Hi mate, these are the basic difference . I am yet to come across a RTW dress shirt with soft collar and cuffs from a reputable brand. And for the sake of comfort most days at work I wear conservatively colored fabric sports shirts (HB/RL /lacoste has sports shirts looks like dress shirts minus the hard collar/cuffs).

Why would MTM etc matter? If you have a bespoke bowling shirt made it's still a bowling shirt.

Then those would probably qualify as dress shirts to most people.

You're applying categorical rules where they do not apply. I'm wearing a pretty dang soft collared white pinpoint oxford right now, and apart from the brits, most everybody would consider it a dress shirt.

The inclusion of a pocket on the chest is usually a good sign.

My comment was poorly phased; I meant that collar and cuff softness is not a reliable indicator of formality for a MTM/bespoke shirts since these can be specified by the person commissioning the garment. I wasn't talking about the overall styling of the shirt, as you are correct that a casual bowling shirt will also be a bowling shirt, whether RTW or MT/bespoke.

Really? My experience with some of the better Italian RTW makers (e.g. Borrelli, Truzzi, Kiton, etc.) tend to have relatively softer cuffs and collars.
