Next up, let’s look at another customer favorite: the jeans. The fleece lining would be too hot for mild or warm temps. This is a cozy sweater best suited for cooler months. Also, the shorter cuff height is a nice detail. I like the burgundy color and hidden zip placket. While the XS size fits me well, I could probably wear a S for more layering room underneath. This cotton/poly quarter zip is a more casual alternative to the standard wool quarter zip. I’d love to see this sweater in dark green, burgundy, dark brown and cream. My only suggestion for Ash & Erie is to work on offering more colors in the future. The ribbed hem offers a little bit of compression around the waist/hips, but it’s not so much that the sweater will ride up and produce the dreaded muffin top effect. Isn’t it nice not having to go the tailor for a change? Just like the Everyday Shirt and henley, these sleeves are a good length for my arms. I’m wearing it here over the OCBD – a timeless layering combo that looks good on pretty much anyone. It’s cut just a bit fuller than the other tops I tried on, probably because this type of sweater is meant to be worn over another shirt (i.e., you wouldn’t wear it on its own). Ash & Erie Quarter Zip SweaterĪsh & Erie offers crew neck, v-neck and quarter zip sweaters. My only gripe is the collar: I wish it had a button down collar or collar stay slots to avoid flyaway. The flannel fabric feels nice and soft, and the design is pleasant, if not a bit safe. So if you’re in between sizes, you should probably size up. The length is the same, but there’s a little more room in the chest and torso.įor a standard fit shirt, this is still pretty trim. The standard fit actually works better for me. Enter this flannel shirt: Flannel Shirt, Sheffield, XS/Standard Since the Oxford was a bit snug, I wanted to try an XS Standard fit button up from Ash & Erie. The oxford cotton feels sturdy and durable, and I expect this shirt to hold its shape for a long time. They’re a bit wide when buttoned, and I think a double button cuff would provide more flexibility (especially for guys with slim wrists). The only thing I would change is the cuffs. At 125 pounds soaking wet, I wouldn’t want to go any slimmer, but I’m very happy with this cut. The chest and stomach are definitely slim. These shirts have what I would call a “hybrid hem” that can be worn tucked in or untucked. Click here to see more accurate colors on the product page. I chose an XS in slim fit, their smallest and slimmest size available, and it fits really well. This style is available in plenty of different fabrics, but I decided to go with a classic oxford cotton button down (OCBD) in light blue. It’s a casual button up that can be worn tucked in or untucked. This is the brand’s original product and one of their best sellers.
