Dickies Mens and Big Men's Original Fit Long Sleeve Twill Work Shirt

I actually bought this because it is the closest thing I can find to a dark blue long sleeve uniform shirt that I wore in the U. S. Air Force back in the 70s and 80s. The shirt was designated as 1549 Dark Blue Men's Shirt. The only difference is that the Dickies shirt has no shoulder epaulets and is Polyester/Cotton blend where the uniform shirt was Wool/Cotton blend. I needed it to attend the funeral of an Unaccompanied Air Force Veteran's Funeral where his only surviving relative could not attend. I was asked to receive his burial flag on her behalf which I was honored to do.

May years ago I have bought this work shirt and I would wear until they are worn out. I still wear them all worn-out. Just recently I bought one on line to replace one that I had for a very long time and now I just received three more of today to replace my worn out work shirts.

I constantly purchase the short sleeve work shirts & use them for both work & leisure. True fit, durable & comfortable. So I thought I'd give the long sleeves a try. Not happy at all. Fits great if ALL you do is stand straight. I'm a Big Man standing at 6'7" 350lbs so I purchased them the same size as the short sleeves with an added LT for the sleeves, so 4XLT. Cannot lift my arms more then 1/4 of the way up without shoulders & cuffs tensing up. No slack or flexibility on the shoulders or upper back when moving your arms. Can't even scratch my nose.

Good quality and stylish work shirts that are as comfortable as they are durable. Made to fit well and wear well. They pair very well with Dickies work pants providing you with an outfit / uniform that can withstand a hard working environment, including stain resistance, and still look good. At the end of the day throw them in the washer and dryer and they are as good as new!

I thought I had bought the same shirt as last time and after looking at both, Yes they are the same shirt. But, the new shirt, specifically the sleeves are smaller, i.e. the diameter Now if I had been going to the gym and spent time working on my arms, I'd understand, but, I haven't.
