Office shirt perfected

Quality fabric

If you’re into extravagant office shirts to match your purple velvet jacket and pointy leather shoes, then this office shirt is not for you. This superior quality 80’s Two Ply Pinpoint Oxford Cloth – woven especially for Everman – is classy, yes, but it’s also the masculine and durable choice of shirt fabrics. It’s not shiny like twill, but not as flat as broadcloth. It holds its shape beautifully without being too stiff. It drapes nicely without being droopy. And best of all, it has a lightly textured weave that gives it its ruggedness up close. No wonder it’s the most popular fabric for the office environment.

No “easy iron” treatment has yet been developed that lasts longer than a limited amount of washes. As soon as it does, we’ll look into it.

English Spread Collar

The nuances in shirt collar design has a surprising impact on the shirt’s look, and the different types are endless. Cutaway Collars, Straight Point Collars, President Collars, Franklin Collars… the list goes on until it’s almost absurd. There is however a reliable classic – The English Spread collar. The spread is not too wide, the point is not too long, the collar band is not too fat. It can handle large and small tie-knots easily, it looks good unbuttoned, and it frames thin and wider faces equally well. We have used the very best interlining, expertly applied, to fuse the collar to hold its shape and ensure durability, backed-up with removable collar stays.

Split yoke

A split yoke at 45° allows for stretch movement in the shoulders. This is because it takes advantage of the fact that high quality cotton fabric only stretches diagonally, but not vertically or horizontally. It also gives a cleaner aesthetic in a patterned shirt by aligning the pattern at the join of the sleeve with the shoulder. In short, it allows you to look your best while winning at paperball cricket in the office on Friday afternoons.

Long hem

That pain-in-the-neck office shirt you battle with all day in a tuck-in tuck-out duel? Its hem is too short. Its designer probably made it so that you can wear it untucked when you like. This is a fine idea with casual shirts and straight hems, but we like our office shirt long enough to remain tucked in all day, rounded at the front and back to make tucking in easier.

Shank button

Our buttons are of a high quality, crack resistant plastic resin – standard but perfect. The magic however, is in our shank. If you’ve read all the way to this point, then you’re obviously the kind of man who enjoys the details, and dog garnit are you going to love this! Our research into what makes the perfect office shirt lead us to new Swiss technology called Ascolite Button Shanks. To put it into perspective, in the world of classy buttons, this discovery is the equivalent of Wilbur and Orville’s discovery of the aerodynamic propeller. Using a specialised machine, a shank button is sewn on with tension in the thread that contains an elastic filament, which is then sealed by thermo-fusion.  It gives the button three key advantages: long term durability, ease-of-use and neatness. No more buttons loosening over time and falling off, no more scrappy loose ends, and no more hassle buttoning your buttons. Eat dirt White Stripes.
