Let me start by saying this shirt exceeded my expectations. The 100% cotton oxford fabric is soft yet sturdy, striking that perfect balance between comfort and durability. After multiple washes (yes, I even threw it in the dryer without babying it), the shirt held its shape impressively well.

The regular fit lives up to its name - it's comfortable through the shoulders and chest without being boxy. I wore it both tucked and untucked during a workweek, and it looked polished either way. The button-down collar stays put nicely, which I appreciate since I hate constantly adjusting my collar.

Now for the not-so-perfect parts: That scratchy label! Why do manufacturers still use these medieval torture devices? I had to perform surgery to remove mine (carefully cutting around the melted plastic edges). Also, while I love the thickness of the fabric for fall/winter, it might be too warm for summer in hotter climates.

The sizing seems to run slightly small - I'm typically a medium but needed a large in this shirt. And yes, the lack of a chest pocket is noticeable if you're used to having one. But at this price point, these are minor complaints for what's otherwise an excellent everyday shirt.

Final verdict? This has become my go-to work shirt that can handle daily wear without falling apart. Just keep some scissors handy for that label!
