Not bad.
by Michael from Naperville IL USA 

Review: Pretty good. True to size. Wish it was a little more wrinkle-free, but better than most.

Tuesday, January 17, 2012
Great looking shirts.
by paul from mountain home AR USA 

Pros: In very words, Nice shirts.
Cons: Haven't found any yet.
Review: These are great looking and fitting shirts. I have two organizations that I need to have a white short sleeve shirt and by their regulations the shirts need epaulets. These shirts are very wearable and with a vertical crease on each side over the breast they give you a very sharp appearance. So well pleased, I will probably order the same shirt in a long sleeve this week.

Not bad but the Aviator is better!
by Richard from UK 

Pros: Thick material, sun glasses slot in left pocket
Cons: Creases too easy and doesn't iron too good, strange pockets for pilot shirt
Review: Firstly I wear these shirts for as part of an airline uniform in the uk. Been wearing these things for quite a while so know a thing or two about shirts.

In a nut shell, just buy the Van Heusen Aviator shirts instead, yes they have a lower cotton content but the material will iron and look better, lasting all day rather than creasing straight away.

The Commander pockets are strange also, where as the Aviator are normal with pen holder slot still.

Again you want a pro's shirt, just buy the Aviator!

When I need another shirt this one is the one I will be buying.
by Milan Wallace from Dawsonville GA USA 

Pros: fits right
Review: Wears good, long enough to stay tucked into pants.

Monday, October 03, 2011
Excellent quality and comfortable
by Danny from Suffolk, UK 

Pros: non-clingy, no crease
Cons: none
Review: I love these shirts because they are so comfortable, especially as I have to wear them for long periods flying long haul.

Although high cotton content, they do not crease and in hot and sticky climates, they don't cling when you sweat.

Monday, September 26, 2011
by Ashlee from Tyler TX USA 
Review: I use the shirts on the Africa Mercy hospital ship in Eastern Africa. Super to wash and keep presentable. The only small item is the inside back collar construction can cause a bit of a rub, but love them for all other aspects.

Tuesday, August 30, 2011
Totally Recommend
by ROBERT from BAY HEAD NJ USA 

Review: Excellent, beautifully made, crisp, white, professional in all respects.

Wednesday, August 24, 2011

I would buy this product again
by Clive from Redondo Beach CA USA 

Review: Great value for money!! Shirt quality is excellent.

Thursday, July 28, 2011
The quality has greatly deteriorated
by Rick from Charlotte NC USA 

Review: I have bought these same shirts in years past and they held up well. I recently purchased four shirts and within only a few months the collars have lost their shape, they show large areas of dimpling which indicates that the backing has separated and the collar seam on one has frayed because they sewed the seam too close to the edge of the fabric. I will not buy their products again because their construction is unsatisfactory.

Monday, July 11, 2011
More sizes needed
by Heli Jeff from Burbank CA USA 

Pros: fabric
Cons: sizes
Review: The fabric is nice, but the shirt is like a tent. They need sizes for guys whose shoulders are bigger than their waist.

Thursday, June 30, 2011
Being to thin is not always good
by Kevin from Village of Lakewood IL USA 

Pros: Very nice looking, and very comfortable
Cons: shouldn't have got that pocket design
Review: The material is to thin, and the it doesn't hold starch very well, so they get wrinkled fairly quick after I put them on. My pants also slide down because, the material is so silk. The pen slots on the pockets are to big and it makes it hard to get my cross pens in.

Friday, June 03, 2011

Can't beat it
by Simon from Fairbanks AK USA 

Review: Can't beat the quality for the price. Shipped quickly. Easy transaction.

Wednesday, April 27, 2011
Rough collar. Would not buy again
by A Customer from Dallas TX USA 

Cons: Collar way too stiff
Review: Collar is too stiff. Irritated my neck. Why someone can't make a descent high quality pilot shirt is beyond me.

Wednesday, April 13, 2011
Good utility shirt
by A Customer from charlotte NC USA 

Pros: Good price, cleans easily, actually white.
Cons: Rips at pocket edges.
Review: Good price, cleans easily, actually white.  Quality is ok. I added wing holes and patches to re-enforce the pockets on top. Useful "easy entry"  pocket on right side. Looks good overall.

Monday, April 04, 2011
I would buy this product again
by A Customer from Greenville SC USA 

Pros: Basically wrinkle free, fits true to size, easy to wear.
Cons: none
Review: The shirts are very nice, come out of the dryer with very little wrinkles. Product is made very good too.

