Our shirts are intentionally long to remain tucked in. Long Sleeves are regular length unless the sleeve length selected is 36/37” These long sleeves also have Tall Length bodies.

Fabrics

Altus MID-WEIGHT | POLYESTER SPANDEX | STRETCH AND EASY CARE | OPEN POCKET

The synthetic performance yarns are woven as a micro twill weave for a traditional dress shirt look and feel while offering the easy care and stretch advantages of this performance fabric. Cool to the touch. Durable. Weight is between the Cirrus and Tropo. More synthetic feel than our other fabrics.

Brooks MID-WEIGHT | 39% BAMBOO 57% POLYSTER 4% SPANDEX

Naturally Cool, Spandex for Stretch, Soft and Smooth - Open Pocket
Added to the lineup for a luxury option. The Brooks is an exceptionally soft and cool fabric with stretch added for comfort. Polyester is blended in for strength and wrinkle resistance. Bamboo is stronger than rayon and similar to cotton but with less propensity to wrinkle.

Cirrus MID-WEIGHT 65% POLYESTER 35% COTTON

Soft and comforting combed cotton is blended with a polyester core to provide easy care without any chemical finishing. This traditional mid-weight twill has a soft surface without giving up the structured feel commonly expected in a pilot shirt. The Cirrus provides an optimal balance of durability, wrinkle-resistance, and comfort.

Tropo HEAVY-WEIGHT | POLYESTER RAYON SPANDEX | TONS OF STRETCH & EASY CARE | OPEN POCKET

The Tropo has been part of our line for over 10 years as it has a devoted following that love the comfort, ease of care, and the smooth modern look it provides; however, it is not as durable as our other fabrics due to surface pilling. The Tropo is paired with open pockets.

Eyelets

wing eyelets

Eyelets are button holes positioned to make your pin placement more consistent and to eliminate damage to the surrounding fabric.

Torso Reductions

Tailored torso

Customized shirts are not eligible for returns or exchanges. When Tailored Torso is selected, we will, based on your selection, remove 1 to 3 inches on the round. We begin with zero change at the armpit and taper it down from there to the hem. This means if you take out 1 inch (2.2cm) it is the equivalent of pinching off ¼” from each side. Be careful to give yourself some ease. Fitting it all the way down to your body is not generally a good look even for the die hard fitness crowd.
