Lands’ End Canvas Shirt Sale – $16.99 & your thoughts?

Lands’ End Canvas Heritage Poplin Shirt – $16.99 (reg. $34.50)

For as much good publicity the new J. Crewish basics Lands’ End Canvas line has received… I have yet to see any of their stuff in person.  It all looks terrific, but with just 24 brick and mortar stores they still have a small footprint.

Full marks to commenter TheMeInTeam who sent in a style tip about a pretty big shirt sale L.E.C. is having.  Just $17.00 for their heritage poplin shirt in patterns.  Gingham or bengal stripe specifically.  And all of them look like they would go extremely well under any manner of V-neck or blazer.

His question was: “I don’t know much about the fit, but for $17?  What’s the risk?”

Here’s the issue.  I don’t know how to answer that one.  The description mentions specifically that this shirt has a “refined tailored fit.”  And the entire line is geared towards the men and women who shun the bulky relaxed look.  Here’s why it’s not a slam dunk.  There have been a few specific reviews left right here on Dappered that have called into question the validity of the “tailored” claim.

So let’s settle this.  Who has experience?  Is it truly tailored in?  Slightly tailored?  Trim fit?  Would you spend $17 per shirt to get say, a few gingham and a bengal stripe?  Leave your opinions in the comments section below.

Because if they’re anywhere near decent, $17 is tough to beat.

Solids, except for pink, will set you back $34.50

    I just ordered some of these over labor day weekend. So I got them for $17 plus the 25% off. My verdict: They’re definitely worth $17, let alone the $12 I got them for. They are not as tailored as say…a 1MX, but they’re not a Tommy Hilfiger trim fit either (which is not really trim at all). So they’re somewhere in between. They’re described as lightly structured and minimally packed. Which is true. The colors looked slightly faded, which is what they’re going for. As for the length, the picture is pretty accurate. It can go untucked or tucked. I dropped mine off at the tailor yesterday just to make them fit perfect. I like them and I’d buy more…at this price.

    I’m right with Ken. Definitely worth the $17. Better fit than most trim fit shirts. I’ll maybe take to the tailor if I’ve got cash burning a hole, but I’m content to wear as is until then.

    Order a striped and a gingham over the weekend and they shipped today, so I should be able to report on them soon. Sleeve length is usually the issue for me, but it they’re too short (i.e. just right for normal people) I can just wear them under sweaters in winter or roll them up in summer.

    I own one of these and they are “GREAT”. I am 5’10” at 170lbs. I have broad shoulders and a v shaped torso, and when i put this thing on it fit like a charm. Only thing i went with a small though, aside from my normal medium. The fact that its a button collar adds a bit of remorse to the button up, as some people question the strength of thier collar. Arm length was right on for me. Just like Ken mentioned it can go tucked or untucked…Def COPP this at 17 bucks, plus that 10 off 50 its a winner to me.

    I had to send back my LEC button downs because of the short sleeve length. Otherwise, I loved the fit. I’d call it casually slim.

    I own three poplins from LEC. They fit well. If you’re on the cusp between two sizes (like S and M), size down. I’m a shorter guy (5’6″),the sleeves run a little long.

    If you’re unsure about fit, definitely chat with their customer service. They’re very helpful, and can get you actual garment measurements.

    If you live near a Sears (or even better, a Sears with a Lands’ End section), order online with a free shipping promo. If the shirt doesn’t work out, you can return it in-store at any time for any reason for a full refund.

    I’ve bought three of the ginghams and two of the oxfords. I love the tailored fit. Comparable to Express’s 1mx slim fit, except the sleeves aren’t as annoyingly short. The hem is short enough to wear them untucked.

    For reference, I bought the shirts in medium and I’m 5’10 185lbs and typically wear a 16.5×35 dress shirt. Hope that helps.

    to those who have purchased, what size would you recommend for me 6’3 240lbs. my regular shirt size is 16.5 36/37 and a slimmer fit.

  10. TheMeInTeam says

    September 15, 2010 at 4:20 PM

    I’m 6’4″ 205 and wear the same shirt size as you, and I ordered the large (44 chest). Honestly, I hope the fit will be slim enough that it wouldn’t have a lot of room for another 35 pounds, but maybe it will work for you. They’ll probably get here tomorrow or Friday, so I’ll let you know.

  11. TheMeInTeam says

    September 15, 2010 at 6:39 PM

    Scratch that; they were already sitting on my front porch as I typed the above post, so here’s my review: The size L shirts at least are not slim at all. I mean, there’s 205 pounds of me and with the shirt buttoned I could pull the buttons out almost 6 inches from my stomach. Tucked in, there’s definitely some sail action going on in back. I wasn’t expecting these to fit like a glove, but I’m kind of surprised that they weren’t a little more tailored. How overweight do you have to be for a regular Land’s End shirt to fit? Also, the sleeves are borderline too short, but that’s only because I have monkey arms, so that’s not an issue for most people.

    On the plus side, the tail length is pretty good for wearing untucked, and the fabric is soft and comfortable. And of course there’s the price. If you want a better shirt, there are plenty out there, but you’re not going to find anything better for $17. I’ll probably mostly wear these under sweaters.

    Could anyone with a size small measure the sleeve length for me? By the way, if someone who is 5’10” and 170 lbs as someone posted above, I’d say these aren’t really much of a slim fit at all.

  13. Dave says

    I bought 3 gingham and 1 bengal stripe. I’m 6 feet tall, 175 pounds, swimmer body, V torso and broad shoulders. My arms aren’t short but they aren’t extra long. Here is to hoping the medium fits.

  14. Dave says

    September 22, 2010 at 9:52 AM

    I love these shirts! Not as tailored as I would like around the waist, and almost too tight if you have broad shoulders. I’m a fairly lean guy but there is no way I can lift both arms up over my head in these shirts. I went with the medium and it fits perfect besides.

  15. Stephen says

    I bought three shirts on recommendation from this article. I’m 5’10 165-170 lbs and pretty fit. I wear slim fit shirts and jeans. I have a hard time finding shirts that fit my shoulders but are thin enough to provide a tailored appearance. These Lands End shirts are it. They fit almost identically to a J Crew or BR slim shirt.

    People can throw stones, but Lands End fits and feels right on par with the best in the business. I’m now wearing my navy bengal stripe shirt with a charcoal suit; very pleased.

    I’m 5’11, usually wear a 15.5, 34.5(i.e. 34/35) shirt size, 42 blazer (that usually has to be tailored significantly.. What size would you all say I should get? I definitely want the sleeve length to fit, won’t be buttoning the top 2 buttons, and don’t mind getting it tailored (but hoping one of the sizes fits perfectly..)

  17. Hasan says

    I got one of these shirts in the mail and here are my thoughts:
    I ordered a size Small. I’m 5’9″ at 134 lbs, 14.5 inches in the neck, and a 36 jacket size.

    The shirt fits almost perfectly for me. There’s very little baggage in the waist, sleeves maybe a tiny bit too long but not comically so, and the neck fits like a glove with the top button buttoned.

    Thinking about buying a couple more shirts.
