I guess there is no need for introduction, so let’s cut the chase and move on to the important stuff..
First of all, how to choose a good shirt. ..
Some good shirts at a glance.
Collar bones - a good shirt has a removable collar bones. Most collar bones are made of plastic but some outfitters offer brass collar bones. Whatever they are made of, they give the collar the right curve and prevent the collar tips turning up. This can be particularly important when the shirt is worn with a neck tie.
Split yoke - as people generally have shoulders of different heights, a split yoke can be used to adjust the fit of a shirt precisely to the man's stature. On ready-made shirts split yoke is just a detail and suggests expensive work.
Buttons - traditional buttons are made of mother-of-pearl. Mother-of-pearl buttons are so hard that they will break the needle of sewing machine.
Sleeve - on a good shirt the cloth of the sleeve is pleated several times where it meets the cuff. In addition there is often a small button above the cuff that prevents the sleeve opening up to reveal the arm in an unflattering way. in very good shirts the button holes are horizontal, and not vertical. On the very best shirts it is hand sewn, of course just like the other button holes.
Gusset - a Gusset a triangular piece of material is usually added for reinforcement in the corner between the breast and the back. This detail can be seen in all good shirts.
