This is my favorite shirt. The quality is noticeable at glance and the cut is nice and trim. Works well with shorts and rolled-up sleeves or tucked into chinos with a tie. I've gotten many compliments on it and I would love to get one in a salmon or strawberry color, but unfortunately Bean doesn't make one!
I have this shirt in other colors. The shirt is great in every respect, especially the wrinkle free. However, I ordered a French Blue shirt, it came in as what we here in New Orleans consider Oxford Blue, a light, sky blue. French Blue to me is a deep, strong blue.... a shame as I was looking for a French Blue in such a well constructed, wrinkle free shirt.
I am quite impressed with oxford cloth shirts. The collar and the cuff-wrist portion have retained their 'starched' feeling which is very important to me.
My only desire ... provide more color choices in this wrinkle resistant category.
My sons (and my husband) are all well over 6 feet and all require 35" sleeve length so options can be limited. Both boys are slim so I was pleased to find the trim fit. My youngest has started his first real job and requires business attire so I ordered a bunch of shirts. For these shirts, everything was great 'til he raised his arm and the shirt pulled out of his pants (they weren't low ridin'!). We've kept the shirts anyway because everything else was great but he really has to watch the sides. The M Tall shirts I got him were fine. Guess I should have only looked at Talls but these were what we wanted. I spent a lot of money and they aren't perfect as I expected from L.L. Bean! Disappointed!! Will give a qualified recommendation.
