Roark Reviews

"Got a few long sleeved Roark flannels, but these Andes have very useful side pockets in addition to the standard two up top. Deep enough to stow a bit of gear, but even better hand warmers on cold, brisk days\r\nMeant to be worn as a jacket, the Andes brushed poly fabric's soft enough to wear against the skin, tho I usually have a cotton shirt underneath. Tough enough for northern climes, but I often pair it with a vest on top too (see pic) \r\nWarm & practical, it's also a great looking garment any way (and anywhere) you wear it!"

"Sick shirt that is great for everywhere. Working out, office, you name it... its BA! I am 5'10\" 200 lbs and a Large fits perfect."

"Love the shirt. Large fits great for my 5'10' 200 lbs build. It has a sick vintage look to it. Sunbeam Mosaic 4 LIFE. LOOOVE IT!!!"

"Shirt looks great. Im 5'10\" 200 lbs with athletic build and Large fits great on me. I have both the Bless Up shirts as well as the Journey shirts and I get tons of compliments everywhere I go."

"The Nordsman was the first Roark that caught my eye, and I've acquired a few of them since that fateful day\r\nCouple Tetons in heavy organic cotton as well as some lighter gauge cotton\/poly blends, and a growing collection of these polyester\/wool flannels \r\nAt 5'9\"\/135lbs I prefer the trimmer fit of extra small shirts when I can get them, tho most of my Roark's are size small - gives me room for layering. I've got lots of their jackets & pants as well and have found their sizing not only very consistent across the board, but also pretty much in alignment with most other brands I've always worn. Though I've obviously never been able to try anything on first, I've also never had to return anything because it was bigger (or smaller) than I expected it to be. Another reason I can always order from these guys with 100% confidence \r\nNordsman Flannels may only contain 10% wool, but it's plenty sufficient to ward off the chill. I'll need a henley or a T beneath because I can feel every bit of that wool tickling my skin! But with a coat like the Hebrides on top, I'm ready for the coolest fall days. This is a warm shirt!\r\nAnd beautiful. Bold, but somehow understated at the same time. A particularly striking pattern ~ kinda Aztec\/Mayan maybe.. paired with colors that are gorgeous too, but not in an in-your-face way. More earthy & subdued. Absolutely appropriate for the changing seasonal palette. Another winner from Roark!\r\n"

"Another stunning embroidered shirt to go with a growing collection of eye-popping pieces from my favorite new clothier, Roark\r\nAlthough they're classifying it as 'Button Up', I'd describe it as Western style, like their amazing 'On The Range'. Same jet-black, heavy-guage cotton poplin fabric & pearloid snaps. Less embroidery, but it's more intricate, with a subtle blending of multi-colored threads. I keep repeating this over&over with every review, but it's probably my favorite one yet!\r\nFit's perfect, as expected. These garments ain't cut to accommodate a beer gut. Having said that, this is a piece of clothing that'll make you look (and feel) good\r\nOn the subject of good, I'm going to make a rare negative comment: Shirt came with a tiny defect!\r\nGirlfriend noticed as soon as I put it on, so we reached out to customer support via email and the issue was rectified immediately. I mean like instantaneously ~ new one's en route as I type this!\r\nSo, that's stellar service and colossal clothing combining to create one happy camper; that'd be me. Thanks Roark.. I'll be back "
