Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent dress shirt Comment: I think that I got a good quality dress shirt for a low value, the poplin is soft and it's wrinkle free, but with good ironing. Good business. Customer Rating: Summary: great shirt Comment: This is a great shirt for the price. Quality is pretty good, and as some reviewers pointed out its not so wrinkle free but i think it is. Customer Rating: Summary: 65% polyester not 40% - can do better Comment: I bought a few new shirts, here's what I found...
1 star: Van Heusen - cheap stitching, holes and buttons not aligned (65% polyester not 40%), still needs ironing
5 star: USPA - extremely well made (40% polyester) well sized neck, but HUGE American waist
5 star: Geoffrey Fitted - well made with many extras (34% polyester, 5% spandex), good fit but tight collar
5 star: Geoffrey Cool Dry - well made with most cotton (15% polyester) but a little scratchy
I wear white shirts with undershirts and a few colored shirts for without an undershirt. The Geoffrey fitted looks VERY good but I needed to buy an extra size larger for wearing an undershirt (and the right neck size) - so, I have a almond shirt the right size with a slightly tight neck and a couple white ones a size larger for with an undershirt. I also really like the Goeffrey cool dry - it's not so huge around the middle but big enough even for wearing an undershirt (which helps with the slight scrachiness, but I'll try 1/3 cup vineger in the wash, even though I have very hard water, and slow line drying in the laundry room for more cottony fluffiness) - I bought two (one french blue and one white). And, I like the little polo symbol on the USPA for a small break from just solid white shirts (but, it is very big) and a real bargin at the current price. The Van Heusen was cheap, overpriced, and not as advertised - don't buy (you can do much better with the any of the other three)!
Update two weeks later: A Consumer Reports article [...]suggested the Stafford Wrinkle Free (no longer available at Amazon) - it came out of the dryer without needing ironing unlike any of the four shirts above) - as long as it was taken right out (their [...] wrinkle free looks like a shirt from JC Penny, which it is, but I didn't try their [...] "performance" shirt, which looks nicer). Then, I found the Jos. A. Bank Traveler Tailored Fit Pinpoint Solid Buttondown Collar Dress Shirt for [...]. This is the shirt to end all shirts (and it's tailored!) - and, it doesn't even need to be taken right out of the dryer. The [...] more may be worth it for a serious road warrior (the [...] shipping is too high, though - better to find a local store as I did), but my overall favorite is still the Geoffrey Fitted (the USPA is a tent and I'm 30 pounds overweight)! Customer Rating: Summary: Nice Shirt Comment: The only reason we did not give this five stars is because we have other shirts that when removed from the dryer immediately, need no ironing. This shirt needs a touch up (maybe more than a touch up) with the iron. It's still a nice shirt.
