"Excellent quality material and fit. A very comfortable and versatile overshirt."
"No llegó completo! Solo llegaron tres de cuatro prendas compradas y ni Como reclamar! Esta app de SHOP no es buena, no la recomiendo."
"Lovely soft feel; and it's great as an overshirt for Autumn"
"I love this work shirt! The cut and material is wonderful and the Paul James quality is apparent as usual. I will wear this over a t-shirt I reckon and expect favourable comments from friends."
"I bought this in dark green and I am very pleased with it. The colour is rich, understated and easy to wear, and the fabric feels substantial without being heavy. It has the look of a smart overshirt but the comfort of knitwear, which makes it very versatile. The quality feels excellent for the price. The knit has good structure, the buttons feel premium, and the pockets give it a useful relaxed style without making it look too casual. It works well over a T shirt and looks best worn open or partly buttoned. Fit wise, I would say it is true to size but slightly neat when fully buttoned, especially if you are between sizes or prefer a looser fit. For me, that is fine because I mainly bought it as a layering piece rather than as a fully buttoned shirt. Overall, it feels like a well made, practical and stylish piece that should get a lot of wear. A very good buy and beautifully packaged in a cotton drawstring bag."
"Grea! “work shirt/jacket”. Can dress it up or down, and very comfortable. Fits perfectly."
