Wesley Shirt in Harcourt
The verdict
Fit
Indigo denim from Citizens of Humanity fits with modest structured ease. Harcourt colorway suggests clean indigo; the fit likely reads classic and true to size.
Quality
Citizens of Humanity's indigo denim holds color well through repeated wear and washing; seaming is reliable and the weight suggests durability.
Price check
At $258, this is mid-premium for indigo denim. The brand reputation justifies some premium, but the actual construction may not exceed cheaper alternatives in this category.
Best for
Men seeking reliable indigo denim from a heritage brand; works as a versatile core piece that pairs with anything.
Care
Indigo denim benefits from infrequent washing; wear multiple times, wash inside-out in cold water, and air dry to preserve indigo and develop natural fading.

Fit check: Citizens of Humanity
Runs largeCitizens of Humanity tends to run about half a size large and stretches with wear, so most owners size down for a fitted look.
A stylist's sizing guide reports the brand "generally run[s] about half a size large" and that owners "expect about an inch of stretch in the waistband after a few hours of wear," advising those between sizes to go down one. Hands-on reviewers back this up across cuts: one who ordered her chart size in the Horseshoe jean found it loose and repurchased a size down, and a shorts reviewer says the relaxed styles "run really big" and always sizes down. The caveat owners flag is line-level: relaxed and baggy cuts run largest, while high-rise styles fit closer to true size — and older forum threads on the skinny-era styles were more mixed.
Sizing advice: Size down one if you're between sizes or want a snug fit — especially in relaxed and baggy cuts, which stretch and loosen with wear; stay true to size only if you want the intentionally slouchy look.

What owners report about Citizens of Humanity button-ups
Owner reviews of the shirting line — led by the Kayla button-up — are strongly positive on fabric and finish, with owners calling the cotton crisp and high-end-looking. The consistent theme is size: the shirts wear generously oversized, and owners report going down a full size for a closer fit. Practical gripes are small — the crisp cotton needs ironing to look its best — and retailer listings describe the denim versions as non-stretch cotton-and-lyocell.
- Strengths
- Owners praise crisp, structured cotton and a finish that looks more expensive than it is.
- Watch out for
- The generously oversized cut overwhelms smaller frames unless you size down, and the crisp cotton needs regular ironing.
- Sizing
- Most shirts wear generously oversized; owners commonly size down one size for a closer fit.
