Perfect for casual or weekend wear whether working at home or relaxing
Size: XX-Large Tall, Color: Dusty Olive
Comfortable material. Durable, I ordered size 2xl tall and love that it’s a casual shirt that is long and even if I lift my arms up my belly isn’t exposed. Neckline isn’t too tight I usually prefer a v neck but this shirt is so big the neck doesn’t feel tight or constricting. Great value for its price. I will be wearing this at home and on the weekends for sure.

Classic look, great feel and great price.
Color: Black, Size: X-Large
Super comfy and casual, but classy enough that it can be worn out. I find this shirt extremely comfortable, it is a classic look and is very flattering. I wear a size 14 and the XL is loose but not baggy. It washes well, does not wrinkle if I get it out of the dryer and folded in appropriate time, and the material is a good weight for the cost of the shirt. I would likely buy again as this is a great summer staple.
