt). The light green version doesn’t have this problem. Recommend ordering standard neck size in a color. Otherwise the shirt appears to be well made and is a good value for the price. Updated 10/1/18: The shirt is advertised to be wrinkle free. When washed with other wrinkle free/easy care shirts, there are more wrinkles with this shirt. Overall this shirt is okay for business casual attire - it’s not as good as I was hoping it would be.

PERFECT. Loved this shirt. Im a devastatingly handsome XLish guy and far too many times shirts either run small / large, shrink, are paper thin, or hot as the face of the sun....this shirt had decent tuck in back and was really comfortable. Id be happy to have a closet full of them!

Beautiful colors and great fit. My husband has been a Van Heusen fan for years but they seem to have begun to fit oddly. This shirt is perfect. Hes very muscular and that causes him to be rather beefy across the shoulders and neck area. He says these shirts fit much better than the other line of VH Ive purchased before and he wants more of these. So, two thumbs up and,of course, two from me because he looks pretty drool-worthy in them!
