Our Staple White Shirt Pack

What’s In A Weave?

The weave is simply the way in which the threads of cotton (called warp and weft) are put together to make a fabric. The weave not only affects the way a shirt looks and feels, but also how warm the fabric will be, the way it drapes, how easy it is to iron, and sometimes, where and when it should be worn.

As an example, Twill fabrics like Herringbone are slightly thicker and as such, less transparent and easier to iron, while Chambray and Oxford fabrics are thicker weaves that both result in more casual looks. Broadcloth and Poplin fabrics are slightly thinner with a smooth, flat texture making them the perfect work or dress shirts particularly over the warmer months. Our 3 for $210 white shirt staple pack includes one wrinkle free white twill, one herringbone and one regular twill custom, tailored shirt.

Did You Know?

Before the days you could drop off a week’s worth of dirty shirts for a clean and steam for $12, the challenge of keeping a white shirt stain and wrinkle free was a little more arduous. In fact, the terminology of ‘blue collar’ workers and ‘white collar’ workers was coined from that very issue; those in more lucrative corporate jobs could afford the luxury of having their white shirts cleaned and pressed each day, while those in manual labour opted for (at least, symbolically) the more robust and dirt-proof shades of blue. Politics aside, the white shirt also has a storied history across the silver screen.
