Hickory Stripe Long Sleeve Button Logger Shirt

Well made , durable , well liked

For size reference I am 6'4", 205#, 45" chest, 38/40" waist and 37" sleeve length. I ordered a size XL Tall. The shirt is relaxed fit and it fits me perfectly. I did not have to shrink this shirt as some have commented. The shirt was made in China. Four of the front buttons had very loose stitching. I asked my wife if she would put extra stitches in those buttons as I have arthritis in my wrists and hands. I gave the shirt five stars because it is a well made, quality shirt. I washed this shirt in cold water. I used about a half cap of regular liquid laundry soap and about three quarters cap of fabric softener. I put the shirt in a clothes dryer (no heat) only air dry for about 30 minutes to get rid of some of the wrinkles. I then hung the shirt to air dry. Surprisingly, I did not have to iron this shirt at all. It was virtually wrinkle free. I learned this technique about 60 years ago with the Wrangler rigid jeans and rigid denim shirts. Again, it's a nice shirt that I enjoy wearing. I have never had any issues with Key Apparel. They process and ship quickly and sell quality clothing.

Greatest shirts ever made it’s all I own and wear year round

Love, Love, Love this shirt! I've been searching high and low for a stylish and sturdy Hickory Stripe shirt and I think I've found it! First off is the fabric. The colors are vibrant, with a substantial hand and comfortable suppleness, despite also clearly being tough and heavy duty. No doubt this can take abuse! Also clear that this fabric is made on old school looms that impart a subtle character here and there that you just don't get with modern looms. Takes and iron well and stays looking good throughout the day. I have another hickory stripe shirt which was USA made and sewn by prisoners in Oregon (Google it if you want the brand name), but the stripes on that piece look low contrast and washed out in comparison, plus its stiff as a board even after several washes. The Key fabric however is so much better in every respect. Grade A++ Second, the tailoring is pretty darn clean with very few stay threads and nicely done buttonholes. While no one is going to mistake this for an Iron Heart shirt, I would say the stitchwork and general sewing is more than acceptable at this price point. Super dark blue (perhaps black) are a great esthetic choice. Grade: A Lastly the fit is true to size, but only judge after washing. I am 5'8", 176 lbs and typically like a more fitted look in my clothes. I ordered my typical medium and out of the package it seems kinda large, so I washed on high heat and followed in the dryer at high heat. Boy did it shrink! In fact, I almost went too far in the shrinkage that I had to steam iron it and kinda pull on the sleeves to stretch it a bit. The fit now is exactly what I was looking for. So, what I recommend is buying your normal shirt size, try it on unwashed, and then shrink to fit in steps if needed. So maybe start with warm water wash, hang dry and try it on. Can always up the water temp and/or use the dryer using progressively higher heat until you reach your sizing goal. All this sounds complicated, but it's really not, and once you find your fit, I recommend washing only in cold and hang drying to maintain perfection. In all fairness, this is described well on the Key Apparel website, and I actually like the fact you can achieve a perfect custom fit. Fit Grade A-. Subjective value opinion: So yeah, I love a lot about this shirt. Now if you're wondering why I'm taking off a star, its simply because these are no longer made in the USA. Look, I get it, the shirt would be significantly higher in cost if made here, but to me this is part of being a heritage style apparel company that's been around for over 100 years. And yeah, the price point right now is really great for what you're getting! Like really good! But I wear American Heritage style clothing because want to fully celebrate that heritage and having these made elsewhere really hurts though still an overall recommend for me. Overall Grade B+/A- Thanks for reading

Very durable work shirt. It is heavier than I expected.

$40 for a shirt? Absolutely worth it. I just bought 3 of them to replace shirts I got 20 years ago. I wore them almost every day as an Ironworker, welding, cool in the summer, a good winter layer. These are the best.

These shirts are terrific! I ordered one for me and one for each of my two brothers. The shirts are robust, well styled for function, heavy duty. I'm very impressed with the care used in cutting and assembling the shirts. Based on several comments on your web pages I wasn't quite sure if the size would be too large or too small. After one washing I think they will be about the right size. That's all good news and thank you for the prompt shipment.

Sizes are really big and baggy if you want an extra large order a large

This shirt is fantastic. It is very well-made, of a somewhat heavy cotton cloth. The sizing runs large, so plan accordingly. I couldn't be happier with it. It has attracted compliments from several ladies!

I love the feel and look just don't understand why the top button for my neck is to tight to close. But other than that it's worth every penny.

Wow it feels nice and looks great. The only issue I have is the collar was too tight and I have an average neck size, so I'll have to wear it with it not buttoned at the collar.

Well, it reminded me of the days when I had to wash my denim jeans 3-4 times to take out the stiffness. Not being a girlyman, I don’t use fabric softener, but finally had neighbor’s wife give me a cupfull to use on it. That worked. Wore it to Tractor Supply today after doing morning chores in it. I got so many looks & comments, especially from the women! Who knew it’d be a chickmagnet!?? This shirt’s gonna last me a while becuz it’s built like lightweight body armor, which is a goid thing going up against barb wire fences, cactus, sagebrush & the like. Yup. Gotta get me a nuther one! It’s alm cotton so gonna go one size up in case some darn fool fergits to set the washing machine temp on cold…. Yeah, ‘twas me!. But also I can wear a heavy thermal under it for those cool mountain desert mornings. Definitely recomnended.
