Very cool summery shirt!

β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…

I am ridiculously and annoyingly sensitive to fabric textures and fit, so I often stick to Uniqlo for that. However, their clothes unravel easily and they're just not as well made. And then I got this. It is the most comfortable, most stylish piece of casual clothing I've ever worn. Besides being eco-friendly and chic, it fits my androgynous aesthetic and sensitive comfort needs. 100% highly recommended!

I am very happy with the shirts I ordered. I always struggle to find a shirt that fits well with my body type and these did not disappoint. Great look, fits slim to the body, and the material is very light and soft. Another thing I really enjoyed was the contrasting color of the inside of the shirt. Gives the shirt a great look when you roll up the sleeve. Definitely going to be buying more!

Best looking blue button down because it has coffee mug prints!

β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…

My wife says I buy too many blue shirts but when she saw this shirt, she told me to get it. Unlike the boring blue chambray looking shirts that you can find anywhere, this shirt has cool coffee mug prints that make this shirt look unique while keeping the conservative blue style. The fit is fantastic for me - it's slim fitting and the length allows you to wear it tucked in or untucked for casual wear or for work. The fabric feels solid - it's soft and sturdy - and the brown buttons make the shirt pop more than the normal white buttons found on most shirts.

β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…

This shirt was on display at our local Bloomingdales and immediately caught my eye. The prints and buttons are unique - they give this shirt a cool personality while still looking really polished. I wore it to work and received so many compliments. I'm on the slimmer side (5'10", 155lb) and I'm usually between a small and medium - I got a medium and this shirt fit perfectly. The length is just right so I can wear it untucked. Also, a percentage of the proceeds go to the SPCA which is even more awesome. To top it off, the service was impeccable. Charles is so responsive and kind - he even gave me a tour of his studio to check out the entire collection. I'll be back for more shirts soon!

I first saw Cotton The First at a craft fair in NYC and tried on one of their shirts. The L fits like a glove and I get compliments on the button inseam accent color all the time.

The service is so personable that I tell people when they compliment the shirt, "oh, I have a personal shirt guy", then of course send them to the website :) I highly highly recommend trying out this brand.

This is a gorgeous shirt that fits well. It is slimming without feeling too constricting. The material is very soft and comfortable.

Was lucky enough to meat Charles the designer at his pop up shop in Bloomindales. His style caught my eye right away. The colors, styles and fabric is the best. So different and unique than other designers. I ended up purchasing 5 shirts. One of my shirts he designed a personal touch for me. He took pictures of three of my pups. Embroidered them together on the back shoulder. The details are beautiful from the colors to buttons. Highly recommended great shirts with a taper fit not boxy like other designers.

β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…

This shirt is incredibly comfortable and perfectly fitted. Charles keeps my measurements on file so that I can have his shirts custom fit to my frame. His shirts are the closest I’ve found that fit me well, but he takes the level of fit to another level by adjusting to my measurements specifically. This is all done at a very reasonable cost, and it is a huge reason I continue to buy from Charles. He really runs a great shop and provides the best service I’ve ever had.

Finally a shirt that fits me!

β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…

Met Charles and bought 3 shirts at Renegade in SF. Not only is Charles great but his designs and their attention to detail you don't see everyday. All the subtleties and the great fit add up to elegant and refined shirts. I'm 5'10'' and 155lb with an athletic slim build - 30" waist. I can never find shirts that fit me well. Regular shirts are like tents on me and even slim fit generally isn't slim enough. Depending on the brand I'm either a small or sometimes medium. I don't bother looking at non slim fit shirts and even with those, shirts that fit my shoulders/chest are always to big at the waist and ones that fit my waist are too small at the shoulders. These shirts in medium fit like they were made for me. They fit my shoulders perfectly and are slim at the waist. Not too slim, not too big. Then length is also perfect for me where I can tuck or untuck and it doesn't look like a dress cuz it's so long. I wore this all blue pitch shirt to a cocktail attire wedding party and looked and felt like a million bucks. I can see myself getting more of these shirts in the future for sure. Thanks for making amazing shirts and being such a nice fun guy, Charles. Can't wait to see new designs down the line!

Perfect for Day and night!

β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…

Because there is no buttons at the collar, I can dress up and down and put a tie on.. So I am able to wear this to work and then off to party at night. Got a ton of compliments on it.

Nice Material.

β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…

Got this shirt along with the other shirts as well. This fabric drapes differently, a little heavier in my opinion so it tends to drape a little closer to my body. A slight stretch in the fabric is a nice touch. I like both and will keep both, thank you.

Good price and service, but didn’t fit me.

β˜…β˜…β˜…

I really like the shirt when I received it. The fabric was nice and soft but I wish it fit me. I was partially hoping that I’m still slim but because the darts in the back of the shirts makes it even slimmer. I have no chance. Please make more fit in the future, thank you. Return was simple and easy though, so kudos to that.

Surprised at how well it fits.

β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…

Usually slim fit shirt is way too tight for me in the shoulder. But all the cool details made me want to try it out, I found the slim fit to fit me surprisingly well. I’m not a slim guys, as I work out a lot and I have massive shoulders and the L fits me very well. Thanks for making a shirt just for me. :)

Really cool pattern. Exchanged for larger size.

β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…

Subtle but bold actually. I like the name too, it’s yellow inside the triangle if you look close. Usually I wear M, but I would go for L in this one. It’s 100 cotton so it might shrink a bit. Charles was really helpful, got a card about how to care for the shirt. I learned a lot and I know how to not shrink the shirt now. Just hang dry.

Cool Black Flannel but not for me.

β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…

The weight feels like a flannel to me. I sweat a lot so I don’t think this will work for where I live. I ended up exchanging for lighter shirt, the fit is pretty consistent. Good responsive service.

If you are looking for something other than plaid, this might be worth a try. And it goes pretty well with my grey suit and slacks.

Go for the Tall version if you are over 6’ 2’’

Super soft fabric

β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…

Not sure if it’s me or my shirt but my wife wants to hug me all the time now, especially when I have this shirt on. I appreciate the softness of the fabric and I think it’s best not to put it into the dryer because I don’t want the shirt to pill and shrink. Hang dry seems to be the right choice so far.

Cut slimmer than American size.

β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…

I’m 5’10’’ weigh 160lbs. I’m a Small in many American brands, and M tends to be way too large for me. This M fits me great, I like my shirt with some room to move my arms, this shirt gives me just enough without feeling too baggy. If you like your shirt super skin fitted, this might not be for you.

My go-to Black shirt

β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…

I really like that the fabric is so soft and it’s not pure black. It’s more textured and makes it look very sophisticated. Since it’s different color on the other side of the fabric, it’s cool when I roll up my sleeves too. Overall, I’m really impressed with the quality and the service.

A little loose in the arm.

β˜…β˜…β˜…

I ended up exchanging for XS, it is a great looking shirt. The arm is less baggy in xs and since it has some stretch, I can go down a size. I like my shirt really fitted so this works for me. Hope it doesn’t shrink.

I am usually in between a Small and Medium. I ordered a Small but I had to exchange for a size up because it felt a little too tight in the chest. It was easy though, Charles helped me through everything and I got my shirt in the mail soon after.

I found this shirt at the Renegade fair in San Francisco and spoke with the designer. I think you have something really interesting to offer here. It’s unique but it’s not Hawaiian loud. It’s mature yet playful. For me, it’s a statement shirt. My wife ended up getting the shirt instead of me because she really loved it.
