I think it could come in just a pinch in a few areas like the arms, waist, and wrist, but, overall, it certainly fits well enough. (I am 6’1” and 165 lbs., and usually wear a size S or 15” shirt in the slimmest fit available.) For the money, the quality of the shirt is absolutely there. At the end of the day, this is a $55 shirt, so there is no high-end craftsmanship here, nor is that to be expected. It has a reverse fused collar, so nothing hand sewn there. Other than that, everything about this shirt is well made. Then again, you need to cut costs somewhere, and it is very often the buttons. The buttons as is make the shirt feel a bit cheaper than it should. However, they do feel a bit “airy,” and if there is one area these shirts can improve, I think a nicer, heavier button would add even more of a quality feel to these shirts. The buttons are genuine shell buttons (so, not mother of pearl - though no surprises there), and are not too thick, nor too thin. At the same time, it does have a nice shape to it, so to speak. The fabric itself moves nicely, and is not treated to be non-iron and so it is fluid, not scratchy nor stiff. Additionally, you do not feel the texture too much on the inside of the fabric, and so this shirt is as comfortable to wear as any. It has, in my opinion, the perfect amount of weight to it. ![]() The fabric does not show much undershirt beneath it (this is also likely due somewhat to the texture). In short, I love the way this shirt looks. Worn without a jacket at all, the collar points are stiff enough to retain a nice shape (even without a collar stay sometimes), but not too stiff so as to look rigid/weird/floating without a tie.Įverything else about the shirt is standard. The collar point is also over 3.25”, and so it stays very nicely underneath your jacket lapels, both with and without a tie. It is the perfect spread - not too much, not too little - and looks amazing with any tie knot. It is one of the best collars on any shirt I have ever worn, period. ![]() I am also absolutely in love with the collar on this shirt. ![]() I am a big fan of this fabric, and kudos to Spier & Mackay for offering more interesting white fabrics like this, in addition to the usual twills and poplins. It’s also not too over-the-top or loud in any way, and really adds something to what could otherwise be just a boring outfit of a white shirt with a navy suit. The texture is noticeable up close, though from afar, you can’t tell exactly what the texture is - which is a very good thing. I figured that, as I have not really seen a fabric like this before, it was a very cool way to get some personality and uniqueness into an otherwise plain white dress shirt (a staple of my dressy wardrobe). I chose a very cool, diamond weave textured white shirt with a spread collar.
