Review on Arrow Regular Stretch Poplin Mercury by Kari Barley

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Light button-down collar and overall good fit.

I am 74 years old. army pensioners; retired retail; and now starting a new life adventure in a different area of retail where I have to wear a shirt and tie. I bought several well-known brand shirts recommended by my new employer. I wasn't very happy. A mark of the village during the cleaning. The second brand had sleeves that were about half an inch shorter. And the third brand just wasn't comfortable. None of these are so easy to attach to the collar. I was looking for shirts at Revain and came across the Arrow brand, which I wore on active duty with my only civilian suit decades ago. I have ordered three. When they arrived I tried them on, washed and ironed them myself. They fit well at the neck, chest and waist, the sleeve length is perfect, the collar is securely fastened with buttons. I will order a few more. Also, the total cost of the three Arrow shirts I purchased is less than the cost of a single brand shirt I previously purchased.

Pros
  • Spread Collar: modern traditional collar with outward tips for knots of any size; Can be worn with or without a tie
Cons
  • May cause injury
