Private Client - Embroidery On The Cuff

I quite like this, especially when the client has an extra extra long name - a first name, a middle name and then two surnames. Wow, if we actually had to write the name it would have gone around the cuff twice! Thank God it is just the initials. This is a purple gingham in a white windsor collar and a rounded cuff.

Club Collars Are Definitely Back


This look is the next big thing. Club collars are now in fashion and you can't believe the number of requests we are getting for pin holes and club collars. This photo I found on the Sartorialist.

Hot Off The Press - Ouch!


This shirt is so hot I had to stop myself from keeping it for myself! This is reminiscent of Playboy. It is a peaked collar in white with a 2 button mitred cuff with foot stitching on the cuff and red button holes and a nice black white polka dot ribbon stitched into the collar.

Collars Stacked Up High

Here stacked up are a cutaway, a halfway, a peaked and a windsor collar. When you design your shirt with Studio Shirts, keep in mind the kind of usage you are using your shirt for. Some collars suit a certain style better than others. For example, a person who wears a full windsor knot on his/her tie will generally favour a cutaway collar or a super cutaway collar, which spans a bigger space between the top button and the collar point. The reason for this, is that the windsor knot takes up more space than a standard knot, so you need more space for the knot and to show off that beautiful full look of the silk on your tie.

French Cuff Raised Herringbone Shirt By Studio Shirts

This was a 2007 raised herringbone shirt with a rounded French cuff, and a 2.5 inch half way collar that we did. This is one of my favourite herringbone designs because the raised herringbone gives it a texture and depth of field you don't find in a popelin cotton.

One Of My Favourite Signature Shirts From 2006


This was a houndsooth, under collar button down shirt that we produced in 2006. One of my favourite shirts because it holds the collar down in place without showing a button. Further, with a tie it acts like a tab collar.

LISA SHOWS US HER NEW SHIRT - SMOKING!

Sydney Roll Stitching

There is one guy who can actually make the roll stitch in Sydney, his name is Nicholas. Mobile 0413140994. It's very expensive in Australia because of our minimum wages and the time taken to do such a service but you can call him - charges like a wounded bull but he will get the job done.

Roll Stitching According To 'A Suitable Wardrobe'

A LOT OF PEOPLE ASK ME ABOUT THEIR POCKET SQUARES AND I JUST FOUND A PLACE WHICH REALLY KNOWS ABOUT THIS KIND OF STUFF. CLINK THE LINK BELOW.
The Handkerchief's Edge



The best handkerchiefs that a man can carry, or wear in his breast pocket, are Irish linen, meaning the cloth was woven in Ireland where there is more than a thousand years of linen weaving expertise.

Now, linen is a fabric made with some difficulty from the fiber of the flax plant and almost every article made in linen is also made in cotton less expensively. If it were it merely a question of price, no-one would carry or wear linen handkerchiefs however the advantages of linen are that it is stronger than cotton, smoother, and absorbs water rapidly. That means it tends to hold its shape in a jacket pocket, and is better for blowing, or for mopping up a spill.

The best size for a man's linen handkerchief is about 17" on a side. They are made as large as 19 and even 20 inches but the larger sizes tend to be bulky in a jacket pocket.

The design of the handkerchief may be plain or, for some additional cost, patterned but for use in a jacket pocket its most important characteristic is the design of the edges. There are two common finishes. The hemstitched variety in the top photograph are finished by machine.


Hand rolled edges, like the ones in the second photo, require significantly more time to sew and can cost up to twice as much as their hemstitched relations. They also look better on display.

A man may need half a dozen or more handkerchiefs for hygienic purposes but two or three should suffice for display. And as with the rest of his clothing, they should be the best he can afford.

What The Customer Wants He Gets


I have some customers who want all sorts of business on their shirts. This one in particular was a french cuff with a white collar and a placket front - a nice classic shirt for a businessman to wear Monday to Friday. Email me on roger@studioshirts.com.au
