A Practical Denim Fabric

Dress Shirt Details
It adopts a simple button-down collar at the neckline. The sizing around the neck is set to ensure it doesn’t come undone even when tied up, making it suitable for wearing under jackets and other garments.

The back features a split yoke, where two pieces of fabric are sewn together at the center of the back to fit the curvature of the shoulders. This design wraps around the back naturally and the use of fabric on the bias (diagonal) gives it elasticity, making shoulder movement easier.

The flared hem creates an A silhouette when worn, and the two pleats extending from the cuffs create a natural drape and a relaxed feel.

A Perfect Balance
With a comfortable width that provides just the right amount of room while avoiding a cumbersome look, this silhouette exudes an adult’s sense of ease. It’s a versatile item that can be worn as both an inner shirt for a jacket and as a casual shirt when worn untucked.
