Review on Nautica Valley Flare Small Men's Clothing for Men by Flee Pannell

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Mixed feelings about this shirt.

I don't like the Men's Nautica SS Pine Valley Polo in Sundrop a bit. On the one hand I love the light, sunny color and the soft, pleasant to the touch fabric. But on the other hand there are a few issues that prevent me from giving it a full five star rating. First, the size is a bit wonky. I ordered a small (my usual size) and found it a little tight in the chest and shoulders but oddly loose in the waist. It's not a deal breaker, but it does make for a slightly odd landing. Second, the collar isn't as crisp and well defined as we'd like. During the day it tends to sag a bit and lose its shape. Again, it's not a big deal, but enough to make me think twice before wearing it to more formal occasions. Still, it's a durable shirt that's perfect for everyday occasions. It's great to put on shorts and sneakers and go on a business day or a trip with friends. Just don't expect it to be the most perfectly tailored polo in the world.

Pros
  • Durability - The fabric will stand up to repeated washings, keeping it looking great after many wears and offering great value for money.
Cons
  • The fit is unflattering on some body types, causing discomfort and awkwardness.
