Our Shirts Details
Fabric
A dress shirt is only as good as the fabric it’s cut from. We only use fabrics from the most reputable mills in Europe and Asia, the ones that use high-quality yarn to produce fabric.
We use quality oxford cloth to make our OCBD (oxford cloth button down) and premium poplin to craft dressy striped shirts.
Shirt Collars
Our collars are a hallmark of quality. We don’t produce shirts with tiny collar lengths, which do not look good. In fact, all of our shirts have decent tip length, which gives the wearer a classic look. On top of that, the overall collar style is in proportion to the collar band, which gives the wearer a nice fit around the neck.
We offer an assortment of fused and unstructured collars crafted with the best quality interlining. Dress shirts are made with quality collar interlining, and the more casual shirts have an unconstructed collar. The unconstructed collar gives it a softer feel.
Stitching
We use superfine single-needle techniques while tailoring the shirt and sew the shirts with at least 18 stitches per inch. This leads to incredibly strong and beautiful seams.
Aside: Single-needle sewing is reserved for very high-end luxury dress shirts because it takes more time and requires more experienced craftsmen to tailor the shirt.
So, when we tailor a shirt with the above method, we don’t compromise on quality. Eventually, this gives more value to the customer at a reasonable price.
Split Yoke
All of our shirts have a split yoke, another feature that is only found on very high-end shirts. This takes the fabric stress points out of the construction and allows the fabric to flex across the shoulders, offering greater comfort and movement. We did not omit this feature from our construction to hold back on quality.
Our patterns match across all joining points, creating a seamless flow across the shirt.
Be it the yoke and sleevehead, front placket, or split yoke, all of these components are pattern-matched. This gives our shirts a more visually striking and aesthetic look.
To sum up our shirt quality
We tailor our shirts with gentleman’s classics in mind. Our shirts are elegantly proportioned to suit most body types. Our shirts’ quality characteristics are:
- snug at the shoulders to give a cleaner look.
- sleeves that are slim but not skinny (comfortable to wear alone or under a suit)
- High armholes
- long collar tips (no tiny collars on our shirts)
- Single needle stitching