Wednesday, March 23, 2011
Best for the money
by Joseg from Pembroke Pines FL USA 

Review: Excellent, it holds color and press for years

Wednesday, March 23, 2011
Van Heusing is a quality shirt
by Michelle from Beaconsfield QC Canada 

Review: Van heusing is still my favourite in terms of quality and fit, but they have recently changed their tailoring: the same size I usually order does not fit the same as my new order (new is slightly tighter). So, err on the size of larger.

Tuesday, March 22, 2011
by Barbara from Bloomington CA USA 
Review: Great shirts. Hand wash, and hang up, touch up on iron. Always looks very professional.

Wednesday, March 16, 2011
by A Customer from Cedar Hill TX USA 
Pros: Nice for price.
Cons: A little light.
Review: Nice shirt for price. I would pay more for a little heavier cloth.

Tuesday, January 04, 2011
Good shirt
by Ardis from Roseville CA USA 

Pros: thick material, seems well made
Cons: sleeve "cuffs" get twisted a bit
Review: Tall stiff collars, hang them straight out of the dryer and you're good to go. good shirt.

Tuesday, January 04, 2011
stiff collar
by brett from burnsville NC USA 

Pros: wrinkle resistant
Cons: low pockets and stiff fabric
Review: Collar chafed my neck even after a few washes with softner. It irons out nicely though. The pockets are ample but seem to be placed a little low on the shirt.

Saturday, January 01, 2011
As Advertised
by A Customer from Puerto Rico 

Pros: Durable, good fit, as described, good price
Cons: My employer's a deuschbag. But...the shirt fits great! ;)
Review: It got deserving reviews, is relatively wrinkle free, durable and cleans well. The price was right and shipping was fast. Thanks! Now if I could just find a pilot job that I can pay my credit card bill with...

Monday, September 27, 2010
by David from Wilmington OH USA 
Review: Great shirt but the arms are very big... had to have them taken in.

Monday, September 20, 2010
Great shirt, great deal
by Cary from Grapevine TX USA 

Review: I have been buying these shirts for 15 years. Great product and great price.

Tuesday, September 14, 2010
Short Sleeve Commanders Shirts
by Bill from Medina OH USA 

Pros: Value, with good permanant press shirt for $16
Cons: The shirt loses life, needing replacement every 18 months or so.
Review: I enjoy the easy access into the shirt pockets, open for glasses and pens, trip sheets, etc. without unbuttoning flaps. The Commander pocket flaps are cosmetic, but not functional. Other models of Van Heusen shirts have the working flap to cover and protect items if needed. The shirt is a standard size so I didn't have to return shirts to get Size 16 either altered or returned. Good product for the price, and delivery was in a couple of days. Thanks for the timely service.

Tuesday, September 07, 2010
I would buy this product again
by Phillip from Burnsville MN USA 

Pros: Great fitting, durable, professional looking.
Cons: Fabric at the top of the pocket tears easily.
Review: These Van Heusen Commander Shirts are great! They are durable, easy to clean and need little ironing. There is only one area I have a concern about and that is the top pocket corners. Beause of the heavy use pilots' shirt pockets get, the top pocket corners of the main part of the shirt have a tendency to tear out easily. There isn't any reinforcement on the back side of the fabric where the top of the pocket is sewn in. Consequently, the shirt tears easily. I have repaired every shirt that my pilot son has because of this tearing issue.

Commander pilot shirt (van heusen)
by A Customer from MN 

Review: Sturdy shirt that requires an inordinate amount of collar scrubbing compared to the others I've worn. The epaulets are a bit too long; it makes the shirt look awkward. Collar stains are seemingly permanent after three trips. The size large is designed for those that have a liver the size of a basketball. I should have ordered mediums.

Tuesday, August 24, 2010
How to look sharp
by Roger from Findlay OH USA 

Pros: High Quality
Cons: None
Review: Very good quality with this shirt. You want to look sharp. Go with Van Heusen line.

Wednesday, August 11, 2010
Nice for the money
by Rob from Port Orange Fl USA 

Pros: Open pockets, good material
Cons: Somewhat baggy
Review: They are somewhat baggy on the sides.. I am 5'8 180, I am not skinny by any means but these are somewhat baggy on the sides. I tried a tapered and I would bust the buttons. The quality is good and the open pockets is the greatest asset. I absolutely hate flap pockets.

