What sets Texology apart?
Providing our customers with the Best Fit & exceptional fabric at affordable pricing are our core focus.
Interlining is a piece of fabric inserted inside of the collar to give it a more structured and firmer appearance which holds up after washings. Most of the dress shirts are single interlined (using one piece of fabric), however, we use 2 layers of material for more long-lasting durability
The panel of fabric that runs across the shoulders just behind the collar are made of two pieces of fabric cut at an angle. This construction has both aesthetic and functional purposes, as it allows stripe pattern to run parallel to the seam of the yoke producing a cleaner look. Additionally, a split yoke reinforces a greater range of motion by allowing fabrics to stretch easily. Most mass market brands use a cheaper single yoke construction.
Also known as Lockstitch, it is a construction method that involves setting a seam with one stitch and reinforcing it with another. The visible result is only a single row of stitches along the side seam, creating a more durable finish and cleaner appearance. Because single-needle stitching requires substantial handwork, most low-end shirts are constructed with double-needle stitching, which oftentimes causes the side seams to wrinkle and pucker heavily after a few washes, leading to the shirt deforming.
This extra piece of fabric will prevent the shirt from ripping at the seam that can be caused by aggressive tucking/untucking or an overzealous cleaner. It also adds just a bit of minimal, practical design to the shirt. The extra time and effort that it takes to add details like this is a good sign of a high quality dress shirt.
Generally speaking, the stitching on a high-quality shirt should be straight or smoothly curved in the curves. While it costs more to produce, we prioritize quality and durability, so we apply 18 stitches per inch around the cuffs and collars, whereas most brands use fewer. Additionally, a quality shirt typically uses 85-95 stitches per buttonhole, but we go even further – 160 stitches – to ensure secure stitching during laundering and normal wear and tear.
