Best shirts out there

  • By A Customer from Granger IN USA on Wednesday, January 04, 2012
  • Pros: Fabric fit and true to size
  • Cons: Poor sewing and lots of loose threads
  • Review: Best fabric and fit of any pilot shirt. Not first class construction as with all Van Heusen shirts but they work. Pockets are sewn level which is refreshing.

Nice shirt but epaulets too loose

  • By A Customer from Lakewood CO USA on Monday, March 18, 2013
  • Pros: Quality materials and good fit.
  • Cons: Epaulets loose due to button placement.
  • Review: Nice high quality shirt. After wearing it under leather jacket, epaulets would crease and look bad. Noticed the epaulets were loose and flopping off of the shoulders. I moved the buttons that secure the epaulets 1/2" closer to the collar and it fixed the problem.

This is the only pilot shirt I buy.

  • By A Customer from Parker CO USA on Monday, January 28, 2013
  • Pros: Wears well, long lasting.
  • Cons: Epaulet buttons not sewed on well enough.
  • Review: Reliable shirt over the years. Consistently good quality. Sometimes the epaulet buttons come off from wearing against the cockpit seat shoulder straps, so I have to sew them back on.

Not bad.

  • By Levon from Juneau AK USA on Monday, June 18, 2012
  • Review: It was what I ordered; a basic white uniform shirt that can display my epaulets. It fits well and looks appropriate. The only improvement I could wish for is a choice of tasteful off-white color options, Other than that, it is a white uniform shirt. There is something about a uniform that certain people are attracted to...

Great for Public Travel

  • By Smokey from Lake City FL USA on Thursday, March 08, 2012
  • Pros: Pressed, good look for company travel
  • Cons: Aviator shirt is better for hot, humid days,
  • Review: I use this shirt to travel on other airlines when good appearance is a necessity.
    It stays pressed for long periods and doesn't develope the "Worn Out" look of the Aviator shirt.

Good quality shirt

  • By A Customer from San Francisco CA USA on Wednesday, January 13, 2016
  • Pros: Good price for the product
  • Cons:
  • Review: Shirt quality is good for the price. Epaulets holder is sewed a bit forward instead of right on top of the shoulders. It feels like the Epaulet is falling forward, but this is a minor detail.

Buttons

  • By Steven from Tucson AZ USA on Thursday, June 04, 2015

Quality shirt but.....

  • By 30,000 hours (I NEED A LIFE!) from Occasionally on the ground on Tuesday, February 07, 2017
  • Pros: Quality shirt
  • Cons: ZERO reinforcement for wings
  • Review: Decent quality shirt for those of us who no longer can, um, wear even semi-tapered shirts. Only shortcoming: No reinforcement of any kind for wings. Geeze, folks, this is a PILOT shirt!

Good but not available tapered

  • By jeffrey from Charlotte NC USA on Wednesday, July 26, 2017
  • Pros: see above
  • Cons: see above
  • Review: Good overall quality. Tight pinpoint style stitching. Looks professional, esp starched. I have bought before. Only negative is the long sleeve variety is not available tapered so you will have to pay a tailor to alter.

Be a Commander!

  • By Capt. Todd from Harrisburg SD USA on Tuesday, October 13, 2009
  • Pros: Excellent construction and price
  • Cons:
  • Review: Sure, it's kind of dorky looking, but the Van Heusen Commander shirt is like other Van Heusen shirts--well made and well priced. For those of us who have to wear Civil Air Patrol uniforms, it is ideal.

Van Heusen quality is intact

  • By Doug from SAINT CLOUD FL USA on Tuesday, December 01, 2009
  • Pros: Good service by MyPilotStore. Consistant quality from VanHeusen.
  • Cons: The above problem with the epalet flap.
  • Review: My order was filled accurately and shipped promptly. As for the shirts, they are replacing the same Van Heusen shirts and the new ones are of the quality that I have come to expect from Van Heusen. However, the epalet tabs are not sewn flat to the shoulder, so initially they do not lay flat. If ironing them down it does not help. I will have to sew them down.

Really nice shirt

  • By Andrew from Pittsburgh PA USA on Monday, February 18, 2008
  • Pros: General fit and construction
  • Cons: Epaulet flaps much too large.
  • Review: I really like these Commander shirts, much better then what my airline supplier provides and at less cost. The only downside is that they do seem to wrinkle faster and the epaulet flaps are HUGE. You could put TWO four bar captains epaulets on each flap. Nice shirts though and I hope that they continue to sell them.

  • By A Customer from Skillman NJ USA on Monday, November 03, 2008
  • Pros: Professional
  • Cons: See through!
  • Review: Nice shirt, does its job. However, this shirt is very light, which means it is a little see through! Be sure to wear a tee shirt under this.

I will but this shirt again for my VFW Honor Guard

  • By Charles from Macungie PA USA on Wednesday, February 24, 2016
  • Review: The shirt is advertised as 'wash and wear.' While that is sort of true, it needs touch up ironing. Even using the most delicate setting on my dryer, there are some wrinkles.

Good Shirt

  • By A Customer from Ventura CA USA on Tuesday, January 17, 2017
  • Pros: Good cut. Nice material. Wears well
  • Cons: Epaulets are set a bit too far forward, but this is minor fault

  • By NRB from Blairsville PA USA on Monday, July 01, 2013
  • Pros: SATISFIED WITH QUALITY, PRICE AND DELIVERY
  • Cons: NOT SATISFIED WITH 1/2 SIZES WHEN ORDERING

    HOWEVER, WE WERE NOT SATISIFIED WITH THE SHIRT
    SIZES..SHIRTS COMES IN 1/2 SIZES, WHICH SOMETIMES
    TOO SMALL OR TOO LARGE. WOULD BE NICE IF THEY ALSO CAME
    IN EVEN SIZES...AS FAR AS QUALITY AND PRICE, WOULD
    BUY AGAIN AND RECOMMEND TO OTHERS......THIS REVIEW
    COVERS ALL THE SHIRTS (21 OF DIFFERENT SIZES) WE ORDERED.
