When you’re trying to get the perfect jackets and jackets look, don’t you tend to focus on the jacket, the tie, and the chief? In fact, it is extremely important to choose the perfect “shirt” when wearing jackets. The style required for “jackets” will vary greatly depending on the scene, such as “everyday business attire,” “stylish attire for parties,” and “a winning look for important presentations or dates. In this issue, we will introduce the requirements for shirts necessary to complete a higher-ranked jacket style in everyday business situations!

Condition 1: “Shirts should be true to size. If you can choose the neck circumference and sleeve-break length independently, you can rest assured!”
Just the right size is essential. If you are looking for the perfect size in shirts, of course you can consider full-order or custom-order shirts, but isn’t it a bit difficult to get a custom-made shirt for everyday work wear? We recommend that you choose shirts that are not custom-made, but that allow you to select the neck and sleeve length independently. Avoid shirts with rough size designations such as ” S/M/L ” if possible! This is the basic rule. Be careful, because there are many so-called high-class shirts that have a fixed length from the neck to the sleeve-column!
Condition 2 “Select a shirt with a silhouette that balances well with jackets and slacks.
If your suit is slim but your shirt is loose, or if your suit is classic but your shirt is super tight, the balance is not right and you will not get a sophisticated atmosphere. The current trend in jackets and suits, as observed at Pitti Uomo in Italy, is to return to the classics, and the “tight-fitting, butt-exposing jacket” is a product of the past. The royal road to success is a moderately slim jacket or suit, so it is correct to choose a model with a similar silhouette for shirts!
Condition 3: “Poly blend shirts are a no-no; cotton is the basic material.” uktsc
Polyester blend shirts, or polyester blend shirts, should be avoided. Polyester blended shirts have the advantage of being washable at home and having shape memory that does not require ironing, but they tend to get stuffy and, as is the fate of chemical fibers, have a poor texture. Repeated washing and cleaning can cause the poly-blend fabric to easily form pilling, which can greatly detract from its cool appearance. If you are aiming for a higher grade of jackets, 100% cotton is a requirement.
Condition 4: “Cotton varies widely! Choose extra-long cotton.”
Anything 100% cotton is not OK. There are conditions that must be met for cotton, the raw material of cotton fabric.
There are numerous types of cotton depending on its origin and variety, but the one we should choose is ” extra-long staple cotton. While picked cotton is generally about 20 mm long, extra-long staple cotton is an average of 35 mm or more. Although it accounts for only 3% of all cotton harvested in the world, the difference is obvious. In terms of appearance, it has a natural luster like silk, and in addition, it is highly durable and resists shedding even after repeated cleaning.
Condition 5: “The important set-in sleeves are the hallmark of a high-quality shirt that doesn’t skimp on the invisible.”
The so-called “set-in sleeves” are a retrofit of the shirt. This creation is essential for creating a three-dimensional silhouette and comfort. Imagine the movement of your arms when you work or commute to work. There are so many movements in business such as “operating a computer at a desk,” “exchanging business cards,” “gesturing during a business meeting or presentation,” “grasping a strap,” “operating a steering wheel when driving,” etc. By incorporating this detail, the sleeve area does not stick out, leading to a stress-free and natural standing posture. This detail will lead to a natural and stress-free appearance. This is a detail that cannot be found on inexpensive shirts because it requires a lot of work.
Condition 6: “The “makibusei” stitch improves the wearability of the shirt.
This is also a detail that cannot be seen from the front, but it greatly influences the feeling of wear and durability of the shirt. Shirts that use a tucked-in stitching system are stress-free when moving and more durable, which is a good thing. It is also a detail that shows the difference in the attitude of the manufacturer, who does not cut corners even in places that cannot be seen.
Condition 7: “The three-dimensionality of the shirt’s gutter is important.
The correct answer is to choose a shirt that gives a three-dimensional impression around the neck both when wearing a tie and when not wearing a tie. This is a matter of whether the shirt designer, called a modelist, has an excellent design or not. You can check whether the shirt has a three-dimensional effect around the neckline when you put it on and look at it from the side.
Condition 8: “Choose a shirt brand that focuses on wide collars and horizontal collars.
Compared to the rest of the world, regular and button-down shirts sell well in the Japanese market, but in Italy and other European countries, wide collars and horizontal collars are the main stream of shirt collars that are considered elegant. The reason for this is that they fit well into the lapel of a jacket when worn with or without a tie, giving a sophisticated impression. When we look at the jackets of male fashionistas attending Pitti Uomo, we see that most of them wear dress shirts with wide collars and horizontal collars. It is unwise to choose a shirt brand that is apologetically placed on the edge of regular or button-down collars.
Condition 9: “Plastic buttons are a no-no!
Although it is a small detail, it is important to pay attention to the buttons as well. First of all, the button material should be genuine shellfish. The natural shine, which is not present in cheap plastic buttons, will give the shirt a luxurious look. And if possible, choose a shirt with buttons attached with a raven’s foot stitch, which is often seen on Classico Italia shirts, to create a subtle sense of luxury. The cuffs and the front part of the shirt are especially visible to the eye when worn without a tie, so we recommend that you use the ” real shell button with bird’s-foot stitching ” to subtly make a difference!
What is “bird’s foot stitching”? What is “bird’s foot stitching”? Since it is not possible to sew by machine, it is a hand-sewing operation.
Condition 10: “The price should be within 6,500 yen, considering the price balance with the jacket.
When it comes to daily business use, isn’t good cost performance an essential point? Although the number of people who order business suits is gradually increasing, those who order jackets and slacks for business jackets are in the minority, and even those who have two or three suits of Italian factory brands are not so many. I think there are only a few people who order jackets and slacks for their business use. Given this, most people will probably spend less than ” 70,000 yen total for a jacket + slacks. If possible, it is best to keep the price of shirts within 6,500 yen.
However, for sensitive men, “cheap or bad shirts” are nonsense. 6,000 yen or less shirts that meet the design and quality requirements are very few, so it is a test of your ability to select shirts carefully.
The Manly Man Institute’s recommended shirts are these!
We have carefully selected shirts that meet the above 10 conditions. The conditions are so strict that there are very few shirts in the world that can meet the last condition of less than 6,500 yen, but we have selected the shirts that meet the above 10 conditions. Antonio Laverda, known to have many fans among apparel industry people, has cleared all the conditions. The brand was created by a former modelist for Girover, a high-end Italian shirt brand, who teamed up with The Suit Company, and we are always amazed by its quality at a surprisingly low price. Between you and me, most of the shirts that The Suit Company employees buy seem to be Laverda.
