The dress shirt
A dress shirt is judged by how it fits at the collar, shoulder and cuff, and by construction details that decide how long it lasts.
A shirt is judged at the collar, the shoulder and the cuff, because those are the parts visible under a jacket. Its construction (how the collar is interlined, whether the sleeve is set by hand, the single-needle seams, the button quality) determines how it behaves and how long it lasts.
Fit, in three places
- The collar. A finger should slide comfortably between collar and neck. Too tight and it strangles; too loose and it gaps and the tie shows a gap at the knot.
- The shoulder seam. Should sit at the end of your shoulder, as with a jacket. Everything else on a shirt can be altered; this cannot.
- The cuff. Tight enough that it does not slide over the hand when the arm is lowered; that is what keeps the shirt cuff showing at the jacket sleeve.
Construction
| Feature | Better | Cheaper |
|---|---|---|
| Collar interlining | Sewn-in or unlined: rolls, softens with age | Fused: flat, crisp, can bubble |
| Seams | Single-needle, narrow, clean | Double-needle, wider, puckers |
| Sleeve attachment | Set by hand, eased at the head | Machine set at constant tension |
| Buttons | Mother of pearl, thick, cross-stitched on | Plastic, thin |
| Pattern matching | Matched at the yoke, front and pocket | Not matched |
| Split yoke | Two pieces, allowing shoulder asymmetry | One piece |
Collar shapes
The collar frames the face, and the useful principle is contrast: a wider spread balances a narrower face, a point collar suits a rounder one. Collar height matters more than most people realise: a taller collar sits better under a jacket and does not disappear.
The button-down is a specific case: an unlined collar, long enough to roll properly, buttoned to force the curve. Shorten it or fuse it and the roll disappears, which is what has happened to most button-downs currently sold.
