Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
This is not the picture of this shirt. Look for the Ultimate Performance Short-sleeve Work Shirt. That will show you the hopelessly dorky pockets that this shirt actually has. I decided that I could not wear it in public. It has a small pocket stacked on top of the bigger pocket and a couple of extra loops for no apparent reason. I don't know why manufacturers do this to clothing made of nylon. It's like they can't believe that you actually want to buy they thing because it's made of nylon so they need to load lots of extra crap on it. It is too bad in this situation because everything else about the shirt (fit, material, vent in back) is great. I sent it back as soon as I saw it.

Nice all around work shirt with plenty of room to spare. The shirt has extra long tails with an even bottom length rather than a scalloped bottom cut so that it can be worn tucked in or out, depending on your employer's preference. I am 5'10" tall and weigh about 182. In a LARGE, it would still fit someone 30 pounds heavier and 4-5 inches taller.
The back is neatly vented with a cloth mesh piece sewn in the inside upper back and shoulder area to wick away moisture [sweat]. The shirt has seven heavy duty well sewn on buttons. It has 4 pockets and two added loops. There are 2 standard covered breast pocket with cover flaps attached by Velcro rather than buttons. Sewn onto each regular pockets is a smaller attached pocket which is also flap covered and attached by the same Velcro as the larger breast pocket. I am not sure of the purpose of the smaller pockets. It seems to be more of a fashion statement than utilitarian. There is also a smaller loop to the center edge of the left breast pocket and a much larger loop attached to the bottom of the right breast pocket. I am not sure of the purpose of these, except maybe to attach an alligator type clip on name tag where required, say in a medical/government facility. Again, I think this is more a matter of form over function, as I think name tags could be attached to the standard breast pocket flaps. But it is an option for those personnel required to wear tags, which is certainly less expensive than having each shirt personally embroidered.
The shirts are well tailored with close stitching. I've worn the shirt two days now. Once before washing and today after washing. It looked neat and fresh after washing on permanent press with NO wrinkles. The button hole loops are also nicely reinforced and fit tight. The shirt gives a nice overall appearance and should look good after many washings. The synthetic fabric did not keep me too hot, although I made it a point not to purposely stand out in the sun yesterday or today with the heat index hovering around 110.

Dickies IS the brand for high-performance work attire and this particular shirt is no exception.
BUTTONS UP:
1. The Size L fits to a T. 2. This 100% nylon shirt holds its shape and is just as resistant to wrinkling, and the material is as good as, if not better than, 100% cotton. 3. Great neutral color, easy to wash and still looks great after being washed. 4. Durable, but lightweight on the skin; the mesh-lined back works! 5. Ample pockets for carrying a hodgepodge of things. 6. Bonus points for UPF 50+ sun protection.
THE NITTY-GRITTY: Without one complaint (BUTTONS DOWN), I'm happy to give Dickies Men's Deluxe Performance Short-Sleeve Work Shirt a five-star rating! Dickies: Keep up the good work for the working people!

For the purpose of being able to comment on this garment, I put this shirt through an extreme test, I wore it all day while driving in Texas. Since this is something I have done quite frequently (the driving, not testing out shirts), I knew it would be a good acid test to determine if it does keep you dry and comfortable.
Firstly, I am 5"6, 160lbs and have a 32 inch waist, and this shirt fit me as expected. Despite the material being a little heavier than what I thought it 'should be' to deliver on its performance claims to keep me dry, I was pleasantly surprised.
What I wanted to know was immediately clear after getting in the car, and remained unchanged all day. This fabric is amazing.
In addition to remaining comfortable, and dry, the additional component for me that makes all the difference is remaining presentable. There is no point in feeling comfortable and dry if your clothes look wet, with this shirt, that was not the case.
For me, the only negative is in relation to style. I feel the fabric is a little long in the body. For a shirt that isn't going to be tucked in, my preference would be for a shorter shirt but about 2-3 inches. While I took away one star for this, it in no way affects its performance which is more important :)
In conclusion, in addition to the material used, the construction (stitching etc) yields a shirt that works well in high temperatures and is very durable. I can see this shirt lasting for many years.

nice fit and finish...excellent feel..like the professional look and the price seems fair...a heads up and the only reason this is not perfect is it is a bit heavier than expected for a summer work shirt. But knowing that going in you can not be disappointed by the rest a very nice shirt
