Product Description
The Van Heusen Commander Shirt is a luxury shirt that mixes form and fashion.
Fused crisp collar, wrinkle-free 60% cotton 40% polyester Pinpoint Oxford. It comes with shoulder straps, two pockets with mock flaps for easy entry. Single-needle armhole, extra-long tuck-in tails. Fully-fused wrinkle- free construction.
The “Commander” comes with mock Flap Pockets: they look like they must be unbuttoned, but they are actually open at the top for easy entry. We carry other shirts with true Flap Pockets. See Related Items at right.
Please measure your neck and sleeve size before ordering. If you need advice on how to do this, please contact us.
Optional Wingman Reinforcement Patch:
The Optional Wingman is a reinforcement patch designed specifically for pilot lapel wings or nametags. The Wingman has an iron-on backing that applies easily and strongly. It can be placed on the outside or inside of your shirt, and can be ironed-on or sewn-on! It is 3 inches wide by ½ inch tall.
Please note: if you order the optional Wingman, you will get one for each shirt. Example: order 3 shirts with optional Wingman and you will get 3 Wingmen. If you wish to order just one, please see the Wingman at right and order it separately!

- I have worn many different Pilot shirt brands and styles over the last 30 years, and the Van Heusen Commander is the best shirt I have ever owned. I have worn this shirt exclusively for around 12 years now. The higher cotton content and the heavier weight material make this the most like a true business shirt. Almost every other shirt on the market is paper thin and/or mostly polyester. If you care about a truly professional look, this is your shirt.
- Pros: Crisp look, sturdy material, long shirt-tail
- Cons: not available in 1/2 inch neck sizes for long sleeve
- The fabric even though is 60% cotton, it feels very plastic. The worst part is that it is way too big. I’ve a short sleeve van heusen 15.5 inches (neck) that fits me perfectly, and this long sleeve, being also 15.5, it looks like a huge bag on me.
- Cons: Too big
- I like the pure white color, fabric and the open pockets. It's easy to slide an iPhone 6 into the right side and a pen and sunglasses on the left. Shirt tails are long enough to stay tucked in as well.
- I ordered 2 shirts in the same size I already use (16.5 34-35). When they arrived, I realized that they were huge! The label indicated the size I ordered, but the shirt itself is significantly bigger than my other shirts. Even after washing with hot water and drying.
- Pros: Very good quality for the price
- Cons: Actual shirt is bigger than the stated size
- Very good quality product. I have been wearing the short sleeves Commander for a long while now. Decided to give the long sleeves model a try.
Same quality and comfort.
- Pros: High quality, very comfortable. Appreciate the pockets open in the top.
- Cons: Not so wrinkle resistant as advertised.
- I am NOT a pilot, but I do work where a white shirt and black tie are required.
I bought this shirt, and a neck tie here thinking that pilots would need both to be durable and I was right.
Aside from having epaulets (which I don't mind) they look like a dress shirt and wear like a work shirt.
The ONLY gripe I have is that while they dry wrinkle free using permanent press settings, they come out of the bag they arrive in with some pretty persistent wrinkles that require ironing to really remove.
Had it not been for that, I'd have given it 5 stars with no hesitation. - Bought these for years. Cotton content makes them more breathable and they're actually stain resistant. For me, that's a real plus.
