I am a bit disappointed with the Zelle Henley style top. There is a strong chemical smell upon opening the bag in which it was packaged. I assume washing will help. The bottom did not have the chemical odor.
The fit of the top is too narrow in the shoulders. I ordered size medium for added length. The arms are long enough. The torso length is long enough for wearing while walking but I wouldn't be able to wear while engaged in activities like weight lifting or pilates. Unzipping the top helps keep the shoulders from pulling, but not enough. There are thumb holes on the sleeves so they can be stretched over hands on cold days. All the seams are nicely finished and the quality is good.
The bottoms are fine. I have owned two previous pairs and know that they will stretch a little and be okay.
Nevertheless, I will probably return both items. I'm looking for a coordinated set to wear while walking my puppy around the neighborhood and want a better fit.
Overall. these are nice yet I would not advise the top for anyone tall(ish) and/or with a long torso. My shoulders are not particularly broad, so I would also say the top would be best on someone with narrow shoulders.
