My husband doesn't like to wear shirts under his dress shirts; however, he will have to with these. I ordered 2 whites and 1 tan. They are nice looking but very, very thin. The retail tags say $45. I'd be quite upset if I had paid that much! I guess for $9.99, they'll be okay. I didn't save a lot though cause now I have to buy some new t-shirts to wear underneath! If you don't have a white-collar job, these would be fine (at a reasonable price) for occassional wear. However, my husband has to wear them everyday, and I doubt they will hold up well since they are so thin.

I've had shirts custom tailored for me while overseas, often with fine, imported fabric. These shirts, stitched in Vietnam, rival the best custom shirts. The collars are extremely clean looking, and lay down well. The 'tonal diagonal' fabric has subtle darker pistripes every 1/16" and, every 3/4", a diagonal angled row of slightly raised, slightly lighter stitches. Hard to describe! But from mirror distance it is highly professional, not too showy look. Also comfortable looking, as well as to wear. I also like the long tail of the shirt to prevent pull outs. I am on line today to order several more of each. I prefer the tonal diagonal myselfbut presume that fabric and tailoring are of similar quality across the line.

(The French cuff variety if this shirt is a real bargain. I recently paid $80 for a similar shirt, and am not highly impressed with the fabric. The 60-40 blend makes the shirt relax a bit more than the all-cottons one I have. )

I ordered several designs of the Cacharel shirts and was very disappointed when they arrived because the fabric was extremely thin. I always wear a white undershirt, and that fact was very evident since one could literally see through the shirt.

These shirts are a bargain. But for this price, be warned that you are buying very light and thin shirts. I also had a problem with the shoulder seam and arm length. Compared to better quality shirts, the Cacharel seems longer than the stated size. I find that the 32/33 shoulder hangs lower than most of my 34/35's. It may just be me, but that's a oddity worth mentioning. While the quality is not the best, for this price, it's not a bad deal. Overall, I'm satisfied.

I think that it is a pretty nice shirt for 10 bucks. Something comparative at K&G would run between $15 and $20. It has a $45 tag on it, and I'm not sure about that - but for a good daily dress shirt I'll but 5 more of them.

If you are looking for fine wearing apparel let me give you a tip.
Cacharel is one of the top clothing manufactures in France.
My wife is from Paris France and I was a what you could call a clothing enthusiast(Freak) in my younger days by spending up to 30K a year on only the best clothing. Now that I am 57 and got away from the more finer apparel I am happy to have found these Cacharel men's dress shirts. At first I was a bit leery if these were in fact real Cacharel. Tonight I picked up my Amazon.com package containing my three dress shirt and open the box was was very happily to see that they were indeed Cacharel.

I open and tried one on to see how it looked. My wife said that it fitted great and she loves them.

Now I am going back to see what else I can find to buy of the Cacharel's.

Lol! don't worry if you did not believe this review as I do not wont to have them run out of stock before I buy as many as I can. ;)
