Anything I'm missing on Jantzen shirts?

Too many quirks will look affected, at some point. Make sure you understand exactly what image you want to portray.

I've never been that tempted to go crazy with my Jantzen. My shirts tend to be fairly conservative. I quickly found a few stylistic hallmarks that I liked -- slightly longer cuffs, for example -- and enjoy having shirts made to match. That subtle consistency is one of my favorite parts of Jantzen.

One small word of caution on trying out quirky ideas: I've found that a single wrong choice can ruin a whole shirt. I have a Canali linen shirt that fits great and feels wonderful, but it has contrast buttonholes that keep me from wearing it regularly. Just too distinctive, and a bit flashier than I generally prefer.

That said, Jantzen offers a great chance to try out ideas on a larger, conceptual level. For example, I don't normally wear short-sleeve button-ups, but I had been thinking of having one made in an old-fashioned style, with longer sleeves that flare outward near the elbow. But now I've let it get awfully late in the season for that, I suppose.

Both shirts are very well fitted. The pink shirt does look soft around the neck, I imagine it's great on hot days. With the collar and sleeves up, it makes me think of a moth hit with Mortein

The white shirt's collar is intriguing. As a look, it deserves to really take off - masterminded by a PoW (not POW, unless it's Mendela) or another style icon, which evolves into striped undercollars, spotted undercollars... I fear that will be resisted due to the reaction of many people to a buttoned-up shirt without a tie - it "seems odd". No proper basis for that statement, however. How does the white shirt look when you also wear a tie? I would think you couldn't use a black tie, it would look like a triple Windsor. Perhaps a red tie. It's a great party shirt. I like it. Please make it mainstream

I'm digging those experimental collars.

How about detachable collars? I don't know if anyone's tried that yet.

Don't forget "flowback" cuffs, single link cuffs, etc. Or you could get some bizarre pointed cuffs made that link normally on the palm side but go to a point on the outside. I don't know, just random thoughts. Might be cool looking, who knows.

i like this one very dior homme i have a few very simular to this! all you need now is a unlinned fresco or cream linin coat to go with it

Oh, and the Zegna collar.

Toiletduck, love the no-existant collar look. How did you specify it with Ricky, did he have a readily available template for it?

Thats an interesting look with the collar up

Hey Toiletduck, want to drop by and ask Ricky to make my order?
