So I went out and tried it on.
First, the fit of the body. It’s perfect. It’s similar to an Express 1mx FITTED (not modern fit) so it’s real good and close at the sides. But unlike Express 1mx, which is strangely short in the arms, the sleeves on the target shirt are a perfect length. The fabric is decent quality and far from thin. This ain’t a see-through JC Penny Special. The collar leans a little more towards a traditional point, but I’d still consider it semi spread, and the buttons… they’re surprisingly thick.
The shirt tail is much longer than the Express 1mx, so wearing it untucked is out, but so what? If you need an oxford that you can wear with everything from a suit to dark jeans and a casual blazer, then why spend more than $20.00 when you could have one of these?
I was sold. Literally. I purchased a white one and look forward to when they have a lighter blue shade available.
I am in the market for a good white shirt.
All my express shirts have SHRUNKEN. What a waste of money.
Really? I’ve never had a problem with mine. Cold wash, short cycle, don’t dry the living hell out of them?
aw man, they’re sold out of the white L’s. but i just ordered three of the other colors… thanks for the tip.
I have been to 2 nearby Targets, and they do not seem to carry this in stores anymore. They now have this Merona “Ultimate” Dress Shirt, which I have tried and is anything but Ultimate, in my opinion.
Quick question. Are these the same as the Ultimate Dress Shirt that Target offers? I can’t seem to find the Fitted Dress Merona and being on a very tight budget, this would be a tremendous help. Also, are these Oxford’s 100% cotton or is it a 60% cotton 40% percent blend? Any help on the subject would be truly grateful. Thank you in advance.
