Review on Van Heusen Stretch 35 Sleeve by John Miller

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Shocked by the poor quality of the material

I have bought many Van Heusen shirts over the last two decades and have kept buying them because in my experience they have lasted the longest and the pattern has stuck only worn out after more than 10 years of use. I had this shirt (blue swatch with regatta print) and I immediately noticed that the worn cuffs were compressed for packing, the swatch looked worn before I even put it on. But overall the shirt looked great and I wanted it to be just an anomaly that was less noticeable. Now, after only six washes on delicate fabrics, tumble dry max 20 minutes on low, then hang to dry, the faded/worn lines along the cuffs are becoming more and more visible, and yesterday I noticed the dot collars are quickly disappearing. The end result is that the shirt is actually worn out and can no longer be worn to work after a month and a half. I don't like leaving negative reviews, but since I can't find a way to contact the company right now, this is my only option. I'll be happy to update this review if anyone from Van Heusen contacts me.

Pros
  • I hold my fists
Cons
  • Hard to say
