The fit is good, but I was disappointed by the quality. I’ve been getting Downeast shirts for several years and this is the first time I’ve seen the quality as low as it is. The white shirt was very thin and sheer. I feel like the shirts used to be a bit longer too. Overall, the shirt is fine, but it’s not my favorite anymore.

I bought both a cream and black essential tee. Love the fabric and overall fit. I wish you had a larger color selection.

There is a reason it’s called an essential tee! You gotta have it for any outfit! So grateful to be buying these from DOWNEAST for years and years!
