Got my shirts and ready to throw them straight in the garbage, because that's where they belong. The quality is just utter crap.
Right off the bat, a button came off and got lost, so I checked how they are sewn on - lots of loose threads, and not just on the buttons, but on the seams as well. The sizes are too big too. I normally wear a large and this shirt just hangs off of me, like it's a size too big.

I was surprised to read the negative review of this shirt. I bought one last month for my husband and the quality exceeds our expectations. The silk/cotton blend is very luxurious and not at all flimsy. The color (burnt orange) is very rich, and it laundered beautifully. The size is generous, but that's a sign of quality as far as I am concerned! The extra large fits like the XL's in casual shirts by high end designers (like the Ralph Lauren ones he wears), instead of the XL's from Penneys (where he needs a XXL). I just wish they had more colors still available!

same as i just said: Nice weave, nice shirt & I'm a Banana Republic snob.
it's a herring bone weave i think 60% silk and 40% cotton with a really nice earthy blue tone. I cut of the collar buttons which gave it less of an 80's look, but either way it's nice and I get compliments galore. cheers. - NW

$10 ? Shipped free. Anytime. As mentionned in other review, size is rather large. Has served me well so far, machine washed, no degradation of color or texture.

For the price (it was on sale at Amazon), it's actually quite a decent shirt. I quite like it. The only issue was that I ordered my "usual" size and it was WAAAY too large.
I would get it again if it were on sale and had the right size.
