Cao Vinh, a tailor in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam  recommended a shirt for Andy in New York, NY USA.

Andy, who dresses conservatively, wanted a casual shirt for work. He has brown eyes, dark brown hair, and a fair-to-medium skin tone. He has a round face shape, a normal shoulder slope, and a normal stomach size. He listed blue, green, white, and black as his preferred colors, but did not have any special requests for the tailors.

So, Cao Vinh recommended this shirt to Andy, and said:

The Fabric a light blue base with blue & black tattersall check.

“Of your color preferences, I think blue is the best choice for your first shirt. This is because you can wear blue with so many other colors of pants, jackets, shoes, etc. This one have a Tattersall check pattern, and the stripes in alternating colors is very appropriate for a casual occasion. Another thing that make this shirt so appropriate for casual setting is the weave. It is a coarser weave, and due to its heavy weight and texture, you should not wear with a tie. You can wear with bluejeans, or khakis, and a dark grey tweed or black blazer.”

The Collar a close point collar, about 4.6 cm back height.

“You must wear the ‘point’ collar. Because when the points are close together it can create the effect of making your face look less round. The French collar also can do this for you, but I think the French collar is too formal for this.”

The Buttons black

“Black button gives some contrast to the blue so this shirt will have a little bit more depth.”

Dung, a tailor in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam recommended a shirt for Marc in Hilversum, Holland.

Marc, who describes his fashion style as ‘hipster’, wanted a formal shirt for work. He has grey eyes, and a fair skin tone. He has a narrow face shape. He didn’t leave any special requests for the tailors in his request for quotation.

So, Dung recommended this shirt to Marc, and said:

The Fabric a dark neutral multi-colored mixed weave with vertical strips.

“Because you have the grey eye, neutral colors are your best colors. So the black, white, & grey will look very nice against the backdrop of your body’s natural colors. Wear under a light grey sweater or jacket, and a white tie.”

The Collar the medium spread Italian style

“The Italian collar is appropriate for a formal shirt, and the spread of the collar’s points will even out the narrowness of your face.”

The Cuff an angled double cuff

“French cuff for formal uses. The angle give it a little more style. This is appropriate for younger men.”

The Pocket an angled pocket

“angle pocket to match the angle cuff. The details are very important.”

The Buttons grey

“grey buttons just like your eyes!!! But put in some white threading for a contrasting effect.”
