Amazon EssentialsMen's Regular-Fit Long-Sleeve Casual Poplin Shirt
P**O
Durable! Hard quality to find nowadays
I've worn a variety of button-up shirts over the years, from Prada to Carhartt, for different occasions – from operas to blue-collar work. Let me tell you this right now: this shirt can work for just about any occasion.What I love about it: the fit, feel, and durability. I lost a good amount of weight and needed to size down, I tried a few Amazon brands, and one black shirt really stood out. It's this model. I've had it for about a year, machine-washed and dried it regularly, and it still looks as good as new. I bought another one a couple months later. It's 100% cotton, which I love for its breathability, but it does wrinkle a bit. Usually it's a trade off in shirts, but again; AMAZING FEEL. It's fairly light so definitely layer up if it's cold; I wore a merino wool base layer underneath and holy guacamole was I comfortable! Although it is long sleeve, it might not keep you the warmest alone, but if you use it in the spring/summer, you're going to love it. When I used it for working on my dad's farm, I honestly didn't care about the wrinkles, but it was never terrible wrinkling. In fact, I got the sleeves hemmed and noticed the wringling on the sleeves is minimal compared to how it was prior, so be prepared to stop by the tailor if you're on the shorter side for that perfect fit (def worth it though). If you ever want to use it for an interview or something, this might not be ideal, but definitely can pass if you hang it in the shower to steam and can impress if you take the time to iron and starche it. I'm on the shorter side, so I usually rolled up the sleeves to avoid wrinkling prior to getting them altered.I'm 5'6", and am just got the sleeves hemmed. I love this shirt so much I bought multiple. So it'll be nice having more colors in my wardrobe that are good quality and fit well. I'm a fan of the pocket too, even though I don't use it much.Now, here's the thing I don't like, and it's not what you'd expect. Have you ever heard of an expression, something along the lines of "if you're not paying for it, someone else is" in regards to fast fashion like Shein and such...It's the ethical aspect – I don't know who made this shirt or the conditions they worked in. I'm hoping the quality speaks for itself as this is far from the "fast fashion" quality you see in modern clothes nowadays. The price isn't terribly cheap...but still, it could be made by kids in the same environment as those old Nike documentaries. I've shifted to buying from countries where I know workers aren't exploited (such as in the USA or Japan). As one working man trying to build a better life for himself, I don't want to shop at the expense of someone else. I had a difficult time finding information, but I'm kind of in a tricky spot as I lost some weight and need something in my closet. But if you're looking for quality that lasts and looks good, this shirt delivers. Try one or two first, and if it feels great, go for it.I'm graduating university soon and hope to make more money where I can buy stuff 100% ethically, so don't think I'll be buying this again unless they make it very transparent where it's coming from. But for interviews or hardworking days when you need something sturdy, I highly recommend this; nothing comes close to bang for buck. If I find out it's ethically made, this will be my first choice for life indefinitely. This is the type of standard quality clothes that were originally held to decades ago.[update: all of my shirts say they're made in Vietnam. I feel it's a step above China and Bangladesh, and the fact that Amazon is putting its name on it, I'm hoping it's at least following stricter labor standards, as there are some good trends in Vietnam humanity speaking. Feel pretty good about buying from them :) Again, typically, I try to buy from the US or Japan, but since I'm on a budget, I am perfectly happy with this and can recommend it to anyone else! changing review to 5/5 stars!]

Good shirt
I bought this shirt because it was seriously on sale but I find myself wearing it all the time. Bold but surprisingly pleasant print, good fit and durable. I find the Amazon stuff hit or miss, but I rate this a hit.

Great Shirt!
I really love this shirt! I ordered the X-Large in white color and it fit me perfectly for my local church event. The 100% cotton material is wonderfully soft and feels great against the skin. Also, it's super convenient that it's machine washable. The shrinkage has been minimal after washing. The material also keeps me warm, making it a great option for slightly cooler days. The only downside is that you definitely need to wear an undershirt underneath to avoid it being see-through. Otherwise, it's a great shirt and I'm very happy with my purchase.

Material must be ironed or steamed each time.
Fit was slightly large for me. Wash and dry a few times has not shrunk it or faded. I’ve owned for over a year now. Only thing I don’t like about this shirt is no matter what, you have to iron or steam it. Some shirts if you hang it right after the dryer you don’t but not with this material. Also, a weird crease pops up after each wash in an odd spot, maybe end of material roll? I don’t wear it as much cause I don’t feel like ironing. Overall, shirt is ok. Cost is cheap and colors and patterns looks decent.

Fits more like a slim fit shirt
This shirt fits tighter than other shirts of the same size, especially across my husband’s middle. The shirt fits more like a slim fit shirt, not like the regular fit shirt it claims to be.Also, the color of the shirt (black) is not quite as black as it should be.

Good staple piece
This is a good, simple black shirt. It was a great value so I got two colors! Not very soft but the colors pop. Works with all types of outfits.
