These shirts are light weight material and of decent, but not good quality. The price was very low, and so I am satisfied. Be aware, they tend to run a little large.
Good Work Shirt - Review written on March 22, 2008

I needed to find good looking shirts that I would not care that much about. I work as IT support for a company that requires a minimum of business casual. Well for a desk job that isn't that bad; but since I'm crawling on floors and dealing with dusty equipment, I didn't want to spend too much on shirts that will be ruined. These shirts have held up nicely.

I have had buttons pop off of each of my shirts at this point. It is annoying but I've been able to save all the buttons and resew them on. The buttons themselves are of good quality and the shirts are holding up nicely, it is just the stitching done to hold the buttons that seems awful.

For the price of $5 a shirt, I cannot complain and these shirts work well. They look nice but if I stain or damage the shirts I don't care and I need that for my job.

I recommend these polos for every day work use but for when you need to dress up get other shirts.

I ordered the cardinal shirt. I have had no difficulties with it. It has retained the color with washing (which I worried about). I typically wear either a large and extra large and the large fits nicely - so they might run a tad large - but not much. The shirts are very comfortable. I think they are soft. They seem to be well constructed - I haven't had buttons falling off like other reviewers complained about. For the price, I think it is an amazing deal and I'm ordering a few more.

This cotton shirt feels very rough, not a bit smooth & soft. I thought I'd take a chance at the price but it's going straight to the thrift shop.

This shirt shrunk to about 70% it's original length after washing in cold water.

Will not purchase again.

Nice color and stitching, no shrinkage when washed and dryed at all, no color fade. Really nice value for the price, awesome buy. I purchase a few of these Dawson and Brooks Polo's and I am very happy with the value they afforded. One thing I should note, you actually get the size you request, if you order an Xtra large, expect that size.

good woven quality WITHOUT the animal on the front; tagless; seems to get more comfortable with repeated washing

Great shirt that stands up to washing, drying and still looks great. I got a great deal on these shirts.
Adequate for the money, buttons fall off - Review written on January 29, 2008

I bought these shirts for my 13-year old sons to wear as school uniforms. They've held up well so far: stains wash out, they are still soft, and after 6 months still look decent.

EXCEPT ... it seems like the buttons just jumped off the shirts. I was able to rescue a few from the washer, but the kids just couldn't keep track of the buttons they lost in school. The top buttons didn't fall off as frequently, so I scavenged some of them to sew on. Since they don't button the top button, I figure it has something to do with using a button for the purpose it's meant to be used! Also, the stitching around the buttonhole is unraveling. As a mom, I notice these things. But if you are not as hard on clothing as teen boys, and pay attention to loose buttons, you will be pleased with these shirts for the cost.

3 stars, but only because of the price. I bought a few to have some professional looking shirts that I wouldn't care about if I messed them up. I should follow that with I wouldn't have cared if they got messed up over a period of time!
I wore one shirt twice without any problems, but after it went through the wash, the seam along the flap where the buttons are disappeared, leaving a hole nearly an inch long. I figured it would just be a cheap shirt, but I didn't expect it to fall apart after only wearing it twice. There's no reason for that. Even the cheapest of shirts usually last longer than that! I only wore it twice in an office setting!
I've worn the others the same amount, and they seem to be ok... so maybe I just got a dud. I'll get one more, and we'll see. At the price, recently dropped, it's a risk I'm willing to take again.

A very nice, well-made shirt that was a comfortable fit and right weight for fall weather.

My husband goes through these shirts like fecal material through a goose. I'm always trying to keep at least one NICE black shirt for him for dinners out and the like. If I'm not careful and don't hide at least one away, he uses all the polo shirts for yard work, golf, etc., and goes out in public with them, looking like someone should give him a donation out of pity.



Good (read: expensive) polos get the same treatment, so I figured this polo, which was on sale, was cheap enough to tuck away for "emergency" dinner out service. The other evening, when my husband's polos were all in the wash, I whipped this one out for him to put on.



You can probably tell from my description that my husband's not a clothes horse, and he usually doesn't comment on something as simple as a polo shirt - but this one, oddly enough, he really liked. No irritating tags around the collar; the material is soft, light, yet substantial. The tailoring is nicely done; no loose threads or pulls that you find too often in cheapie shirts.



The fit (an XL), surprisingly, was roomy (you usually figure a cheaper polo is going to cut corners somewhere.) My husband was very pleased (and even more so when I told him how inexpensive it was.)



I can't say yet how it washes, but even if it only makes it through a few wearings, I'm happy. And more importantly, so's my husband!
