Hi, I purchased the Wrinkle Resistance Classic Oxford shirt in a 16 1/2 collar, 34 sleeve in the sun color for my husband. He finds it very comfortable and true to size. Like I said above the sun color is a beautiful shade of yellow that looks great against his dark features. With it being so well made it will look terrific for quite some time. We've bought a number of these shirts and have always been pleased and delighted with each one we've received. Thanks L.L.Bean for making a great shirt.
Like LL Bean's chinos, these shirts arrive looking good, but do not stand up to regular wear. Of the four Wrinkle-Resistant Classic Oxford Cloth Shirts that I own, three quickly began to show fraying in the collars and cuffs. One even had a frayed hole appear on the front of the shirt, just below the collar. Thus far, I have returned one shirt, but plan to return all that show this type of wear. I have comparably-priced shirts from other manufacturers that show no such wear after years of ownership.
This shirt fits great, is made of a high quality, heavy duty cotton fabric and much to my surprise it really does come out of the dryer looking as if it had been ironed! The real test will be when I travel abroad and don't have a dryer but have to hang it to dry. Other than that, definitely 5 stars!
one suggestion: Expand your color choices. I would suggest, in this order of preference, (1) pink, (2) lavender and (3) pale green ... and do NOT discontinue the pale yellow!
Shirt size and shape all great, but colour is way way paler than WWW-screen depicts. I selected "French Blue" being the darker shade, but what arrived was a very pale, pastel blue similar to "Blue" ... even though all catalog numbers indicate this was the darker French Blue, disappointed. Will not return, but will have second thoughts about LLBean future orders.
