Some New Linen Dress Shirts For Summer

The last one almost looks like my Linen: Pale Blue End-on-End without my one-piece collar. Can't wait for the arrival!

 

[Holdfast]

Rounding out my summer shirt collection:

1x Ivory White Broadcloth 120/2

1x Ivory White Broadcloth 120/2

1x Black Maroon Tattersall Madras

1x Maroon Cool Linen Cotton

1x Persian Green Cool Linen Cotton

1x Peach Casual Oxford

1x Cream Dress Herringbone

The linen-cottons will have one-piece collars, the peach a spread collar with coconut buttons, the cream herringbone and one of the ivory white will be french-cuff w/spread collars and the tattersall will have a military vibe with two chest pockets and shoulder epaulettes (I've also shortened it and straightened the hem so I can wear it untucked). The other ivory white will be a bit different, as I've requested a mandarin collar (with a split at the centre-front) and a higher collar band than normal.

Last order for a while I think!!

How do people go about ordering swatches of fabrics?

 

[scrolls]

Maybe a stupid question, but what exactly is a one-piece collar? Well, I assume it's all one piece, but what is the aesthetic difference and pros/cons vs a regular collar?

My next luxire shirt will combine elements of most of the collars you highlighted. It will be one piece, with a wide spread and hidden buttons with soft lining and no fusing, just like the Ring Jacket shirt and Finamore below:

Old post but the pics should answer your question

Thanks, I kind of like that. I feel like a one-piece NOBD 1 would look great on a casual shirt.

That's exactly my next project

Put the list of swatches in your additional requests field, and then add the "Additional Service" product so you can pay for them. Add $1 per swatch.

Do you have to order a shirt in order to get the swatches? Is there an option for additional services elsewhere?

Blue university stripe ordered...

 

[Nakedsnake]

Placed an order for an pretty unique shirt on April 12th. I have been charged for it already, but I think that's only because I used PayPal. I'll keep the thread up to date with the timeline, as well as the finished product.

You have to pay for shipping if you're just ordering swatches, which makes it rather uneconomical.

However:
Place "Additional Service" in your cart.
Go to cart.
Add list of swatches to "Notes" field.

Today the Linen: Pale Blue End-on-End and the Linen: Natural Ecru Heavy Vintage from the Linen-Discounts finally arrived.



The shirt is awsome, the one-piece-collar is almost exactly like I wanted it.



Just the curve at the transition from the viritual collar band to the points should have been like this (G. Inglese collar):



The fabric is very nice - breathable, light but just enough substance so the skin tone doesn't show through. Fit is a bit loose than the other shirts becaus it's meant for summer, but I didn't wash or iron it yet. It's the first time I got the Premium MOP buttons, but in future orders I'll switch back to the thin standard buttons.

The trousers are really heavy, really slubby, but the feel is great. Unfortunately the waist and the legs are too big, Maybe my mistake or because I measured flat-front trousers with belt-loops but ordered one with pleats and Daks side adjusters. The waist shouldn't be a problem for my tailor, but I'm a bit hesitate for the legs since I went for button cuffs. Other and that I'm very pleased with this one.

Fit (straight out of the box)

is the one piece collar hidden button down? I'm thinking of getting one like this. Care to share your order#?

 

[luxire]

For hidden button-down, we also offer the option of magnets. We will make a small pocket on the underside of the collar for the magnet. You can insert the magnet in it and attach another to the inside of the shirt body.

Magnets will be provided too, 4 for $10.
