Review on 👕 Modern and Comfortable: Alex Vando Casual Regular Men's Shirts for Stylish Wardrobe by Mike Walters

Revainrating 5 out of 5

not great, but not cheap either

Bought 2 size L shirts, one blue and one grey. Both said the label is made in China from 97% cotton and 3% spandex. Both had lots of loose threads when they came out, almost a dozen per shirt (a few more popped out after the first wash), and I'm only counting those over 1/8 inch long that I had to cut with scissors. The part of the description that said "not many hanging threads" was an outright lie. The quality of the material was satisfactory, not great but not cheap either. I tried them on and they seemed a bit smaller than the other shirts I got in L, but not too bad. These shirts are snug, almost tight, definitely not what I would call a 'regular fit' (even after washing and drying they tightened up, so they must have shrunk.) Minus one star. After they came out of the dryer, they were very wrinkled. I tried petting her and it didn't help much. I've never had the same problem with crumpled cotton shirts as I have with these. 10 minutes of ironing almost didn't smooth out the creases, and they were still clearly visible even from a distance. you don't care about wrinkles, that's great, but it really annoyed me. Another star minus. Another point (and this only applies to the blue shirt as it didn't happen with the gray) that after the first wash I noticed that the blue shirt already had a few small white spots about 1/8" long , a pair on the front button placket and one on the left sleeve "cuff" These areas appear to have faded color (although the areas are smooth and not rough at all), although they're just really noticeable are If you are local This has happened to some cheap shirts I have bought in the past after a dozen washes or so but for this to happen on the very first wash is unacceptable Minus another star Overall for the low price, I was I'm not expecting much but I don't think they will last more than a few washes from what I've seen so far.

Pros
  • Excellent workmanship
