Short sleeve Oxford shirts are hard to find in different colors. For the price paid, I was expecting a top-notch shirt. The material is good quality and it fits well. I am of average height and found that the buttons, only seven, go down to just above the belt line. One more button below the belt would be a great addition and would keep the shirt tucked in well throughout the day. I have no need to buy the Tall style shirt.
I bought this shirt in blue and white checked for my husband. He's worn it several times and loves the feel and fit. I LOVE the fact that it can be packed in a suitcase and come out wrinkle-free. Not all wrinkle resistant shirts do that. I would like to see more colors; maybe tan and white or green and white. The current colors of red, white and blue checked or the green, blue and white checked shirt would be a bit too flashy for him. A subtle stripe would be nice too.
I was so tired of buying shirts in local stores that didn't fit, or not for long. I bought the XL but the bottoms of the shirts always rode up quickly to my waist or snuck up above the belt line.
I ordered the LLB XL "tall" size and am very happy with the fit and the entire quality of the shirts. After several washings they are plenty long and tuck in 4 or 5 inches below the belt line.
This review applies to both the Oxford and the canvas 2-pocket shirt 270136.
I thought the LL Bean shirts were a tad more expensive, but grew to hate even putting on the other shirts and wearing them all day. Considering the number of hours and time I will be wearing these shirts it is well worth it. I am adding two or three more shirts to my wardrobe every month from LL Bean. I am extremely happy with the length and fit, finally, and the quality of material and finish is very good.
