I LOVE this shirt and would give it 5 stars if not for the shrinkage issue. I took the advice of everyone who said to order one size larger than usual (thank you!). I'm a woman who is more comfy in men's sweaters than women's. I like my sweaters extra roomy so I usually order size Medium. Heeding the advice of other reviewers, I ordered a size Large. It was massive. Way too big for me. But after one machine washing/drying, it's no longer large. Maybe more like a Small/Medium. Perfect for me now. I do worry that if it shrinks more, it will be too tight, so I'll probably skip the dryer next time. I'm 5 ft 7 inches and weigh approximately 138 pounds.
I'm a 3x woman and have a hard time buying clothes here because Bean just doesn't have a very large selection of female 3x. So I bought this XL regular mens and am delighted with it. Its the perfect alternative - the length is just right. Not too long, but can be tucked in and will stay - you don't have to keep retucking the back every time you bend over. The sleeves are perfect - not made for a chimp. I don't even have to roll them up at the cuff. This is warm, comfy, and very suitable for womens wear. And not itchy!
I have a high end monitor with accurate color, but the red is very different than what I received. The red henley is a much brighter red in reality. Also note that the buttons are larger than on most henley shirts.
