How to Identify a Superior Dress Shirt
Investing in a dress shirt is more than a mere transaction; it's a commitment to quality and enduring style. Recognizing the distinguishing features of a high-quality dress shirt is essential, as it guarantees not only a refined appearance but also lasting durability. Our commitment to excellence goes beyond the ordinary, ensuring that each shirt meets the highest standards. Here's what sets our dress shirts apart:
Precision Tailoring:
A superior dress shirt begins with a tailored fit that complements your unique physique. Look for meticulously crafted back seams or darts that contour your back, ensuring a shirt that hangs flawlessly. A well-fitted shoulder and armhole require expertise and make a noticeable difference in overall comfort and style.

Exceptional Collar Quality:
Our collars are crafted from three layers of fabric – the top collar, under collar, and an interlining sandwiched between. Unlike mass-produced alternatives, we avoid press-on fusing for longevity. The interlining, cut on bias, provides a beautiful "roll" at the top edge, showcasing the skill of our highly-trained tailors. The result is a collar that exudes a refined, formal look.
Fine Stitching Expertise:
Quality stitching is not just skin-deep; it's equally impressive on the inside. Our shirts boast equal quality inside and out, with no loose threads, chain stitching, and a high stitch per inch count. This attention to detail not only enhances the shirt's longevity but also delivers sharper lines and tighter seams.
Impeccable Flat Felled Seams:
Setting our shirts apart, we embrace the meticulous art of flat felled seams. This technique, requiring three passes and exceptional tailoring talent, ensures a clean and polished look from both the inside and outside. Unlike common shortcuts, our shirts avoid uncomfortable seam allowances and prioritize strength for enduring quality.
Premium Cotton Fabric:
Our commitment to fabric quality is unwavering. We strike a balance between fine weaving and mid-thickness for less wrinkling and prolonged garment life. While some shy away from fabric with stretch, we've embraced a 2% spandex blend for a comfortable yet refined shirt.
Mother of Pearl Buttons:
Buttons play a crucial role in defining shirt quality. We spare no expense, utilizing natural mother-of-pearl buttons known for their beauty, heat resilience, and unique feel. The natural luster and individuality of each button contribute to a distinguished look that cannot be replicated.
Precise Button Holes:
Machine-stitched button holes on our shirts ensure a clean and uniform appearance. Extra stitches surround the cut slit, providing added strength to this vulnerable area. No loose threads are left unclipped, ensuring a polished finish.

Hand-Sewn Cuffs for Unmatched Quality:
Similar to collars, our cuffs receive meticulous attention. Hand-applied sewn-in interlining, cut on bias, adds the necessary stiffness and structure while maintaining a soft and supple feel. Our cuffs are a testament to the skill of our expert tailors.
Pattern Matching Mastery:
Our shirts excel in pattern matching, with careful attention to detail. Whether it's plaids, stripes, or prints, we ensure patterns align seamlessly throughout the garment, showcasing the skill of our skilled cutters and tailors.
Single Needle Stitching Allover:
Opting for the finest and most comfortable stitching, our shirts feature a single needle lock stitch. This choice ensures durability and a polished appearance, setting our shirts apart from the common chain stitch.
Securely Sewn Buttons with Spare Buttons:
We understand the frustration of a lost button. Our shirts feature tightly sewn buttons, securely attached by specialized machines. Additionally, spare buttons are discreetly stitched to the side seam label for easy access without compromising comfort.

Fine Rolled Hem for a Refined Finish:
The bottom hem of our shirts boasts a finely stitched rolled hem, demonstrating our commitment to perfection. Crafted with talent and patience, our shirts avoid the undesirable "roping" effect, ensuring a clean and polished finish.
In conclusion, our high-quality dress shirts are a culmination of meticulous craftsmanship, attention to detail, and a commitment to excellence. Elevate your wardrobe with a shirt that not only exudes sophistication but also stands the test of time. Choose quality; choose distinction.
