Our fine shirts are constructed, as all our shirts are, to assure the softness and silky hand of the fabric, and for comfort and durability. Pure cotton shirts are high thread count 2-ply Swiss cotton; the cotton and linen shirts offer the comfort and durability of cotton, with the lightness of linen. Our shirts are cut in our Canadian artisan workrooms in sizes 15 x 2 through 18 x 7, in a gentleman’s fit, with a roomy sleeve and body. We uniquely include a 15 ¾" collar to meet the hard-to-satisfy needs of so many gentlemen. Each shirt has mother-of-pearl buttons, (or, on some sport shirts, horn buttons). Each shirt is single needle stitched, with side gussets for added strength; collars have removable stays; we add gauntlet buttons for replacement needs, and double buttons at the cuff for added comfort; and we add an extra ¼" width to the left sleeve cuff to assure room for a wristwatch; we add an extra allowance in manufacturing for shrinkage after a first washing to both our collars and sleeve length; our collars all have proper tie space; and we are proud to produce a button down collar with a perfect roll.
