This striped poplin is heavier on the blue than on the white... an excellent shirt for adding a little personality to a jacket or a suit. It's got a modified spread collar with lightweight, fused interlining to lend some structure. (A little inside baseball: the collar point length is designed to sit in perfect harmony with the widths of our ties and our jacket lapels, all 8cm exactly.) The cut is slim but never skinny, with a high armhole for mobility and a shirttail long enough to stay tucked in. It's made with single-needle stitching, 22 stitches/inch, flat-felled seams, and thick, 3.5mm Trocas shell buttons. And while they're designed to look fantastic with a tie, all of our dress shirts can be opened up and worn more casually — in fact, on weekends, we wear them as sport shirts.
