short fin Men's Long Sleeve Linen Shirt, with roll up Sleeves

4 stars for quality; 2 stars for sizing accuracy; 3 stars aggregate.The Black XX-Large is actually about the size of an X-Large or smaller. While this doesn't stop me from wearing it -- I'm a size 10/medium woman who buys oversized men's linen shirts to wear as lightweight 'jackets' during the summer months -- I do feel that buyers should be aware of the significant size discrepancy here.The shirt is otherwise gorgeous and well-made -- if light-weight. (While the weight felt great as I wore it over a camisole top during a two-hour walk in 90-degree heat on a June day in Wisconsin, I do worry about how the shirt will hold up when I wash it. I'll use a garment bag for the cold water wash. If the shirt doesn't make it, I'll update this post.)A suggestion: folks interested in buying these shirts might therefore want to try to filter the reviews so that they can see what customers who've purchased their target size *and* color are reporting about the fit of shirts of that combination. I suggest this because, having read some of the other reviews, it seems to me that some sizes/colors are too small while some others are too large. When sizing is uniformly off, a buyer an just 'size up' or 'size down.' Since these shirts seem to be too large in some colors and too small in others, buyers might therefore want to pinpoint those reviews that describe only their target size-and-color combo. Just a thought!

Order at least two full sizes larger than what the size chart suggests. If you want a shirt that remains slightly lose fitting after a wash or two, order the shirt three sizes larger. A dye fixer wasn't used in the manufacturer, so when washed, the dye will leach out lightening the color of the shirt and staining anything else nearby that isn't a similar color. It appears to be well made, but the sizing being so off the mark really left a bad impression on me. The description claims returns are free but they're not. The buyer pays return shipping.

This is a well made shirt. It is also a very cool design. Unlike many linen shirts, Short Fin is not a long shirt. It is made to be worn untucked. Great shirt!! I live in the Caribbean so linen is a favorite with me. They have many colors to choose from and two different fabrics, 100% linen and a 50-50 cotton linen blend. Both are really nice. The buttons are really cool too! Again, what really sets this shirt apart from all the others is the design and fit. The short tail is key. It’s a perfect shirt for me.I purchased another Short Fin shirt since I wrote the first review. Nothing has changed. It’s still the best linen shirt on Amazon. Btw, if this help s any prospective buyers, I am 5’10” and weigh 155 pounds. The large fits me perfectly.

Great shirt. Lightweight, semi-transparent, but slightly smaller than I am used to when ordering a Large casual shirt. I wear a 16 32/33 in a dress shirt, and this Large is about a fitted version of that. For the style, I would expect a slightly looser fit, so depending on your taste, you may want to opt for one size up.

I have ordered several of these Short Fin shirts. If they have Short Fin in the back of the shirt at the back. Then I think you will have a great shirt, fit, color, fabric all what I expected. I have received other shirts from Short Fin they are just terrible. The fabric, the size it way to small, the color is off. MY advice is that if you shirt is marked with Short Fin, then you have a great shirt, But if there is no brand label and the fabric dots not feel like linen, I would even open the shirt, just send it back.

Love the shirt. Need to get 1-2 sizes larger than what you might be accustomed to. Great colors. I like the 100% linen the best, but it costs a little more and is a little heavier weight. Also the linen shirt seems to be slightly larger than the others.

Good looking, well finished shirt. I had been warned about sizing and ordered one size larger, but it was still too tight across my chest. The return went smoothly, but you need to contact the shipper to receive a prepaid tag. I did not replace because there was not enough time to turn things around before our vacation. This shirt however, should not disappoint. Just be aware of sizing.

What I liked the least is that the shirt is not 100% linen as advertised, if the tag inside the shirt is to be believed. It is 44% cotton. However, it is a nice shirt, and the price was attractive, so I suppose I will keep them (I ordered navy and black ones). It is a pain to send things back, and costs something also..
