Please be warned: The following review entails an enchanted man-child getting excited over, of all things, a *shirt*. If you find this annoying or corny, I don’t blame you one bit and suggest one of the sensibly short reviews.

I have recently been given work at a facility as a dishwasher, so I need to wear short-sleeve shirts to wear under my uniform, the latter supplied at the restaurant.
I’m technically allowed to wear any design-free short-sleeve shirt including a t-shirt, but this place is special, the folk there have been good to me, and my job there is a new start. I want to wear attire that I feel does the restaurant justice, and also fits my long-suppressed aim to dress for the job I want instead of just the one I have.
Enter this short-sleeve collared button shirt. I had originally ordered this for economy, and I had been skeptical of the quality of an in-house Amazon-licensed button-shirt; and yet, it turns out to be something I’ve wanted for a long time in a formal shirt.
The shirt is durable, for one. This surprised me, honestly. Formal attire shirts, understandable, tend to be fairly prone to ripping and the like, and I’d been afraid of the same for this one. However, this shirt has held up to quite a few pulls and strains from unexpected new tasks under the new job, without so much as a loose string.
Secondly, the shirt fits loosely enough to allow the full range of motion that I need to be able to work effectively. This is another rare thing for formal work shirts, and thus yet another reason I am impressed and grateful.
Thirdly, the shirt is soft and smooth. Not pajama soft, of course, but I need to wear it for twelve hours at a time in a kitchen, not in bed. It’s soft and smooth enough to be comfortable to wear for that entire half-day shift. This is yet another rare thing for a work shirt, I find, and it makes the aforementioned durability that much more impressive, since in other shirts I’ve worn tenderness and durability are usually mutually exclusive.
Fourth, the shirt really does have a sharp, formal look to it in my opinion, at least from my perspective. If I ever were to be hired by, say, an office, or become a manager, I’d be all too happy to purchase more of these to wear there as well, as well as the one I already have and am reviewing presently.
Rounding this out is the fact I can wash this shirt with my other bleach whites is an added bonus- a particularly useful one, considering what I tend to contact during the job.

Altogether a very good work shirt. If I can save up for it, and/or the price drops, I may very well purchase more and avoid wearing t-shirts to work ever again.

This is not a slim shirt, it is for beer bellies. I needed a slim fit and this was not it.

will it shrink after wash?
Answer: I bought this for my husband and hang it up after I wash it. It hasn??t shrunk.
I like the shirt but noticed white strings coming out of seams of the shirt. Is this just left overs from production or will it effect the quality?
Answer: Cut them off with scissors so they dont get pulled.
How transparent is the white button down? Will a black undershirt show through?
