FIT: Just Right
Slightly fitted and more of a European look. I love the fit and the fabric in the shirt which is great for the weather in the south----already received favorable comments when I wear it.

I loved the slimming effect this shirt had on my figure!
This is the perfect “ transition into Spring shirt!” It’s a nice weight and length that can be layered, dressed up or just casual. I need it in all colors!!
Absolutely love this shirt. Normally I shy away from button ups but this is so slimming and the extra buttons ensure that everything stays in place! Will definitely be buying more shirts from this brand.

I am normally a size 10/12 in blouses and ordered this in a large. The fit is perfect, if not slightly generous. Love the fabric and details. Washes and dries beautifully with no need to iron. As a busty person it’s hard to find blouses that fit. This one is divine.
Bought a size XS (I am a 34 bust)
I took this on vacation and wore with white and black denim. I usually wear xs in tops but took a small. It fit perfect.
This was just the shirt I was seeking for an event this May, but it didn’t fit my broad shoulders. I ordered a medium. I know if I ordered a large, it would be too big. I normally wear a 6 regular or 8 petite. I am 5’3” and 124 lbs. This shirt is a classic, however, and is made very well. It appears that I am in between sizes sometimes!

Looks great alone or under a jacket or crew neck sweater.
Fits just right and the hidden buttons are magic! Will be purchasing "The Shirt" in many more colors.
Great fit. By a size up because could run small.

I got SO MANY compliments when I wore this shirt. My husband absolutely loved it. The fit is perfect. Keeps its shape perfectly. Easy to wear but looks so chic.
I love this shirt, perfect slim fit so go can wear under a sweater and not feel bulky. The hidden buttons are revolutionary!
I have this shirt in two other colors. Love them all. Fits perfectly and the extra buttons prevent any gaping.
I am between sizes on this shirt. The large is a tad small and the XL is big. I am sticking with the XL. It fits like I was wearing one of my husband’s shirts.
Great button up! The extra chest button is genious. I’m usually between a small and medium, and went with medium for arm movement.
I initially ordered the medium as I am normally an 8 or 10, but decided to return for the large which was a far more comfortable fit.
This button down shirt is perfect! There really is no gaping at bust! Love it, love it, love it!
My favorite new shirt. Fits perfectly and love the no gape feature
Quite possibly the best shirt I own. Once I tried it on I immediately bought it in two other colors. The fabric is soft and slightly stretchy and the hidden button are a life saver!
Tailored look but very comfortable and easy to move in.
Perfect fit, perfect color, and love the fabric too.
Happy to have added another color of the essential button down to my collection! The shirt fits perfectly for my body tight that is slim in the waist but have experienced gaping at the bust. The hidden button is a gem!
The fabric and extra buttons make this shirt a must-have for me. As a curvier girl up top, the buttons help keep everything covered while allowing for a flattering shape. I still have to have darts tailored in, but that's the least I've ever done on a button-up. I will purchase any color/pattern when my size is back in stock. For reference, I'm 5'10", 140lbs, and I ordered a small.
This is the perfect fitted (but not clingy) button down for layering - especially love the extra "in between" buttons to stop gapping at the bust. Fits snugly tts.

Love my essential button up! I'm 5'9" and slender and shirt has nice slim fit, perfect sleeve length, and love all the hidden buttons. I'm hooked. Already purchased a second one.
I have been searching for the perfect black gingham button down for two years. I have FINALLY found "the one"!! I am 160 pounds, pear shaped, usually wear a size 8, and the M fit me perfectly. Not too tight and not too loose. Perfect structured fit. This shirt is a classic staple for any closet!

