Men Shirt Designs

Some shirt designs to share.. AH is super particular about the nitty gritty stuff of his suit & shirts.. here are some homework we've done.. Majority done by me..

1. must be winged collar.. and AH wants a small-medium winged collar and the tip must look exactly like this.. seemed that winged collar shirts have evolved a bit recently..

2. If pleats are needed, they have to look small, defined & closed to each other.. There are 2 kind of pleat available.. hand woven or machine woven.. machine woven pleats are commonly used as the pleats are consistent & cheaper..

3. Tuxedo dress studs are used in place of buttons here.. Checked out that Taka do sell them but around $100 for a set.. Decided to go to my faithful Gmarket & Ebay to check them out.. found a set of studs + cufflinks for USD$19.. Cheap! now waiting for their arrival..

4. This is considered a big winged tip.. The collar has evolved to go without the conventional bow tie.. so the tip is now bigger.. complimented with an onynx button.. I love how the onynx button matches the shirt.. probably will go hunt for 1.. Decided to go with this design for the evening shirt, but with a smaller winged tip, probably the same as the white tuxedo shirt..

This was the initial suit & shirt design I wanted.. I even emailed the DJ where he has gotten his shirt.. and he gladly replied me that it was from Zara.. Sad to say he bought it last year.. and definitely Zara doesn't have it anymore.. The bowtie is attached to the shirt by the way, not an additional accessory as I thought it was..

If you're interested in the bow tie.. This kind of bow tie is called "Kentucky Colonel Bow Tie".. For the economical one, can get it from People of Asia (POA) in Marina Square.. or order it from Gmarket Korea or Ebay.. Those who can afford better quality one.. can get it from The Executive at Republic Plaza Raffles Place.. Needless to explain why this bow tie is called Kentucky Colonel Bow Tie.. the photo explains itself.. Heee :)
