I am not very pleased with the feel of this material; it feels a bit cheap. I have a function on my dryer to prevent wrinkles and it works for all other shirts, but not these. I bought four of these shirts for my husband and I'm slightly annoyed about all the wrinkles. I still need to run an iron on it.
My husband LOVES this particular shirt. It is his favorite type of shirt to wear to work. Wash after wash it looks brand new. The colors have never faded, they look ironed right out of the dryer, and are very comfortable. We buy XXL TALL and they are a great fit and we are thrilled to have this size available without it being excessively huge. We have had problems with different expensive brand shirts shredding on the edges over time (the material would ravel on the folded areas) and then looked terrible- this has not happened anywhere on any of the LL BEAN shirts. Which THRILLS us. Because it is very annoying to drop a bunch of money on shirts and then have them start falling apart after about 15-20 washes. So far so good with all of these LL BEAN shirts- they continue to look brand new wash after wash. In our opinion these shirts are worth every penny and look top notch!
I have worn this every week since I bought it and found that it hasn't shown any signs of it. It keeps me warm inside an office environment that is subject to variable temperatures depending on what the air handlers want to do that day. While warm, it also keeps me cool and dry. It's like the shirt understands homeostasis. I recommend this for anyone working in an office setting or for occasional formal dinners for special occasions.
Have bought LL Bean products for years so i feel comfortable stating the facts. If you have purchased XL Tall shirts in the past, be aware, the Traditional sized shirt is now smaller across the back causing a customer to think they have gained weight. Wash the shirt a couple of times and you won't want to wear it..... too tight thru the back, arm pits and upper sleeves. sleeve length seems changed also.
Traditional is now smaller in "several" styles of shirts::: BEWARE!
