The verdict
Fit
Berg & Berg's Ferdinand is crisp and trim. Poplin is stable, so expect a precise fit; order your normal size.
Quality
Poplin is a durable workhorse weave. Berg & Berg's seaming is clean; this should rotate well without stretching or distortion.
Is the price fair?
At the discounted price of 156 dollars, strong value for a contemporary poplin button-down with solid construction.
Best for
Office-adjacent and casual wearers seeking a reliable, plain blue shirt that won't fade or fray prematurely.
Care
Warm wash, moderate tumble dry; poplin wrinkles naturally, so ironing will keep it crisp between wears.
What owners report about Berg & Berg button-ups
The brand's designer has said openly that it aims for a balance of quality and price rather than the best possible product, and reviews track that positioning. An editorial reviewer found the shirt good enough to keep wearing on quality alone, and readers single out the high, rolling collars with good structure and neat finishing on Italian-made shirting. Forum owners note items run a bit small and advise ordering a size up, and some question paying full retail given the brand's frequent high-percentage sales.
- Strengths
- The shirts' collars draw the most consistent praise — high, structured, and rolling — along with neat finishing and good fabrics for the price.
- Watch out for
- Owners report the cut runs a bit small, frequent deep sales make full retail hard to judge, and return shipping to Sweden is expensive enough that some buyers hesitate to order.
- Sizing
- Forum owners report items run a bit small and slim, with repeated advice to order a size up.
