Equipment
Equipment was born out of the ready-to-wear fashion world of the '70s: minimalist, menswear-inspired designs for the modern woman. Relaunched in 2010, the label has kept true to its roots, crafting simple yet sophisticated tops, dresses and more out of the finest silk, cashmere and cotton. Clean silhouettes, feminine accents and an array of prints keep pieces timeless yet fresh.

The perfect silk shirt
This is my favorite shirt and the perfect silk button-down blouse. It is absolutely worth the price and will last a long time if taken care of. I have this in multiple colors and will continue to purchase additional shades. The silk is extremely high quality and holds up well to wearing and washing. It wrinkles very little throughout the day, even after rolling the sleeves up, which is rare among silk shirts. I machine wash mine in mesh laundry bags on gentle with Laundress delicate detergent (made for silks and lingerie), and they've held up beautifully with no fading. I do hang them to dry. If you prefer to dry clean, use only a trusted dry cleaner. Fit is generous but flattering because the silk hangs so well. I'm a size 6 in tops and a 4 in pants normally and wear a small in this shirt; I am only slightly too busty at a 34DDD to fit into an extra small. If you are busty, I highly recommend taking the shirt to Nordstrom alterations and having them place small metal snaps inside the placket in between the second and third and third and fourth buttons; they are totally invisible from the outside and completely eliminate any potential for embarrassing gaping issues.

Viscose. Not silk.
This shirt shows as a silk shirt (100% silk) on the website. It just arrived - and it’s not silk. The label on this shirt clearly states 100% viscose. What a disappointment. I called Customer Service to request to change their writeup. Very disappointed.

Very soft silk shirt. It's a big cut, not tailored so expect it to look big. Not a true black color but I've seen other silk shirts look the same, could be the fabric. I would recommend it with jeans. I don't think it's meant to tuck in it would be too bulky. I like it, very soft and feels good on.

I'm addicted
I love the traditional Equipment blouses. I bought 2 at Nordstrom in the 1980's when I was in my 20s and wore them out. It was so great to see the brand again a few years ago and to make sure I have a lifetime supply of this timeless classic for women who love style and really care about looking their best, I have just acquired my 15th Equipment blouse. Thank you Equipment & Nordstrom!

Size down
Equipment silk shirts are my all time favorite tops to wear. I dress them up with black pants/skirts/shorts and heels and wear them with jeans for more of a casual look. I have about 9 Equipment shirts in my collection and I have never realized that all of them were the slim fit version.
The signature fit runs large, so size down when ordering. I am 139 lbs, 34DD and size small was huge on me! Too long in the back and the sleeves were baggy, too. I will exchange it for a slim fit shirt. Too bad, because I really liked the dark green color.
I think the signature style will be perfect for girls who work out and have more muscle in their shoulder and arm area.

Signature Silk in black
Great feeling blouse!! The black is more charcoal, so a really nice color. Blouse runs big...definitely order one size down. You can certainly dress it up or down....a keeper in any color!
