Izod always made an excellent polo short sleeved short; and this one is still no exception to the rule! The stitching is far above average--it's very well done. The shirt is great for both "sporty casual" events with a men's blazer; and it's great for everyday sharp dressing for us gents!

Amazon correctly notes that the stitching is particularly fine at the cuffs and neck. This is completely true. This shirt is made to last years with the proper care. It is 100% cotton so you'll either have to iron it after the wash and dry cycle--or you may prefer to take the shirt to the cleaners instead.

The Izod crest gives the shirt an extra "smart" look; instead of the alligator we now get an Izod crest logo. The side slits help to make the shirt a little easier to move around in while you wear it.

However, there's an issue with the sizing of this garment. Sure, I take a men's large shirt--but with Izod I usually take an extra large. If you are unsure about what size you truly need, either measure carefully before using the charts above this review OR go to a store where someone can help you decide (by measuring) which size is best for you. I personally find these shirts to be cut a tad smaller than some other manufacturers cut their shirts.

The shirts also come in a wide variety of colors; and I like that. They also come in sizes small to XX-Large; and this is good for us big and tall guys out there!

Overall, this is one fine sporty, snazzy shirt from Izod. The shirts may cost a little more than what you'd get at a discount department store; but these shirts are worth every penny you pay for them. I highly recommend these fine shirts.
