Very nice shirt. At a clearance outlet in Maine, I found one with kaki and beige lines on a cream background (see photo). I love the color but it is not available anymore. Why?
Disappointed in the wrinkle resistance of this shirt. I've washed it only once and took it out of the dryer after it was dry but before the dryer had stopped. It didn't look good enough to wear without being touched up. What's so disappointing is that I have similar shirts from L. L. Bean purchased around 2 years ago which come out of the dryer looking perfect. Why did they mess with a good thing?
Also note that there is a tag in the collar of this shirt attached on only one edge, so that the other three edges are free to irritate your neck. I point that out because the tag does not appear in the photo on the web site that I am looking at at the moment.
My husband has this shirt in three different colors. It's a nice shirt. Fits like it should. But, it has to be ironed to look nice enough to wear to work in a casual setting. There is another shirt on this website--something like the "Kennebunk Sport" that actually comes out of the drier looking wrinkle-free enough to wear without ironing. It's not quite as heavy as this one, but it's great under a sweater. This one is fine; it just needs to be ironed to look nice.
Several years ago LL Bean sold these amazing twill shirts that came out of the dryer looking like it was freshly pressed. We NEVER ironed them and they wore like iron. My husband absolutely loved those shirts and wore them until the collars started to wear, but only after several years of wear. Unfortunately, Bean has stopped making that quality of these shirts. This shirt is thinner and really needs a quick press to make it look as good as the "old time" shirts. He likes the shirt, but the quality is just not the same.
