Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a tailored fit and a slim fit shirt?

A tailored fit shirt offers a streamlined silhouette that sits perfectly between a regular and a slim fit. It is gently tapered at the waist to provide a sharp look without being overly restrictive. In contrast, a slim fit is cut much closer to the body across the chest and arms.

Which shirt brands are best for a non-iron finish?

We highly recommend Eterna for those seeking a high-quality non-iron shirt. Their shirts use premium cotton that naturally resists creasing throughout the day. This makes them an ideal choice for busy professionals or frequent travel.

How do I choose the right collar size for a formal shirt?

Measure around the base of your neck where the collar naturally sits. For a comfortable fit, ensure you can place two fingers easily between the measuring tape and your neck. This guarantees the shirt looks sharp when buttoned with a tie.

Can I wear a tailored shirt for both formal and casual occasions?

Yes, our collection prioritises versatility. A crisp white or pale blue tailored shirt is a timeless staple for weddings and business meetings. For a relaxed setting, wear the same shirt with the collar open paired with chinos or premium denim.

How should I care for my formal shirts to ensure they last?

We recommend washing formal shirts at a maximum of 30 or 40 degrees. Avoid tumble drying to preserve the fabric integrity and collar structure. Hang your shirts immediately after washing to reduce the need for heavy ironing.
