Kenneth Cole REACTION Men's Dress Shirt Slim Fit Technicole Stretch Solid

Well, here's the thing. He really liked the first one so I ordered a second one. This shirt is advertise as "67% Cotton, 29% Polyester, 4% Spandex". What a perfect mix, right? The label actually says, "63% cotton, 32% polyester, 5% elastane". That should still be a a great mix, right? While the fabric from both shirts feel exactly the same, it's not the same. The first one is mostly wrinkle free. The second one is a WRINKLE MAGNET. The shirt itself is very well made and my guy is 5'11" and 145 pounds, so he is slim. I wouldn't say that this is quite as fitted as other fitted men's dress shirts, but it's acceptable. Please note that the price is going up on the white one. I bought the first one in March at $34 and the second one recently July 29, 2018 at $39. It's now $45.18. IF the price had stayed at $39 AND it was the wrinkle free quality of the first one, I would have bought a couple more in other colors. But after the second shirt, unfortunately, I won't be buying any more of this. Five stars for the first one, 2 stars for the second one, 1 star for decrease in quality of the fabric and 1 star for increasing the price by almost 25% since March. :(

The fit is perfect for me, and I am not even slim. I do have broad shoulders, a thick frame, and a decent winter layer (though I am not pot belly) and yet this shirt drapes me very nicely, especially around the chest. Now, when I engorge myelf on buffett and can't tuck in my stomach, then yes, this shirt would look rediculous on me..I purchased this shirt very specifically for several reasons:1) I need a solid pink shirt for Breast Cancer Awareness month2) the buttons show a subtle logo for Kenneth Cole if you are close and notice. For this reason, I never buy from other brands that emboss their logo obnoxiously on the chest (i.e. T. Hilfiger and R. Lauren). I might reconsider if they pay me to be a walking talking advertisement for them.3) The material is 67% cotton (better looking), 29% polyester (non-wrinkle), and 4% elastane (stretchable and elastic). A very little bit of elastane/spandex/lycra goes a very long way in comfort. And no, it's not a just a woman's thing, so I have no shame wearing anything with a stretchable synthetic blend (as long as it is <5%). Pair this with  Jockey's T-Shirts Slim Fit Cotton Stretch V-neck, white, L  (95% cotton, 5% spandex) and  Calvin Klein Men's Slim Fit 4-Pocket Stretch Sateen Pant, Tornado, 36W 30L  (98% cotton, 2% lycra) and I have myself a super comfortable, breathable set of business casual wears.4) since the fit is perfect right out of the package, no need to make a trip to the cleaners and have a seamstress tailor it for me.5) the shirt has a conservative weave to the fabric. Very simple up-down-over-under in the warp and weft directions. It looks like chambray or end-to-end, if you are familiar with the technicals of shirt fabrics.6) it isn't shear, and isn't 100% opaque. It is in between. Fair skin folks have no problem, it's the darker skins that need help. With that, my white undershirt can still be noticed (I am very very tanned), so I might switch to a long-sleve undershirt. Yes, men have "panty-lines". I plan to buy this same shirt again in indigo, which is darker and makes opacity a moot issue.7) no yolks, no pleats, or anything that gives me exaggerated love-handles or the hunchback look. The only body contouring are two 30° angled shoulder darts, which you can somewhat see in the stock photos.8) even though it came with two cheap plastic collar stays, I will throw those away and use metal ones, such as  Sharper Finish - 16 Stainless Steel Collar Stays For Dress Shirts I am 5'11". Depending on the time of year and my diet, my weight varies between 190#-220#, waist between 34"-36", neck 16-16½, arms 34"/35", chest is 42"-43". Yes this "Techni-Cole™" thing sounds like a marketing gimick and it certainly got me to click the "buy" button, but honestly it's just a shirt with 3 blends of very common materials. And it works because I'm on the fatter side of my annual yo-yo dieting and I still feel very comfortable.

I caught this shirt for $24.00 or $34.00 on Amazon. Fits well, love the flexabality of it, and great for the price I paid. Its hard to find shirts that actually fit a 15 1/2, 36,37, its just an odd size, glad KK does carry them.

I took some measurements of my chest, neck and arms and decided on this sized shirt. It fits exactly as expected. Length of the shirt is perfect for a tuck, but reasonable for the end of the night when you untuck. Just a bit of stretch for comfort, nothing crazy. Neck is snug, maybe could have gone 1/2 size larger, but I have a thick neck. Arm length is good, but I will be wearing rolled up.Material feels a little stiff, but it's nice. I am happy with this shirt.I have a belly hiding an incredible eight pack, but no one will ever see it ;) any fatter and shirt might be a bit high and not look as good. Hope this helps any guys my size.

I really wanted to like this shirt because I like some of Kenneth Cole's stuff. However this is their "nice" shirt and is outclassed by other shirts they offer around 1/3rd the price. The stretchy material is cool, that's what attracted me to this shirt, however it frays quickly, holes(?) in the shirt become exaggerated rather quickly (spandex material and weaving design in the upper back and shoulders the allow for stretching, stretch out and don't return. Yeah, bad. Did not like. Also, the slim fit Reaction Technicole line is not slim fit at all. They're actually fairly close to classic fit a.k.a trash bag. After thinking about it for awhile I've decided it's probably designhed. and geared towards "dad bod's" with a little extra walking weight so that the silhouette is smoothed out by the stretchiness, and not actually for mobility as marketed.

I've tried a number of different dress shirts and even though I know my size, each brand is cut just slightly differently. I've found the Kenneth Cole ones just fit best. The little bit of stretch makes them more comfortable and gives me more mobility throughout the day. The fabric is pretty thin, which is nice during the summer because it doesn't get too hot like a heavier cotton shirt, but isn't so thin you can see right through it. While it does wrinkle throughout the day as you wear it, it is not too noticeable. Cleaning the shirt is a breeze, I can just toss them into a washing machine and I haven't had to iron them. No need to take them in to get them professionally cleaned.I'm gradually replacing all of my other dress shirts with this style and the price point around $30.00 is just about right. Don't pay the retail price.

Shirt is great, fit nice. Product was clearly a used/returned item though.It came in a ball of plastic vs the normal plastic nicely folded packaging for dress shirts. Pinholes were visible, tags had clearly been ripped off and then tied back on, smelt like smoke....nice shirt but should have been sold as second hand, not new.

Bought these for my man and they look terrific on him. The material is soft yet crisp. Great value for the price. I bought 2 white ones and liked them so much I bought a blue one. The blue one was nice except the fabric felt different. It felt soft but not crisp.

El material es agradable al tacto y la hechura es muy buena, con corte moderno. La prenda es muy cómoda y aporta libertad de movimiento por su material elástico. Yo uso cuello 16 1/2 y por lo mismo necesito talla G y el corte strech me ajusta perfecto, a diferencias de otra marcas que tengo que comprar el corte regular. Quizás el único problema es que la tela es muy delgada y tengo que usarla con camiseta interior. .

La tela se siente delgada, pero también es flexible. Habrá que esperar a ver como se siente con el tiempo. Pagué poco más de 600 pesos con todo y envío, por el precio creo que está bien, pero quizá convenga esperar alguna oferta que las baje de precio

I like how the shirt fits and looks. But it has a couple downsides:1. The material is thin. It's probably wise to wear an undershirt.2. The shirt is pinned to the packaging, and the pins left holes, which may come out in the wash, we'll see. In one case, a pin pulled a thread, so be very carefully pulling them out. But that's behind the shoulder, so not in an obvious place.
