I've worn these for yonks and I love them in the woods and around camp; but beware of the sizing as their L is a 39, which is a 15 or 15 1/2 in UK shirt sizes and that's not large at all.......Other than that they're great value, comfortable and last very well....................

Great shirts and excellent value for money.

I have a couple and have to agree the sizing is a little on the small side

I really like these shirts, very hard wearing. I use them for my job as a gardener and they put up with all kinds of abuse. They are very well priced too. I bought both new and used ones. The new ones soon got a more vintage look after a couple of washes. If and when you do have to retire one, they make good char cloth too.

The size (eg. 39) is your neck circumference in cms. But, men in the 50s were smaller and shorter per size than we are today, that's why the sleeves and body is to short. Really good shirt though.
