I'm back to buy more of these, January 24, 2010
By NCMountainBoy from Western North Carolina

"I'm an old school duck hunter and these shirts are the closest thing to the old viyella shirts we used to wear in the 60s and 70s...warm and light weight without the scratchiness of wool...I wear mine under my waxed cotton hunting jacket...pull a light wool sweater over it and you just added protection for another 20 degrees....I would give this shirt 6 stars if I could!"

Be sure you are willing to "work" this shirt, December 13, 2009
By WorkinMan from Philiadelphia, PA

"The shirts I bought looked great in the catalog and on the web site. They looked okay when they arrived (drab / washed-out colors), but I thought I would wear them and give them a try. I work in an office... by the time I got home the 1st day the shirt was a mess... wrinkled, sloppy... looked like I had worn it to bed. I guess if you are willing to put a lot of work into this shirt it could work out okay... I just don't think clothing should be that much trouble."

Houndstooth shirt, November 5, 2009
By Anextravagantquilter from Ithaca, NY

"I purchased this for my son-in-law who is discerning about his shirts. He loves the softness of the fabric which has some wool along with the cotton. It equals the more expensive Vyella type of shirt, looks good and is true to size."

"These are the best. Best fit, best material, best comfort of any shirt out there. I like that there is no "No Wrinkle" material / treatment in them. Cotton and wool only!!

Great shirt for casual and business casual, September 27, 2009
By rtiubron from Oregon

"I purchased one of these in russet over a year ago. I'm glad they're back for this fall. The 80/20 cotton wool blend is soft and comfortable. The houndstooth pattern is a classic and looks great. I recently ordered another one in navy blue."

Houndstooth Shirt, October 30, 2008
By damper from Duncanville, TX

"The cotton / wool combination used in this fabric makes a wonderfully soft hand and pleasant feel against the skin on cold days. It is easy care, wash cold and dry low. Ironing is a snap. This is an excellent addition to any man's wardrobe."

Lightweight warmth, August 28, 2008
By westcoastlady from Southern Oregon

"I bought this shirt for my husband last year. He loves the lightweight warmth it provides. I am ordering him another because he wears this shirt all the time. It is perfect for travel or at home. It washes beautifully with minimal wrinkling. The wool blend is great too."
