In terms of design/pattern, I would say this is probably the best shirt SJC has made so far (that said, I am waiting for some more polka dot shirts in the lovely cotton sateen).

I'm confused about fit
 when I emailed you said these shirts shrink about an inch in both length and width. But I've just looked at the original thread on this shirt and there you said the prototype only shrank about a cm with a boil wash. So..... Will it shrink a whole inch, and in both length and width? If so, are the measurements on the website the measurements pre-shrinkage or post -shrinkage? Please un-confuse me! As it stands the size 15 looks the best fit, but if they are going to shrink a whole inch in every dimension I'll need the 15 1/2.
On these no shrink. But don't boil it please. Cold wash, drip dry. All good.

Wearing my shirt now... everything about it is wonderful. The cut is the best version so far, as is the fit. Well done and thank you Simon, it's fantastic. Now go and make some more!

I am wearing my striped flannel shirt for the first time today. I would agree with the other comments - this is the best fitting SJC shirt so far. Just keep this as a block and change the collar and pockets each time so that customers know exactly what they are getting.

FWIW, wore my dress shirt from the one that came out back with the first tweed suits for the first time at graduation the other day, and it's fantastic, perfectly sized and cut for A 17 ...imo. Would love another run of workshirts with pockets like the first ones - I dug that asymmetrical look. Also the club collars and those cool atomic fleck cloths of last year.... ....the atomic fleck stuff would be worth looking into with a camp-collar too; those fabrics would sell very well to the Rhythm Riot / Rockabilly Rave / Atomic crowd. 
I really liked the fleck fabric, but didn't like the club collar...so, YES to a camp collar!

I love the look of a club collar with a tie, but there's something ubercool about the camp collar when you just want to wear a shirt with the collar open, folded out over the lapels. That fantastic late 40s / early 50s casual look that somehow looks more 'put together' when the collar is designed specifically to be worn like that.

100% agreed Edward, the atomic fabrics in a convertible collar shirt. That would be fabulous.
Open collar fleck shirt would look amazing and provided you keep the design quite understated is a look that spans the 30s-50s.
In terms of a new spearpoint workshirt I would like to see something without stripes next. Something like a neutral cream/tan herringbone weave that is very easy to throw on without a second thought and combine with anything. |
