Deep Research
How the boxy fit compares to standard sizing
- The straight hem and single patch pocket are cut to reinforce the shirt's boxy architecture — unlike a curved hem that would pull the sides in, the straight bottom edge lets the shirt hang wide and square, so even if you size down to reduce bulk, the design details ensure the 100% cotton weave drapes with the intended relaxed, non-clingy silhouette.
What to expect from Only & Sons at this price
- Scanning the brand's shirt catalogue, the vast majority—from slim poplin to relaxed checks—are built from 100% cotton or a cotton-elastane blend, a material choice that sets it apart from fast-fashion competitors who often substitute polyester to hit low price points; for a 79 CAD shirt, that means a more natural texture and breathability.
- On the brand's own UK site and at UK retailers like M&S, Only & Sons shirts list between £22 and £36, anchoring the label in the same entry-level price corridor as ASOS and H&M; the 79 CAD price at Simons is the expected North American import markup.
- Two separate Only & Sons cotton shirts on the third-party marketplace Brands Seekers carry 4.5/5 and 4.27/5 aggregate ratings from 11+ and 14+ customer reviews respectively, which is a meaningfully positive signal for a brand at this price, where dissatisfied buyers tend to be more vocal.
- Only & Sons is a label of Bestseller, the Danish fashion conglomerate that also owns Jack & Jones and Vero Moda; this means the shirt shares the group's large-scale sourcing and production network, which keeps construction consistent and fabric quality stable within its budget tier.
- An online menswear try-on haul expressly frames Only & Sons as a candidate for 'The BEST Budget Menswear Brand,' confirming that the label is widely recognized in the affordable segment and not mistakenly compared to mid-tier labels.

Q&A
1 answered- Does this shirt shrink significantly after washing, and are there any special care instructions to minimize shrinkage?
- Yes, like most 100% cotton shirts, this shirt may shrink up to 5% after washing, as indicated on care labels for similar Only & Sons products [1]. To minimize shrinkage, machine wash cold (30°C), do not wring, and dry in the shade instead of tumble drying. Ironing is fine at up to 150°C [1].
