The Elbe Stretch Poplin Shirt Classic Fit in Forest Green Multi Stripe is praised for its beautiful and vibrant color, great fit, and high-quality fabric. Customers appreciate the hidden snaps that prevent gapping and the flattering style. However, some customers found the size to be inconsistent, and a few noted that the sleeves were too tight for a casual look.

"I am a first time buyer with Universal Standard. My first purchase was the poplin bold stripe green/blue shirt. I ordered an XL but really needed a 2XL. I needed the 2XL because of my back area is rather tight. The shirt is a winner with snaps and buttons for support. I’m very pleased with my purchase & garment overall."
"Elbe poplin shirts are my absolute favorite button down; my go-to for work! The cut it flawless - loose enough to be comfortable but not baggy; I love the hidden snaps around the bust. Universal Standard always has a good mix of classic patterns with a couple of more unique to keep things interesting. I’ve expanded my Elbe collection over the years and I’m sure it will continue to grow."
"Love the timeless classic look of this button up shirt! I found that I needed to go one size down for this shirt."
"I love the classic, crisp look and feel of this shirt. I received multiple compliments. It can be dressed up or down with ease."
"Firs like a glove and very universal - can wear anywhere and look polished"
"I ordered this shirt on a whim because it was a big sale week and I friggin' love it and got several compliments the first day I wore it. I went for an XS as a person who has trouble with traditional sizing in button-downs and it fits SO perfectly. It's a well-made shirt and a fantastic wardrobe staple. Don't hesitate."
"Great shirt! I own 3 versions of this shirt in slightly different colors and styles, and it's only a matter of time before I collect more of them. I didn't think I could ware button ups because I'm a DDD cup size, but this shirt and it's snaps are magic. I never need to worry about how I look when I wear this to work. It's effortlessly professional."
"The shirt fits great, and I love the snaps to keep it from gapping over the bust. I’m not crazy about the fabric: it’s feels like it’s a poly fabric. The shirt is also a little long on my torso. Overall, though, good shirt to wear with a suit"
"I now have three of these shirts in different colors/patterns because I fell in love with the style and fit. I have lipedema, and the arms have plenty of room for someone with larger upper arms. The snaps between the buttons mean that the shirt doesn't gape across the bust."