Wednesday, August 04, 2010
These shirts are well made... just watch the color.
by Philip from Morristown NJ USA 

Pros: Well made and sturdy... wash well and the fabric repels stains.
Cons: Check color when they arrive.
Review: The five shirts I just bought were all a nice white but the last time some of them were more cream colored than white, which was unacceptable. So just make sure to check when you receive them that color is correct. Otherwise, these are fantastic shirts, they wear very well and look good too. Service is good at MyPilotStore as well.

Tuesday, August 03, 2010
by Phillip from Amherst Junction WI USA 
Review: I'm happy with them.

Sunday, July 18, 2010
Nice but the epaulets are too long
by James from Malibu CA USA 

Pros: Cloth, tailoring and it launders well
Cons: Epaulets too long for my taste
Review: Nice cloth and tailoring. It also launders like a dream. It came out of the dryer with almost no wrinkles and ready to wear. The only issue is that the epaulets seem to be too long for my taste. Otherwise a nice shirt for the price.

Thursday, July 08, 2010
I WOULD BUY THIS PRODUCT AGAIN

by Erick from Seattle WA USA

Cons: Little more wrinkle free...
Review: It met expectations well above...

Wednesday, May 12, 2010
Great Value.
by A Customer from Colorado Springs CO USA 

Pros: The pocket looks like it is buttoned down, but it's open for easy access.
Cons: The epalets are a bit too long, they poof when they are buttoned.
Review: I needed a good quality shirt for a great price (First Officers don't make that much money). This shirt really fit the bill. This is my second time buying them (due to coffee and ink stains, not because they wore out) and I would highly recommend them to friends.

Tuesday, May 04, 2010
I like this shirt
by Randel from Clearfield UT USA 

Pros: Good fit and looks good
Cons: Needs a reinforcement patch for the wings
Review: I like the shirt, but I would like it if it had a reinforcement patch or something for the place you put your wings. Otherwise the wings studs tear holes in the shirt after a short period of time.

Monday, April 26, 2010
The Shirt I look for, out of the Bunch before a tour
by PETE from Naperville IL USA 

Pros: Dries fast overnight and irons easy too( If you run out of shirts and need to wash em in sink)
Cons: threads somtimes needs trimming off the pockets
Review: I have used these shirts over the years as a DC8 Captain and now in the Fractional world. I find them to wear well and I love the comfort too. I like the feel of the fabric as to those made with 100% cotton which feel stiffer to me. I wish our company store would stock them.

Monday, April 26, 2010
by John from Naperville IL USA 
Review: So much better than the standard shirts at Southwest.

Monday, April 26, 2010
by Robert from Saint Charles IL USA 
Review: eppalets seems a little long.  They rise off shoulder.

Thursday, April 01, 2010
Excellent
by Rajai from Naperville IL USA 

Review: I would only preferred the pockets with the flaps covering them so things would not fall out otherwise it is excellent

Thursday, March 25, 2010
A good buy
by A Customer from Burnsville MN USA 

Pros: Comfort, features, length of tails, price
Review: Nicely made shirt. Good tailoring. So far, the wearability is good as well. I like the longer tails - they don't come untucked as often.

Monday, March 01, 2010
I would buy this product again
by Isabel from Charlestown MA USA 

Pros: well designed... good material
Cons: don't like the pockets how they aren't lapelled
Review: It is a very good looking shirt... good material and well designed...

Saturday, January 30, 2010
I will buy again.
by David (Southwest Airlines) from McKinney TX USA 

Pros: Wrinkle and stain resistant
Cons: Would like in a tapered cut
Review: The Van Heusen Commander Shirts are the best. Wrinkle Resistant and stain resistant. What else can you ask for when on the road!

Monday, January 18, 2010
Smooth operator
by Matthew from Sterling Heights MI USA 

Pros: Everything
Cons: Really no cons to report
Review: It was smooth where it needed to be and stiff on the collar where I wanted! No need to iron or starch the collars. I will certinaly buy a few more of them.

Wednesday, January 13, 2010
Great Value
by Thomas from Flower Mound TX USA 

Pros: Material ,construction,tailoring,cost
Cons: excessive material around waist
Review: I've been buying Van Huesen shirts for over 15 years. They never disappoint. Great quality work shirts at a reasonable price point. Tailoring and quality of construction is evident and the only thing that bothers me in the least is the fact that the shirts are a bit excessive in the middle. I guess the larger guys appreciate it but tends to leave excess material there for me.

