great quality shirt and fabric as always. The cut is slightly narrower at the shoulders than the regular fit, and even though it's narrower through the body I wouldn't call it trim fit. She sleeves are also a little shorter than the same size in the regular cut shirt. The length is a little shorter than the regular fit so it comes untucked sometimes but is still a fraction too long to wear untucked. Great value though and even though it's not a perfect fit for me, I'm getting some good wear out of it.

Had been wearing Brooks Brothers, but as a liberal arts college professors I have to wear these Oxford cloth shirts a lot. Brooks has a great shirt, but they're much more expensive and are baggy; I love this: trim, no puff in the back, versatile and wearable ... half the price of a comparable Brooks Brothers shirt. Two thumbs up!
I did not believe other reviews who said this is not much of a trim fit shirt and had to find out for myself. The shirt is huge and I returned it. It is a nice shirt, but if you need a trim fit shirt, don't waste your time to find out that this is not it.
