00:00 Introduction

DRESS SHIRT QUALITY HALLMARKS

01:09 1. Pattern
If the pattern is matched on the sleeve and the shoulder on both sides, you know it's a quality shirt because someone paid attention to it.

02:05 2. Stitching & Stitch Density
The higher the stitch density, the higher the quality of the shirt overall. Also, you want to look for consistency of the stitching. The best way to look at the stitching is at the bottom hem where it's round.
A quality shirt will always have a single needle stitching which takes a little more time but creates a cleaner look. On the other hand, a low-end shirt will double needle stitching

03:27 3. Collar & Cuffs
A lower end shirt will typically have a stiff interlining in the collar and it just comes in one level of stiffness. On the other hand, a higher-end shirt will either give you an option to go with a softer interlining or something stiffer.

05:09 4. Yoke
Traditionally, they were split in half because people usually have one shoulder that is usually more sloped than the other and they use that part to correct that. Today, most factory made shirts and even made to measure shirts don't even take that into consideration anymore so all you can look at is the yoke split in the back. if so, it's another step, it's more expensive, it helps to match the pattern on the sleeve and it's basically all it is.

05:49 5. Buttons
A $30 shirt will likely have plastic buttons and they're sometimes made to look like mother of pearl.

07:09 Shank or No Shank
The next detail to look at is how the button is actually sewn onto the shirt.

08:07 6. Sleeves & Armholes
Most of the time, relatively inexpensive shirts or low-end shirts have huge armholes and that makes them uncomfortable to wear because as soon as you lift your arms, everything moves up and becomes uncomfortable.

08:38 7. Machine-Sewn vs. Hand-Sewn Buttonholes
If you have a machine buttonhole that was first sewn and then cut, you have fraying edges on the inside and it just looks bad. On the other hand, a high-quality machine sewn buttonhole has a very high stitch density and you will not find fraying threads.