Saturday, January 02, 2010
by Donald from WALLA WALLA WA USA 
Review: I wear this shirt in Civil Air Patrol. My shirt pockets are usually empty in order to present a neat, trim appearance. Recommend the top of each pocket flap be sewn down.

Saturday, December 12, 2009
I like 'em
by A Customer from Overgaard AZ USA 

Pros: Open top shirt pockets, Heavy material
Review: Met expectations. Of course I already new what to expect since I've been buying these shirts for 2 years. Airline pilot for 18 years. This is the only type workshirt I buy anymore and I've tried a lot of different ones.

Wednesday, November 04, 2009
Excellent quality
by Susanne from Fort Lauderdale FL USA 

Review: Great quality and pricing, waiting to see if he needs more that aren't embroidered with company logo. If not, will buy more of these.

Tuesday, November 03, 2009
Super-stiff Collar
by Scott from Mansfield TX USA 

Cons: Collar too stiff
Review: Overall the quality of the shirt was fine, but after multiple washings the collar is still extremely stiff and can lead to rashes on the neck.

Tuesday, October 27, 2009
Good shirt with 2 slight problems
by Jon from Jupiter FL USA 

Pros: nice collar, cool, irons well
Cons: too much material at the waist, eplets stand up too high
Review: I particularly like this shirt because it irons well has a substantial collar and is cool due to the higher level of cotton. The only problems I have with it is that the eplets are a bit longer than the distance to the button which makes them stand up a bit and the shirt needs a little bit of a taper to the waist.

Monday, October 19, 2009
Just what I wanted
by Airraid from Miami FL USA 

Pros: Nice Fabric, sharp looking collar.
Cons: Cuffs on the sleeves?
Review: Overall very pleased. In the left pocket I carry two pens and clip-on sunglasses. I found the pen holder dividing stitches in the wrong place (for me), so I undid the stitches to make it one large pocket. you can't tell. Now the shirt is perfect for me.

Thursday, September 10, 2009
Great ! Thanks !
by david from katy TX USA 

Pros: Love The Fit !
Cons: None
Review: Fits JUST Right !

Thursday, August 27, 2009
Excellent Shirt
by Allen from Seattle WA USA 

Pros: The pockets alllow quick acess. Why don't other shirtmakers emulate this?
Cons: The pencil pocket is a waste and unnecessary. Besides, it is too small and on the wrong side of the pocket.
Review: This is an excellet shirt, and I will buy it again.

Tuesday, July 21, 2009
I would try this product again.
by Stanley from South Duxbury VT USA 

Pros: wrinkle free
Cons: Collar became deformed after a few washings
Review: Holds its form very well even when packed for a few days in a carry on case.

Wednesday, July 15, 2009
I would buy this product again
by Robert from Malvern PA USA 

Pros: Looks professional, has the best pocket features, best quality of materials
Cons: needs a slight upgrade in fabric
Review: This shirt is the best over all pilot shirt out there.

Monday, July 06, 2009
Love wrinkle free
by Marc from Charlotte NC USA 

Pros: No ironing.
Cons: Fits too big.
Review: The wrinkle free material is wonderful and makes life on the road much easier. However, it fits like a tent. The draw back of Van Heusen has always been either fat or skinny with no in between. Makes this shirt for a normal sized man and they have my business for the rest of my career.

Wednesday, June 17, 2009
great shirt and great price
by david from Ocean Isle Beach NC USA 

Review: This shirt is used as our Marine Corps League Detachment 1005 in Shallotte NC. Great but I ordered two and did not try them on before sewing on uniform patches and they are too small. I will return one for exchange one size larger (16). Apparentlly, I have grown since enlisting in the USMC 40 years ago.

long sleeve problems
by layne from valencia CA USA 

Review: This product is fine as I order for my entire flight dept.  Why can't we get long sleeve shirts in both even and half sizes..lrico

Best aviation/work shirt that I have purchased
by ROBERT from CHINA GROVE NC USA 

Review: Heavy material.. Feels and fits like a expensive shirt... Is stain resistant Love these shirts

Friday, June 05, 2009
I might buy again
by Rob from New Smyrna Beach FL USA 

Pros: No pocket flaps
Cons: too heavy and hot, and not fitted
Review: The shirt is not fitted good like the Aviator and the color is really off white compared to the Aviator... I would buy Aviators if the pockets did not have those Damn flaps. That's only reason to buy the Commander, no flaps to contend with.

