The 3 button dress shirt collar makes a statement, usually men with high confidence and are interested in fashion dress shirts pick this type of shirt collar.

It’s usually the same height as the tall double button dress shirt collar. The three button collar simply has three buttons instead of two. Pick mens dress shirts with this shirt collar if you have a long neck to make your neck look shorter.

Today, there are many shirt collars available from tailors, but often the most you can get is a 2 button collar. Two buttons already looks bold and does make a statement, but recently I stumbled upon a Japanese tailor who makes three button collars.

The way they have made this is really good and it’s not completely out of this world. Great way to make an extra statement. 

Don’t forget that this is NOT a shirt collar for men with short necks (they will look even shorter with this shirt collar). But this is a great option for the people with longer necks, who are generally the tall type of people. Try going for the classic collar or a similar one with a low height if you are a shorter man.

This is really one of those collars that you can make a statement with as it is very rare and big. Wear the 3 button collar with a blazer, preferably of another color. We also recommend that you get the collar with removeable collar stays.

You can get dress shirts with three button collars at www.ShirtsMyWay.com. At ShirtsMyWay it is possible to design your own shirts and even get them made to measure for a great fit.

Remember these 4 things when buying a fitted shirthttp://www.tailorinstyle.com/463/remember-these-4-things-when-buying-a-fitted-shirt-2/ http://www.tailorinstyle.com/463/remember-these-4-things-when-buying-a-fitted-shirt-2/#comments Tue, 31 May 2011 06:19:15 +0000 af http://www.tailorinstyle.com/463/remember-these-4-things-when-buying-a-fitted-shirt-2/ When trying on your dress shirt either in a store or when getting it from your shirt maker there are a few things you should keep an eye out for if you have intentions on picking what can be considered well fitted custom dress shirts.

  • Shoulder Width

Find the end of your top shoulder bone and make sure that the shoulder seams align with it. Many men wear dress shirts that sag below the shoulders which affects the look of the shirt in other areas as well.

  • Sleeve Length

When standing with your arms at ease down along your arms a fitted dress shirt has a sleeve ending at the top thumb knuckle if the cuff is not buttoned.

  • Waist

Standard sizes tend to have a tent effect around the waist of the shirt. To achieve a normal fit try sitting down with the shirt on and make sure that the waist fabric cannot extend more than a fist size from your stomach. For slim fit dress shirts it should be about half a fist size.

  • Shirt Length

When deciding on a shirt length figure out whether you’ll be tucking your shirt or will keep the shirt untucked. For tucked in mens dress shirts the shirt should end about ½ inch above the end of your pants zipper. For untucked dress shirts it should end about 1 ½ inches above that same spot. This is a subjective matter, however the above mentioned are the norms.

 

All in all, the fully custom fit shirt is your best choice when looking for something that will fit. These shirts are the only ones made entirely for you. though they are often more expensive at offline tailors, shops are offering this quality service online at a lower rate.

  • Shirt Length

For the shirt length you should consider if you are looking for a shirt that is to be tucked in or remain out of your pants. For tucked in mens dress shirts the shirt should end about ½ inch above the end of your pants zipper. For untucked dress shirts it should end about 1 ½ inches above that same spot. This is a subjective matter, however the above mentioned are the norms.

 

With these points in mind, then fully custom shirts are your best choice for a great fit. These shirts are the only ones made entirely for you. Although they are often more expensive at offline tailors, shops are offering this quality service online at a lower rate.

Must Have Dress Shirt Colorshttp://www.tailorinstyle.com/30/must-have-dress-shirt-colors/ http://www.tailorinstyle.com/30/must-have-dress-shirt-colors/#comments Thu, 27 Mar 2008 07:06:52 +0000 admin http://www.tailorinstyle.com/must-have-dress-shirt-colors/ camiceria-botteri.pngPink
A must have shirt color for the modern man. This works well with all skin types, but especially with darker tones. Don’t listen to those ‘biker boys’ who think pink is for sissys. It portrays confidence and shows that you dare to be a bit different.
Be sure, though, not to get the bright pink version, it has to be toned down a bit.

Black
This is great for almost any occasion and fits well with almost all typical pant colors. It looks great and is especially good for those who have dark hair and lighter skin. A slim fitting black shirt is a great option if you have a body to go along with it.les-hommes-yoox.png

White
Well you can not have a wardrobe without the white shirt. Although not that exciting, a good quality one with some light white patterns can be a good touch. We suggest just get one of these as you don’t want to have too bland of a wardrobe.

Fresh / Classic Blue
This is the most popular dress shirt out there and not without a reason. This works great for work, this blue has an aura of professionalism to it and works well with a vast range of ties and jackets. Have at least a few of these if you work in a typical office setting.

Light Gray
Although often an overlooked color in mens wardrobes, it works great as both a casual and work shirt. This subtle gray goes well with a black suit or trousers.
