How to classify shirts? Shirts are tops worn between inner and outer tops or can be worn alone. There were shirts in the Zhou Dynasty in China, called Zhongyi, and later called Zhongdan. In the Han Dynasty, the shirt that was worn close to the body was called the toilet. The name of shirt has been used in the Song Dynasty. So, how are shirts customized? What are the classification methods of shirts? Let’s take a look at the detailed introduction by Guerlain, a custom-made men’s short-sleeved shirt manufacturer in Beijing.
How to classify shirts:
(1) Classification by collar (relationship between shirt collar and tie) Shirts can usually be classified by the shape of the collar, the material used and the pattern. Let’s start with the collar first.
Standard collar: A collar that is not “extreme” in length and opening angle, and is generally called a “standard collar”.
Colored collar: Refers to a plain or striped shirt with a white collar, and some cuffs are also made white
Concealed button collar: A shirt collar with push buttons sewn on the left and right collar tips, a tie passing through the push buttons, and a buttoned collar.
Open-angle collar: The angle of the left and right collars is between 120 and 180 degrees, also known as “Windsor collar”.
Button collar: A shirt collar in which the tip of the collar is fixed to the body with buttons, a typical American style shirt.
Long point collar: Compared with standard collar shirts, the collar point is longer and is often used as a classical style dress shirt.
(2) Classification from patterns: There are countless shirt patterns. Being familiar with common patterns will go a long way in matching suits and ties.
Thick vertical stripes: refers to the pattern of thick vertical stripes at equal intervals, and the thin stripes are about half a millimeter.
Pencil streaks: Lines that are very thin, as if drawn with a pencil. It has an honest impression and is often used as a material for dress shirts.
Alternating vertical stripes: Two vertical stripes interleave with each other, and the intersection of red and blue on a white background is more common.
Tattersall pattern: a pattern in which two thin stripes cross each other horizontally and vertically. Red and black stripes on a white background are more common.
Multi-Colored Checkered: Originally a traditional clothing pattern of the Scots. It is characterized by the fact that it is woven with the same number of dyed cotton threads horizontally and vertically. Mostly used as material for casual shirts.
Paisley: A pattern that uses swirls as a theme and spreads them. It is versatile and often used as a tie pattern.
(3) According to the classification of clothing materials (all kinds of cotton clothing materials), they are all cotton clothing materials. Depending on the thickness of the cotton thread and the weaving method, the shirts made of different materials will have different tactile and visual effects.
Chambray: A light and thin cotton shirting material made of dyed cotton threads vertically and white cotton threads horizontally. Light and soft, slightly shiny, the most common is a combination of blue cotton thread and white cotton thread.
Oxford cloth: Commonly used material for button-down shirts. It is plain weave with thicker texture. The colors include white, blue, pink, yellow, green, gray, etc., most of which are light colors. Soft, breathable and durable, it is deeply loved by young people.
Striped plain cloth: shirt material woven with dyed cotton thread and bleached cotton thread. The colors are mostly white and red, white and blue, white and black, etc. It can be used as a sports shirt or a dress shirt.
Fine cloth: A common shirt material, usually white. The finer the cotton thread used, the softer the hand feel. High-grade fine woven fine cloth has an almost silky feel. The shirts made are mostly used for formal occasions such as formal wear.
