Amazon Essentials Regular Fit Long Sleeve X Large Reviews Summary

Fabric Quality

Pros:

• "The fabric of the shirt feels great, it's soft and breathable, very suitable for wearing in the spring and autumn seasons."
• "The fabric is where this shirt truly shines. The poplin material feels soft against the skin and has a lightweight, breathable quality."
• "It's 100% cotton, which I love for its breathability."
• "The fabric feels substantial, and the cut of the hem allows it to be worn tucked in or with shirttails out."
• "The fabric is good quality and much heavier than I thought it would be."
• "The fabric is all cotton, really breathable, but opaque enough to not need an undershirt; perfect for summer."
• "The fabric texture looks and feels smoother than oxford but not as smooth/dressy and broadcloth."

Cons:

• "Def not a high quality shirt."
• "The material feels like paper or something. Very thin & stiff… which makes the shirt uncomfortable to wear because the fabric doesn’t move with your body."
• "Material feels flimsy and doesn't drape well after washing. Takes a lot of ironing to look decent."
• "The material this shirt is made of feels like it's made of paper/thin cardboard."
• "Material is thin, see through and stiff."
• "The shirt quality is akin to thick paper versus cloth."
• "However, the quality of the fabric is really bad and I suspect it won't last very long."

Fit and Size

Pros:

• "These shirts fit really well per the proper size listed but the wrinkles are unavoidable."
• "This shirt fits wonderfully for a person that is 5 9 and weighs 185 with a little extra belly fat."
• "It runs true to size."
• "The fit is really nice, and the material is great."
• "The fit of the shirt that I ordered is perfect for me. I am six feet tall and 174 pounds. My build is slim and athletic and it fit me across the chest like a custom shirt."
• "Fit is perfect for my 42” chest with comfortable room but not too much."
• "The fit is true to size, and the quality of the fabric, seams and finishing is quite good."

Cons:

• "These shirts run very large. Definitely order a size down from normal."
• "The other problem I have with them is the neck size. I wear a 2XL. One would think that a shirt of that size would have a neck size comparable."
• "I always buy 2XL shirts or t-shirts (even from Amazon Essentials), but this one is evidently smaller."
• "The XL is a little large on me, but I generally am somewhere between L and XL for generically sized shirts."
• "The shirt was too short to be a true XXL."
• "If you are over six feet tall the sleeves will probably be too short."
• "I am about 6ft tall and 250 pounds with a slight dad bod and the XL fits great."

Wrinkle Resistance

Pros:

• "The fabric also has some wrinkle resistance and doesn't easily become wrinkled."
• "Easy to iron and wrinkles are low."
• "And after washing, I could wear this without having to iron it. It doesn't wrinkle that much."
• "I didn't have any major problems with it being wrinkled after a wash either."
• "The fabric is lightweight, and doesn't wrinkle too easily."
• "Nice soft cotton. Soft wrinkles look fashionable."
• "They are very nicely sewn with a substantial, breathable, smooth cotton that is thankfully not wrinkle prone."

Cons:

• "They are definitely not wrinkle free - even straight from the dryer."
• "After I washed & dried it, the shirt came out of the dryer so wrinkled it could not be worn."
• "The first time I dried it, I pulled it straight out of the dryer and sprayed with downy wrinkle releaser. It did okay. The second time, my wife left it in the dryer a day or so. When it cam out, it was wrinkled beyond repair."
• "Absolutely terrible. Claims to be a wrinkle free shirt and non iron but wrinkled after the first wash and dry."
• "The shirt is not wrinkle-resistant or wrinkle-free."
• "Wrinkles galore. Seemingly impossible to iron out."
• "It's very thin cotton that wrinkles easily."

Color and Appearance

Pros:

• "Looks fantastic paired with a suit or navy or olive sportcoat, or a pair of jeans and sneakers."
• "Good fabric. Great colors."
• "The colors are bright and match the pictures on the website. Classy looking shirt!"
• "The checked pattern includes colors that are dark and light blue, gray and black, and white."
• "It’s a nice dark blue, and though I tend to like button down collars, the collar sits well unbuttoned."
• "Nice shirt for the $$."
• "I absolutely love this shirt and highly recommend it if you want a light weight shirt that looks linen and has a very complimentary and pleasing look."

Cons:

• "But after 4 months the 'charcoal' has faded to a murky purplish-gray partially from normal washing, but mostly from sun fading."
• "After 1 wash it looked ridiculously faded. It looked like I had washed it at least 20 times already."
• "The color of the shirt is definitely a washed black, lighter than what you would normally see on other black garments."
• "The color is also bright lavender so I feel like that should be more obvious in the photos which made it seem like a very light pastel stripe accent."
• "After a few washes of a black shirt, the color seems to be fading."
• "Nothing wrong with shirt quality/price. However product image is misleading as I got a white shirt with purple stripes (not into purple stripes)."
• "The color is lacking."
