Review on πŸ‘• Amazon Essentials Slim Fit Cotton Pique: Stylishly Flattering and Comfortable for Everyday Wear" by Steve Hauck

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Decent quality, small size, light material

I bought this hoping for an eye catching piece of clothing. What I received was an inexpensive shirt that was probably reasonably priced for what I received. I wear the big one in almost all polo shirts. I'm 5'9", 175 lbs, tucked in, waist 32. If you compare Jos A Bank's large Ledbetter polo shirt, this shirt is about 3 inches shorter and roughly proportionally smaller in the rest of the world. It hardly comes out of the packaging. If I were to order again I would definitely go up and I'm not sure you can wear it tucked in and expect it to stay tucked in. The quality seems to be good. No skipped stitches, obvious flaws, etc. The fabric is very light. I also weighed the JAB Polo and it's on a kitchen scale. The JAB polo, which was probably washed 100 times, weighed 12.5 ounces, which is 8.5. Part of that has to do with the size, but most of it is simply because the material is very thin in my opinion. So if you're ordering to avoid paying a lot and you're happy with a lightweight polo, choose the appropriate size and you'll get decent value for what you've spent. If you're ordering hoping to get a $40 polo for half that amount, then you probably aren't.

Pros
  • Excellent workmanship
Cons
