Great Shirt! Sizing accurate, great fabric, comfortable......
Great shirt! I'd been searching for linen/cotton shirts (and other natural fibers) to keep cool on these hot summer days. I also love the old-school look of this shirt.I had concerns about sizing, because Chinese and US sizing can be quite different, and sometimes, if you're larger, you might have to order a XXXL or XXXXXL. In this case, the measurements given (and the manufacturer's US based sizing) are very good. Since I normally fall on the larger end of a US Medium, I went with a Large. Size is PERFECT-- the tiniest bit big BEFORE WASHING, just like I'd hope for, since I expect this shirt will shrink slightly.The fabric is very nice to the touch, soft and cool on the skin, yet substantial feeling. The style is very cool; the shirt is long sleeved, and can be worn that way, but also has little button-down tabs, so you can roll up the sleeves (about 5 rolls brings the cuff right above my elbow and into the range of the tab, where it can be buttoned in place) and convert it into short-sleeve (as seen in the main picture). The banded collar and henley button up complete the look. The "army green", however, is actually more like it appeared on my screen (so I'm happier): more of a rich spring green, hardly drab at all. And the linen-cotton blend is nice and breezy, even in hot weather.My only problem now is deciding what color to get next.

Solid but thick
It is alot thicker than I thought it would be for linen. Good material, fits well but could be a problem for a hot day at the faire.

Big fan, knowing what to expect
I have several of these now. I started out with the beige (which is by far the best color, in my opinion) before grabbing up a few other colors. The fit works for my body-style really well. I'm 6', 160 lbs. I usually wear slim-fit clothes, but this is a departure from that fit. This is NOT a slim-fit item. That being said, it isn't baggy or bulky--I would describe the fit as more of a "relaxed" one, to use terminology from other clothes. Length-wise, it ends just below the waist on me (mid-zipper to top of pockets, making it shorter than dress shirts that are meant to be tucked in). I usually wear it untucked because the relaxed fit makes it look weird and bulbous when tucked in and the length makes it want to come untucked with normal body-movement.It is not particularly soft right out of the packaging, but with a little wear and some washing, it softens up terrifically. Do NOT dry this. Let it hang dry. It'll shrink up in a heartbeat if you dry it and become unbearable.There is no stretch to this shirt, but I don't think it is really meant to do that and it isn't a problem for me.The sleeves are a bit on the narrower side, so if you have larger arms (as mentioned by another reviewer) you might have some trouble with them. I have perfectly average arms, so the fit of the sleeves works really well for me.It can be a bit crinkly and/or wrinkly straight off the drying rack, but that goes away pretty quickly with a bit of wear, especially in more humid climates.I prefer to style these with slim-fit pants, which pairs with the more relaxed fit really well. It makes the bit of extra room intentional and stylish. More relaxed-fitting pants COULD potentially look sloppy.All of that being said, I find these shirts really versatile, too. I can wear them with shorts or jeans for a more casual look or pair them with some chinos for something less-casual (they don't really reach into formal-wear, though). I'll even throw a sportcoat on with the chinos and it absolutely works for business-casual.

Looks really nice, washes well and doesn't get all weird when you dry it
I went through a few different linen-style shirts like this and found that of the three that I tried, this one was by far the best. It's well made and breathable, it washes really nicely, and when you dry it, unlike the other two, the edges don't get all wonky and need to be ironed out. This thing is ready so long as you pull it out of the dryer and hang it before it wrinkles (it will wrinkle if you forget about it). Dried it on low heat as I do everything—no shrinkage or weird material distortion, seams held together great so far and buttons seem to be on there pretty sturdy.The shirt itself isn't quite as tapered as the image presents it to be, so if you'd like a tapered look more akin to the pic, I'd recommend either having a tailor work on it (which would be pretty cheap) or look for something with a different pattern for that V-shaped taper.Worked fine for me since I literally just wanted an oversized men's shirt to walk around my apartment in. Idk why, it's just comfy haha.The material IS a bit rough, but that's normal for these linen type shirts. If it gets softer after a few more washes and use I will update my review accordingly.Fair price, well made, washes well, material appears to be quality fabric, and no weird shrinkage (I have NOT tested high heat drying and would not recommend that for anything besides heavy materials like rugs, anyhow)Protip: high heat destroys synthetic fabrics and can be hard on natural fibers as well, so if you ALWAYS dry your stuff on low heat, it will last 1000x longer and stay very soft—that goes doubly for those ultra soft microfiber blankets. I spent years drying on high heat because it was fast. Ever since I stopped and do almost exclusively low heat, save for things like rugs and towels, I've barely had to get rid of ANY clothes over the last 10 years, including a lot of my cheap garbage fast-fashion stuff from H&M that I bought before I knew they were literally slave drivers. Low heat or no heat only!

Accurate size, nice cut, strong material
I am always very nervous when I order some clothing from Amazon, more often than not it’s a disappointment. But after looking for a shirt with this style locally and failing to find one, I broke down and bought this one. I am very impressed with the fit, and the quality of the fabric. It looks good under a blazer, or just all wrinkled and rolled up & worn with a pair of shorts on the beach. A great travel shirt as well as a going out shirt
