Dickies Men's Short Sleeve Industrial Work Shirt

I'm a big guy so I would suggest going definitely one size bigger I'm a 3X when it's the white tag Dickies but definitely a four to even a 5 on the orange label Dickies just a heads up for you big guys out there

These are traditional, good-quality Dickies shirts, no doubt about it. But the advertised sizing and the actual sizing are two different things. I went on a search, too, to see what's up: These shirts are advertised as 3XLT but they're not. The tag in the shirt is 3XT. Well, there is a difference between 3X and 3XL. If you have a gut like I do, these Occupational Workwear shirts are not going to close comfortably over your stomach. the button pulls especially across the belly button. I bought 3 of them at once, and all three of them are the same story. The tags say 3XT and they don't come in 3XLT at all. To the tell difference, look at the photo of the shirt. If it has a red tag, then you'll see that the L is missing. The 3XLT with white tags is accurate and fit the way you expected them to.

I bought one of these LS535DS Dickies to test and compare them against the Dickies shirts that cost $2-4 more on Amazon. Why the difference? I just didn't know all the ways.1. This one really stank out of the package. (Ludo smell bad!, I mean REALLY bad.) Rather than return it or wash with the others, I first washed it by hand in the sink. The water turned brown. And that the smell seemed to be gone. I then washed it with the other new Dickies.After wash and dry, trying this one on and to compare it to the others, none of which I have yet worn.2. This has a rounded front and tail where the others were square. So the Amazon photo on this today is wrong.3. This has an additional Dickies tag off the outside edge of the left pocket as shown.4. This has no pocket flaps, the others have flaps as shown.5. This has a snap at top, the others have a button.6. This XL shirt fits a little smaller than the others.7. This does seem lighter material and perhaps has a more open/airy weave.8. This has a landscape red back of neck industrial clothing look tag saying made in Mexico and does say LS535DS on it. Along with RN206979. The others have a portrait shaped off white tag saying made in Honduras also says RN20697 and then CA0109510 The care tag, both shirts have the RN20697 and then CA01095, but this says LS535DS and the others 1574KH.11. This stinky one had a date of 4/29/18. The others 3/22/18.If I find any significant difference wearing this vs the others as work shirts, I'll edit this review.

Marginally thinner than the original Dickies brand, which is manufactured in Honduras, vs. this shirt, in Mexico. That really has nothing to do with the difference. It's the material, or lack there of. I'd say this class of Dickies use anywhere from 25-35% less material, which is good if you live in a tropical climate, because its more comfortable for casual wear.Another difference is the flaps on the front pockets. They're missing. You only get a button. And a poorly sewn one at that.So, if you're really hard up for money and need this shirt for whatever reason, then get it. If not, just get the extra Abe Lincoln out for the real McCoy.

I perform maintenance for USPS and I love these shirts for work. Having worn both these and the thicker Dickies Work Shirts that are made primarily from cotton (LS307) I will choose these first. The material is lighter but seems to be more durable. Where my LS307 work shirts have developed small pinholes from the chemicals I work around occasionally, the LS535's are still going strong. Also these seem to be less likely to stain due to the larger balance of synthetic materials.My only complaint is one that is stated often with any of these style shirts from Dickies and that is they run small on sizes. I usually wear a large and it is too tight in the shoulders restricting movement. So I have to buy an XL for proper fit. My only reason for 4 instead of 5 stars.

I was fairly happy with the shirt, the first time I wore it. The material seemed a little light, and the stitching in the button holes seemed a little thin and I was concerned that it won't stay buttoned because it was a little tight. Carhartt's XL is much bigger. But, I liked the shirt overall, and I especially liked it because the pockets don't have a flap on the front. However, after washing in twice I noticed a small rip in the collar. I guess I'll get another and see if this happens again. Hopefully it's just an anomaly. It's so cheap I'm not going to bother returning it. But, I'm disappointed, of course. Carhartt's material seems much nicer, but I really like the flap-less pockets on the front, so I'll give Dickies one more try .

If this shirt is actually an authentic Dickies brand shirt, it is fabricated differently than any other Dickies workshirt I have ever owned. The material is so thin that it is actually see through! The pockets do not have a flaps on them (which after I received my shirt, I checked and that matches what the picture shows... so my bad for not examining it first before purchasing). Definitely not what I was expecting when I purchased it, but considering it was only $15, my expectations weren't very high as I expected it to be a knock-off.**Update: After washing and wearing this shirt, I am upgrading it to three stars. It is very comfortable and fits me well!
