What we liked: Sharp, tailored design and snug fit, Wide color and pattern selection, Easy returns and helpful customer service, Premium stretch fabric blend, Reads more formal than competitor performance shirts.
Worth knowing: Suit is dry-clean only, betraying the 'Jetsetter' promise, Only semi-wrinkle-resistant compared to Mizzen + Main and Bluffworks, Semi-stretchy fabric, less functional than direct competitors, $129 dress shirt matched by cheaper machine-washable rivals with better performance.