Monday, June 01, 2009
good old commander
by Marko from Rutherford NJ USA 

Review: Commander is great shirt I wear it with great pleasure. However it seems to me that tailoring used to be a bit tighter. For example I ordered now just a half number bigger shirt and collar is perfect fit but shirt is almost two numbers as wide....This should be considered when purchasing.

Wednesday, May 13, 2009
Excellent quality - stainproofing is a savior!
by Mark from Md USA 

Pros: Cotton/Poly blend percentages. Stainproofing.
Cons: Righthand pocket no longer has a pen pocket sewn in. As a lefty I miss my righthand pen pocket - my first set of COmmander shirts had it, but two subsequent sets have not had it.
Review: These are very high quality shirts. I have used the Aviator line of shirts for years as well as several other company shirts and the Commander is the best I've seen yet. It has enough cotton to iron & starch very well but still be pretty wrinkle resistant. In addition the fabric is treated with a stain repellent that has saved me numerous times. Once I spilled Crystal Lite on my shirt and it just beaded up. My hand was stained but the shirt was not. For those of us that have to each at the controls, spills/splashes are inevitable. Rain beads up on it too.

Tuesday, May 12, 2009
Excellent product with a few caveats.
by Robert from Oklahoma City OK USA 

Pros: Great fit, long-lasting, and I really like the open-top pocket style.
Cons: Some bubbling on the collar after just a few washings, the trim on the short sleeves needs to be tacked down more securely - I keep catching it on objects.
Review: Van Huesen Commander shirts are great - I like them with a few reservations.

Monday, April 13, 2009
It is an excellent altrnative wearing even for not an navy officer
by Dr. Sherman Yen from Owings Mills MD USA 

Pros: comfortable, and easy to wear
Cons: none
Review: As a world traveler who travel different countries for given lectures and conference, I truly enjoy to wear the shirts even as a civilian. They are comfortable and appropriate for all occasions of course with the exception of formal dinner night. I recommend highly for the shirts. Dr.Sherman Yen

Good Shirts
by RICHARD from MIAMI FL USA 

Pros: Phony flaps instead of real ones make pockets more usable for storage
Review: These are very good shirts but not 100% cotton. Since I fly in Florida I would love to finds shirts like this but 100% cotton and wrinkle free. This would make summer flying in non-air conditioned cockpits a bit more bearable.

Friday, August 01, 2008
Beware of new cut
by Ian the 1900 pilot from Peoria AZ USA 

Pros: Stain and wrinkle resistant
Cons: New cut is not as fitted
Review: I was disappointed that the cut of this shirt has been changed since the last time I bought them. The fit is baggier and the sleeves longer. These are not good things if you are a skinny guy like me.

Friday, July 18, 2008
by AL from Payson AZ USA 
Review: I'd rate the shirts a 4 or 5, after my semstress made some alterations they fit well. Over all good quality.  AL

Thursday, July 10, 2008
great shirt, inconsistent color
by Nooorm from SPI 

Pros: pocket style, wrinkle free
Cons: inconsistent color
Review: Good quality, rarely needs ironing. a few collar bubble-ups require extra ironing. I love the pocket design. sometimes the color is beige; sometimes it's bright white.

Wednesday, June 18, 2008
The Comander shirt
by Ronald from Mount Joy PA USA 

Pros: Thickness of the material.
Cons: Sleeves too short and don't like the cuff
Review: The sleeves are too short (makes the shirt look too small for me) and I don't particularly like the cuff on the sleeve. The cuff keeps rolling up and I'm constantly straightening them out. I guess I didn't realize they were cuffed before I bought them.

Monday, June 16, 2008
It exceeded my expectations
by A Customer from Miami FL USA 

Pros: roomy and quite cool because of the 60% cotton
Review: Had I known it was so roomy (which I like) I would have gotten a half size smaller, all in all I love these shirts I have since bought four more of them.

Wednesday, June 04, 2008
by Randel from Clearfield UT USA 
Review: I would buy this product again.

Thursday, May 22, 2008
only pilot shirt I'll buy
by A Customer from USA 

Review: This is the best pilot shirt I have ever worn. It's the only one I will buy now. Mypilotstore.com is easy to deal w/ to boot.

I love this shirt and your service was awesome
by Captain Raymond from Toms River NJ USA 

Review: Great shirt.

Monday, April 21, 2008
I only buy this shirt for my uniforms!
by Erich from Bryn Mawr PA USA 

Review: This shirt always fits well and is very comfortable. It is also very difficult to find good quality shirts with a talored look and feel.

