Review on BUTTONED Button Collar Non Iron Burgundy Gingham by William Rothstein

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Understated Overpriced Shirt With Insanely Short Hem

I have a hard time finding shirts that fit properly so the Revain range with sleeves up to 38 inches and a relatively small neck size is much appreciated. This shirt has a good cut and pattern. I do have to deduct one star for the fabric being a little flimsy and cheap for the price though, and another for the really amazing decision to make the shirt tails so short. This is a shirt dress that needs to have a long hemline to stay tucked in. I have casual shirts that I never tuck in that have longer hems than this one. I've heard of cost cutting, but when you compromise a shirt's essential function, that's just ridiculous. I took a picture with a different brand button down shirt in exactly the same size (16x37). And even the shirt doesn't always stay tucked in all day. Make the shirts long enough and I'll probably buy more as that size is so hard to find.

Pros
  • Slim Fit: Slim fit with a slight taper from chest to waist, narrower sleeves and narrower armholes for a more precise fit. Slim Fit is similar to Contemporary or Trim Fit
Cons
  • Makes me nervous
