The Best Qualities for a Dress Shirt
Premium Fabrics:
SmartWeave
Crafted in Europe through extensive research, our revolutionary fabric showcases cutting-edge technology that seamlessly conceals sweat and repels stains, all while ensuring uncompromised comfort. Meticulously fashioned from premium 100% 2-ply 140s cotton, each of our shirts exudes a lavish and silky-smooth touch, offering unparalleled breathability.
Wrinkle Free
Our collection boasts one of the highest standards for wrinkle-free garments, with a rating of 3.5 or higher. We have meticulously tested and experimented with fabrics from over five reputable suppliers to ensure that we offer only the finest quality. The fabrics we have chosen far surpass those typically found at your local tailor, guaranteeing an exceptional level of excellence.
3 Different Fits That Suits You
A superior quality shirt loses its significance if it doesn't fit flawlessly. With our extensive experience serving thousands of customers, we have honed our expertise in achieving the ideal fit. One of our customers even described our Ready to Wear shirts as if they were tailor-made specifically for them.
We offer two fits for our off-the-rack SmartWeave Light Blue dress shirts: Slim Fit and Regular Fit. For our MTM SmartWeave White dress shirts and Non-Iron White Dress Shirts, we provide three fits: Slim Fit, Regular Fit, and Comfort Fit. Additionally, we offer a Bespoke Customization service for those seeking a more unique shape or complete control over the fit. Our Bespoke Customization Tailoring service will be available starting this May.
Slim Fit
If you prefer a tailored shirt that accentuates your physique with a slimmer and more fitted appearance, our Slim Fit is the perfect choice. The inclusion of darts between the lower and midsection at the back of the shirts ensures an impeccable fit that contours to your body while allowing for comfortable movement.
Regular Fit
Striking a fine balance between a shirt that fits you like a glove and one that offers a relaxed and comfortable feel, our Regular Fit guarantees both style and comfort.
Comfort Fit
If ultimate comfort is your priority, our Comfort Fit is designed to provide a relaxed and unhindered experience. With ample fabric to allow unrestricted movement, this fit ensures maximum comfort without compromising on style or appearing overly loose.
Double Interlined Collar
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
Split Yoke
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.
Single-needle Side Seam Stitching
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 finishing and cleaner appearance. Because single-needle stitching requires substantial handwork, most low-end shirts are constructed with double needle stitching which oftentimes the side seams wrinkle and pucker heavily after a few washes causing the shirt to deform.
Reinforced Side Seam Gusset
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.
High Number of Stitches per Inch (SPI)
Generally speaking, a high quality shirt’s stitching should be straight or smoothly curved in the curves. While it costs more to produce, we care about quality and durability so we apply 18 stitches per inch around the cuffs and collars, whereas most brands go for less. Additionally, a quality shirt usually uses 85-95 stitches per button hole, but we go even further – 160 stitches – to ensure secure stitching during laundering and normal wear and tear.
