PROMISING REVIEW
"I have two - one that's my normal size (M) to wear absolutely everywhere, and one a size up (L) for when I want to wear when I wfh and wear only this. I tend to run on the warmer side and this keeps me cool in hotter temperatures and under multiple coats in the winter. It also "relaxes" the longer you wear it. I'm not sure how else to describe it, but if you wear a lot of linen you know what I mean!"

PROMISING REVIEW
"I just can’t speak highly enough about the cut of this shirt. It’s a classic, boxy and simple, in a lovely linen. It’s not too boxy either. I have this in three colors. Women have stopped me in department stores to ask me where I bought this shirt. The three buttons don’t gape, and it’s both a sporty yet classic design. Please bring more colors next summer!"

Crew's perfected weaving process since 1912, the relaxed-fitting top is incredibly soft, too.