Tuesday, April 15, 2008
My favorite of all shirt designs
by Daniel from SAINT AUGUSTINE FL USA 

Pros: The open pockets (fake flaps) make this easy to use
Cons: I have had a few collars "bubble up" and need extra ironing
Review: The quality of construction, wrinkle resistance, and pocket features make this shirt my favorite. I can usually wash and wear without ironing, especially if shirts are removed from dryer before it shut off.

Thursday, April 10, 2008
Shirt Irregular
by Joseph from Indianapolis IN USA 

Pros: Delivery was promt
Cons: Poor quality on one shirt.
Review: 4 out of the 5 shirts were good. On one of the shirts the left arm is smaller than any of the others. It is tight on my arm and can't wear it. I need to return it, but have been too busy to get around to it.

Premier shirt for the professional pilot
by Al from Larkspur CO USA 

Pros: Top quality construction with a wrinkle resistant combination of Cotton and Polyester
Cons: Straight Cut only - Tapered shirt not an available option
Review: This is a great shirt that I have used for many years. The cotton polyester blend is comfortable and resists wrinkling. The open-top pocket design is perfect for quick access to your sunglasses or your flight schedule. The construction is top notch.

Saturday, February 23, 2008
Why not all-cotton
by A Customer from Baltimore, MD 

Pros: Look fine.
Cons: Polyester!
Review: Good styling, polyester content is too high, either all-cotton or 80/20 would be a big improvement. Polyester makes shirts too warm in summer.

Tuesday, February 19, 2008
Very good shirt
by PAT from SYDNEY NSW Australia 

Review: Excellent product, good material, fits good and looks good. Definitely the right shirt to buy.

Quality Shirt
by Philip from Morristown NJ USA 

Pros: Quality, buttons, design, long tails.
Cons: Color!
Review: Loved the shirt and loved the MyPilotStore service. The only issue I have with this shirt is the inconsistant color! Some shirts are cream/beige color and some are a nice white. Kinda wierd but you really can't tell the difference unless they are next to each other.

Only shirt I ever buy.

Review: This shirt is durable, easy to clean, and easy to iron. It's the only shirt I ever buy for work.

This shirt is great, yes. But, you can get it anywhere. What you can't get everywhere is the speedy service mypilotstore.com gives you. Also, I've found that they carry this item for the cheapest price online.

I have recomended this product to coworkers.
by Ron from AK USA 

Review: The shirts are more than what I had expected. I really like the cheater front pockets with the opening at the top without having to unbutton the shirt pocket to get into the pocket. It sure makes it easy to remove and replace my pocket calculator with out having to unutton my shirt pocket and yet with the button on the outside still looks professional.

Graet Shirt
by A Customer from USA

Improved? Product
by Sleeper from Plymouth, MA 

Pros: Good quality
Cons: Stain Treatment
Review: I recently purchased two Commander pilot shirts. I've had a positive experience with Van Heusen pilot shirts in the past, so I had no reason to be concerned with this purchase. However, as I unwrapped them, I noticed they did not appear as white as older Van Heusens in my closet. Then, when I washed them, I noticed the water beading up on the shirt and when I ironed them the spray starch did the same.

I contacted Van Heusen and they confirmed that the shirts are now treated with a stain repellant and offered to replace them. Since all the shirts have the same treatment, replacement would not solve the problem. I'm just gong to wash the heck out of them and hope the treatment fades with time and I can get them white.

Great Shirts
by A Customer from CVG 

Review: I would buy these shirts again. They are very comfortable after a couple of washes. At first, they do rub your neck raw a little, but otherwise, they are great shirts. They hold starch well and stay wrinkle free longer throughout the day than other aviator shirts.

Exactly what I was looking for!
by Wayne from Washington, DC 

Pros: Price. Convenience. Delivered quickly.
Cons: None
Review: Great shirt. Fit perfectly. Takes starch well. It is exactly what I was looking for when I searched the internet. I had looked through many sites and stores for an epaulette shirt. This was also priced well below other similar shirts that did not meet 100% of my expectations.

Good Quality
by Tim from Atlanta, GA 

Review: I used to buying the polyester/cotton mixed shirt, and the problem for the tetron fabric turns their color yellow after several wash. However, I love this van heusen shirt I bought that stays white. The fabric is much better, it is uncomparison for the dollar to quality. Good Uniform shirt! Tim.

Best out there
