If you haven’t noticed, plaid is back, so I decided to try the Oxbow Bend long sleeve plaid shirt from Woolrich. When I held the shirt in my hands, I noticed it had some weight to it, and it felt like a well-constructed shirt. Then when I put the shirt on it felt like an old friend. It was broken-in and comfortable right away. Usually, I like to wash my new shirts a few times, so they get that soft broken-in feel to them, but with this shirt, I didn’t have to do that. It was ready to go right away. Now, I remember why I wore all those plaid shirts in the early 90’s. I have to admit I think I found my new favorite shirt. I definitely know I am going to want to wear it every day. I just wish I had one for every day of the week.
The Oxbow shirt is also very nice as an added layer of warmth. Here, in Minnesota, we often need to dress in layers to stay warm and this shirt is the perfect, added layer of warmth and comfort. This is a fantastic shirt, and I only have one caution. This shirt runs large! I almost always wear an XL in all of my shirts, but this one is a large. I’m about 6’1” and I usually have problems finding shirts that fit properly in the sleeves. The Oxbow Bend large fits perfectly, and the sleeves are plenty long. If you can try the shirt on first do it. Overall, this is a great shirt, and I highly recommend it to anyone that likes plaid, warmth, comfort, or grunge music.
MSRP: $49.00
