Review on Nautica Classic Heather Sleeve Anchor by Kevin Lawson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I love them but they shrink and shrink

I wear Nautica polo shirts almost exclusively. Daily. I have half a dozen that I change during the week, wash at the weekend, and wear again the following week. My closet is small and plain. I love the idea behind these Nautica polo shirts. They're comfortable, stylish, durable and cheaper than polo shirts from other well-known brands like Ralph Lauren. But I have one main complaint: they shrink. And shrink. You're probably talking about "cold water, idiot". One step ahead my friend. I only wash them in cold water and tumble dry low. I do my best except hand wash and line dry. I still order these shirts all the time, but it's gotten to the point where I purposely buy them a size up. I try them on fresh out of the bag (before washing) - as expected, they are too big. A wash shrinks them to the size I need. But they continue to shrink on subsequent washes until they become too tight. It becomes an expensive affair if you have to keep replacing them because they shrink a lot.
