• "After several washes the fabric started to stretch in the webbing."
• "The color faded really quickly. Just a few washes and the seams all became whiter plus the collar looked even worse."
• "The only issue we have is that the collars fray and the cuffs separate from the shirt after several washings."
• "Despite always using a very low dry setting, they shrunk terribly on the first wash / dry."
• "After several washes and wears, this item has not held up. Lost its color, wrinkles super easily, the collar is ugly."