Love the design, fit and patterns of these shirts. The hidden buttons that prevent gapping between buttons are brilliant. Not sure I'll be able to wear any other buttondown shirt now.
This gives me a proper and cool look. Love it so much!
Love this shirt! After having a baby my chest size is still on the larger side and it's tough to find button down shirts that don't gap (I usually resort to just wearing a camisole underneath and bracing myself for when a button pops open). It seemed as though I was in between sizes based on the size chart so I sized up and the fit is great. I probably would have preferred that it was just a touch more fitted, but it does not look too baggy so I'm going to stick with what I got. It seems as though there are a million and one buttons in the bust area of the shirt, so this isn't a top you can easily whip on and off (beware for breastfeeding moms who might need quick and easy access), BUT this smattering of closures makes for the all-too-elusive perfect fit! No gapping, the button placket lays seamlessly AND it's not obvious that there's some master trickery going on with said buttons. It's great. The next one I get will be monogrammed for sure, now that I know this top is a winner!
What is not to love about this shirt?! Great color and fit...bought it in another color too!!
Color and quality of this checkered shirt is fabulous! The fit is flattering, and the buttons both internal and external mean you'll never have to worry about your shirt popping open.
Great fit and a classic
This is a super cute twist on a classic silhouette. The teal is vibrant but versatile and pairs wonderfully with several different colors. I was a little nervous when choosing my size, but I eventually decided to buy the small. It fit perfectly (true to size)! I will definitely be incorporating this into my spring and summer outfits as much as I can!
Quality material, yet still light enough for summer. The extra hidden buttons are so perfect! Sleeves are a bit long.
This shirt lives up to its reputation! It is exceptional in fit, crisp and clean, and polished through and through. Classic, yet fun, easy to style. I am not large busted so probably do not need the “no-gap” feature, but it can happen to any of us - what a great feature! I ordered my usual medium/size 6 (5’7”, 145 lbs.) and it is perfect. The sleeves are even long enough! I will enjoy this treasure for a long time! Thank you, Tuckernuck!
The shirt collar is sturdy enough to slightly pop, and the fabric has a nice stretch to it. Great on its own or as a layering piece.
I originally ordered a size S but it was a bit tight in the upper arms. The rest of the fit was fine. I exchanged it for a medium and it’s perfect. Good length and sleeves are just right. The fabric is high quality and the shirt is well made. If you have slim to normal upper arms, this shirt probably runs true to size. But if your arms are a bit large, order a size up.
I normally wear a size 12 shirt. Because I need the length in the arms, I ordered a large. It was very tight in the bust area and realized that this shirt runs mall because of the stretch. Unfortunately, the XL was sold out. The Shirt is made well with extra buttons so that there is no gap.
This shirt is amazing! There are interior buttons in the area where you worry about a gap showing your bra... it was so amazing I bought another!
Very pretty blouse. I usually am a small (size 4), so the first time I ordered the small. It was just a tad small across the back of the shoulders. I returned it and ordered the medium which fit me better. If you are slightly in doubt as to which size to order, I would go up a size.
Beautiful fit and fabric purchased 2 after I saw the quality and fit. Made me look and feel good. I call it my power blouse because I get so many compliments when I wear it!
I love these shirts! The navy gingham is my 4th of The Shirts and I will continue to add more to my closet. The fit is perfect and no gap.
I love these dress shirts so much as you don’t have to worry about your bra showing and they wash beautifully and then iron/steam. Please keep carrying them in different styles and colors. Thank you Tuckernuck!
I have this shirt in multiple colors. Classic staple that fits just right. The hidden buttons are perfect for making sure you don’t gape at the chest.
The fit is absolutely perfect! The shirt feels crisp, wonderfully tailored without being either too tight or too loose.
One of the best button down shirts I’ve owned. Doesn’t wrinkle easily, stretches slightly so it’s still easy to move, breathable, looks great, didn’t have to take it to the tailors (which I almost always have to do with button downs
Great basic button-up shirt. Fit is true and the extra buttons are genius - why didn't someone think of this before now?
This is the gingham shirt I've been searching for! The fit is slim and fitted and the material has just a hint of stretch to it. As a tall gal (6'!) an added plus is that the sleeves are long enough. This is a big deal because many sleeves on blouses are practically 3/4 length on me! HaHa! The only drawback is that the sleeves are very narrow. I don't have particularly large arms, but I wouldn't want them any tighter!
I love this top! It's perfect as a stand alone top or with a vest/jacket! Highly recommend!
Holy cow! This may be my favorite shirt of all time! Not only is it amazingly comfortable but it looks great on. The stretch of the shirt keeps it wrinkle free, the button closure leaves no gaps avoiding skin showing through and the collar stays up all day. It is a beautiful fabric and worth the price. I would order one in EVERY color!!!
Love this shirt, well tailored fit, additional buttons to avoid any gapping across the chest. Great weekend outfit when worn with jeans.
The fit is so flattering! High quality and timeless blouse.
The blue gingham is the fourth one of these shirts that I have. The extra hidden buttons allow for the shirt to be unbuttoned a little lower than most shirts like this so I don’t feel quite to stuffy wearing it. I’m sure that I will buy another!
This shirt is a great go-to that you can throw on with jeans. It is slightly large on me, but I am very petite. I ordered an XS and it could be a bit smaller and shorter, but still very cute when tucked in!
Love the fit of this shirt!! It is very flattering. I have it in several colors.
I'm not ashamed to say I own this shirt in almost every print and solid offered. I absolutely love the slim (but not too tight) fit, and the hidden button is genius! The fabric feels way more expensive that the shirt actually is, and I know I'm going to have this shirt in my closet forever. I'm normally a 0/2/X-Small (about 5'7"), and opted for the XS. Fits great in the arms, chest, and shoulders. Can't wait for new colors (hopefully) in the spring!

Great fit and very flattering!!
These shirts are terrific! They have a feminine cut, unlike most button down shirts available. The fabric is lightweight and comfortable. The extra buttons that prevent gaps are a genius idea!

Great shirt! Beautiful cotton fabric, perfect fit. Wear it under navy crew neck sweater. Love it
Finally! The shirt that will not gap. It is perfection. Great fabric and fit and strategic buttons. Comfortable and sharp looking. It is now the gold standard shirt. Blue and white gingham check is so happy and will carry through many seasons. Fit is true to size. I am 10-12 due to bust and the large was perfect

The timeless appeal of this navy check can go from navy blazer/white pants to dark skinny jeans, red slides. As usual the fit is true to size. I always wear a small and their small fits me perfectly. Beautiful fabrics! My husband compliments me on it a lot.
Love this shirt. Fits very well and it's comfortable. I'd recommend it. I agree that it is also a crisp shirt and does not wrinkle easily.
This shirt is exactly what I was looking for. It is a great weight. It is structured and flattering but with some stretch to it. Fits true to size. Length was great - works tucked or untucked.
Absolutely love this shirt! This brand has such a great fit - not too boxy - this is a definite wardrobe staple!
This is my 5th (or 6th, I ordered the pink check essential icon shirt the same day) shirt from this brand and I LOVE it. The quality and fit are excellent. Will definitely continue to purchase more of these in the future.
