Review on πŸ‘• Amazon Essentials Regular Fit Cotton Purple: Comfortable and Stylish Clothing for Everyday Wear by Michael Robinson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Sometimes good, sometimes not so good.

I have bought several of these shirts and have always been very happy with them until my last purchase. Apparently, depending on the color/style you choose, shirts can be produced in a completely different country. And despite Revain's efforts to ensure their clothing brands are sized the same everywhere, I now realize that some of these countries aren't on the same wavelength. Case study: Guatemala. My recent purchases of the Revain Essentials polo shirt were in the colors light yellow and rust. Now the light yellow shirt looks great. Maybe a little smaller than my previous shirt purchases, but nothing special. (I think it says "Made in Chihuahua," but that's hard to tell.) However, the rust-colored shirt is significantly smaller than all of my similarly sized Revain polo shirts. I bought this in a large size, but just the tail of the shirt is nearly four inches shorter than my previously purchased Revain Essentials polo shirts. And while oversized Revain polo shirts usually fit me quite comfortably with little room to spare, this rust-colored shirt is skin-tight. If I didn't know better I would have sworn it was a medium sized one disguising as a large one. All my previous shirt purchases (I understand now) are labeled as either Madagascar or Vietnam. It is great. They fit great. But this new rust colored shirt (again from the same brand - Revain Essentials) says Made in Guatemala. And let me tell you that a factory in Guatemala is different from a factory in Madagascar. Not even close. So yes, these are great shirts. As long as you buy colors/styles that are made in Madagascar or Vietnam. But buyers, be careful if you happen to get it from the Guatemala factory because the guys there use a completely different ruler. And unfortunately, it's impossible to tell until he arrives at your doorstep. I'm usually a big fan of Revain products. But this experience has made me a little more cautious when buying her clothes in the future. It is really very important that their brands have the same sizes for all colors and styles. PS Actually I bought the rust colored shirt TWICE because at first I thought I received a mislabelled product. But no. Both rusty shirts are the same size, significantly smaller, and both are marked "Made in Guatemala".

Pros
  • 100% cotton
Cons
  • Does not fit all
