Review on πŸ‘” Men's Clothing: Amazon Essentials Slim Fit Long Sleeve Checkered Shirt by Ghostnote Hankins

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Landing is tight, but not quite correct, likes to crumple.

I bought a blue mini rubber band. The pattern isn't bad, but it can strain your eyes a bit when looking at it and trying to tell if it's a solid light blue or a checkered blue and white. At least that's my personal experience. What worries me is how prone the fabric is to wrinkling, which is likely made worse by the fine pattern making fine lines more visible. The fabric can loosen up with more socks/washing - I've only worn it 3 times so far. With a cotton shirt like this, I usually let it hang loose and spray it lightly with water to keep it from fading. Wrinkles are smoothed before application. It doesn't often last more than 5 minutes while I do other things to get ready. But this shirt still clings to some of the thinner creases, and as you wear it, you'll quickly develop new creases. I don't think this was a big issue - it's more of a casual shirt in my opinion and the creases aren't obvious except at arm's length where they show and then you start to feel the eyes. Strain if you look at the mini pattern. It's enough to be slightly annoying. As for the fit, I found the neck a bit tight. I bought a large one as I usually wear it but an extra 20 or 4cm in the neck area would be very welcome. The chest fits well, although I find it quite tight at the shoulders (another half inch would be nice). I suspect that if I cross my arms too abruptly, the shoulder/back area may tear. I thought about going up a size but looking at the measurements I suspect it would look too baggy. But I might decide to try a less loaded pattern later. I'm leaving the shirt on for now, but I probably won't wear it too much if I can.
