Johari West Men's Big and Tall Short Sleeve Hawaiian Tropical Cotton Shirt

Awesome shirt.

delivered early, fits and looks great

It fits well and makes me look good

Really liked the design of these shirts. Decided to buy two, a Green River and the Black with palm motif. These are hand stamped patterns, so no two are alike. The "Bass Fish" pattern (Green River) is almost indistinguishable, another plus in my mind. I'm not a fisherman, but I like marine life art! As an established artist I was really searching for unique designs that were not over the top. Artistic but still normal so people don't stare at you and wonder what the heck you are wearing or what country you might be from. Other reviewers have commented that they needed to order the next size up, one size larger than their regular size. This may have been a problem when these first came out, so you might want to sort your reviews by "most recent first". Johari West seems to have corrected this. As soon as they arrived I washed the Black one first, in cold water, then dried on air fluff. After drying it was a bit large, mostly in the underarms. I have large muscular arms so this is only a minor issue. Next I washed the Green River in warm water (Johari does not recommend this). I ran it through two warm water / cold rinse wash cycles. Then dried it on low heat setting (recommended). Result: I was very surprised that the arms shrunk slightly, but the shirt width stayed almost exactly the same, even used a tape measure to check. Shrinkage less than 1/2". So basically the same torso/ chest/belt line width top to bottom as it came out of the package. Nearly a perfect fit for me. I like a bit of extra room in a summer shirt, my summer home in coastal southeast region of the USA is hoy and humid from June -September. IMPORTANT NOTE: The warm water wash did soften the fabric and I don't see any fading of colors. Washed both shirts separately with a white t-shirt just to see if any of the ink came off. Nope! Bottom line is I think these are perfect. Knock it outa da park Grand Slam! (Yesterday was the 2016 Home Run Derby, pardon the pun!). A 100% cotton shirt that has minimal shrinkage, retains color, needs only a touch up of ironing if at all, is the perfect shirt in my opinion. Very impressed and I'll be ordering more! Thanks Johari West for a terrific product at a reasonable price! Please make more designs!

If you like Cooke Street Hawaiian shirts from Costco as I do then you will probably like the Johari West. The only difference I could find in the fit is that the sleeves are about 1 1/2" longer. The rest of the fit is very comparable. I believe today's trend, at least for younger people. is toward shorter tails and sleeves. I wear a 2XL and it fits pretty much the same as the Cooke Street after the first washing.There is also a cost difference as Costco has been able to keep the price at around $20 for the past 25 years. And Costco does not sell Cooke Street on there website so you must buy in person at the warehouse.Overall a pretty nice shirt.

Very comfortable shirt. Goes with lots of pants or shorts. Husband likes fish print shirts and he wears them alot. I purchased a different color last year and I was happy there was this color this year. It is a really nice shirt that washes well.

Doesn't seem like much to ask, right? But there are so many LOUD, butt-ugly patterns out there. Yuck! And the cool ones are all on shirts that are essentially made out of plastic and that make you sweat (Texas in August is HOT). Yech!After searching through literally hundreds of shirts, I found this one. I ordered it, worried that it wouldn't look as good, that it wouldn't fit well, and that it wouldn't wear comfortably. I needn't have worried.I'll definitely be looking at more Johari West comfy cotton shirts. Ahhhhh. Thanks, guys.
