Shirts w/ pattern on inside of cuff / collar

[Mattg6]

Does anyone have brand suggestions for shirts with patterns on the inside of the cuffs/collar?

J Mclaughlin is an example that comes to mind: http://www.jmclaughlin.com/mtops-page1.html

I'm not crazy about the look but Ted Baker and Etro shirts are like this.

I should think any MTM or bespoke shirt maker should be able to do this for you.

I'm not a fan of these type of shirts, they seem very late nineties. But if you're bound and determined to wear them you could go with Robert Graham or Etro...not familiar with any other brands that do that.

They seem to be a signature feature on Emmett shirts:

I think they are a nice touch, when the trim is tastefully coordinated.

+1 for the Robert Graham suggestion, they do make a ton of them and they are well constructed. Caution: Its roughly two years into the fashion trend so burn-out is imminent.

[David Reeves]

Paul Smith and Duncan Quinn.

Just about everyone with a figment of a notion of fashion has done it recently, even Banana Republic some seasons.

I associate this with late 90s/early 2000s but will not seem to go away. Usually I would prefer it if the maker put the extra attention to the cloth and construction.

Or maybe just went the whole hog:


It's a screen shot from a DVD and I apologise for getting my mouse pointer in the shot.

Is that shirt from BB? You can even get the pants as well !! I dont know what happens when you wear both together ;-)


One of the things I dont like about the contrasting material is that sometimes I really like the outside material, its color or print, but I dont like the interior material. I wonder if these shirt makers understand the risk of introducing a reason to not buy a shirt. I guess for every time I get turned off by the contrasting material choice 100 fashionistas lunge towards the cash register. Maybe this is why I only own one of them - A Robert Graham that fairly subdued.


...hey I like that tag line at the bottom of your post, where have I seen that before?

+1 Robert Baker, and you can snag them more reasonably on Sierra TP. Well-made though. Also, Z-Brand, but they're trending toward borderline Disco.

one of my clients has every single one of his shirts made with the underside of the collars & cuffs in a different fabric. He has introduced a number of his friends to his way too and they have great fun competing for the best combinations!

Also, for weddings this has proved extremely popular, extremely smart white with a touch of personalisation cunningly hidden away!

There are some photos on my gallery if you fancy a look at what can be done

Maybe I am missing something here. If the design is on the inside of the cuff and collar, it is not really visible unless someone has their sleeves rolled up, right? So what's the big deal of whether or not it is "in" style right now or will fade out in a few years?
To me, it seems like the same thing as getting colorful lining on the inside of a suit jacket. It's kind of a cool detail, but nobody will really see it.

Lucy Adams does a lot of that, though I think that her US visit along with English Cut's has just ended, so you can't get measured for some time.

[Mithras]

+1 for Robert Graham as well. Well made shirts (reasonably) and I always get lots of positive comments when I wear one of them.

For something with jeans or if you're going out to a club, they are fine. wouldn't wear them with a sut though!

[Shirtmaven]

I have been doing that for at least 10 years.
Rufus does them as well.

Another Robert Graham vote.

You are correct Lucy has just returned from NY. She got back on 29th March.

As the OP is in NY, surely CEGO would be a good choice?

. . . has a few:

As already mentioned, you can check out Robert Graham. However, if you choose to wear one of his shirts, you must wear it confidently. Also, Steinmart has a line very similiar to RG. They may be Alan Flusser or another store brand, but they look pretty good.

I know these shirts are nothing but a fashion trend and that has also been stated, but they are fun to wear with a pair of jeans on the weekend. I dress fairly conservative and traditional 99% of the time, but sometimes it is nice to throw a little"funk" into the mix.

I obviously still have a lot to learn.

You guys are the style gurus who know everything about clothes, whether it's okay to button your trousers one handed and the best way to iron your shoelaces. So when so many of you recommend Robert Graham shirts I have to pay attention. Over on the Robert Graham website I read, ... Robert Graham sets the tone for the, upbeat "with it", consumer. (gratuitous comma in the original).

And how does he do that?



Enough said.

For me, I was merely suggesting the poster, if he was in the market for a shirt with contrasting collar and cuffs, that he should take a look at the Robert Graham shirts. I don't believe anyone who suggested or recommended RG would be in 100% agreement with the overall style/fashion philosophy of Robert Graham. Yes, some of the shirts are a bit over the top, (ok ok, a lot of them are) but then again, they weren't designed to be worn in boardrooms (or at least I would not wear them there).

Thank you for your kind words. You are quite the gentleman. I certainly was not offended by your comments. Believe me, the opinions on this forum especially when it comes to attire such as Robert Graham varies greatly. I personally don't own any Robert Graham shirts (I can't afford them). I do, however, have a couple of shirts that I call my "rock and roll" shirts with various patterns on them. These shirts are much more subdued than RG. I personally don't see how anyone could wear these shirts all the time. My eyes would go crosseyed
