I'm going to make a shirt at bestcustomshirt.com. Looking for guidance on the fabric type (oxford?), collar style, cuff style, pockets (should there even be one?), and front style. What would make it look right with a blazer and jeans? Thank you.

Are you going to tuck it in or leave it out with a sports jacket.

Just asking because I want to get untucked shirts to wear with sports jackets and jeans

I think it looks a bit too "stand up comic" for my tastes. If you wear a blazer you ought to tuck the shirt in. Call me trad but I think I'd probably put a tie with it, with a few exceptions.

I go back and forth but I would say the majority of the time I wear shirts untucked even with sportcoats. You just need to make sure the shirt is short enough.

There's an option to make the tail shorter when you're creating the shirt. I made my first shirt on there a few days ago.

That is a gross blazer so of course it looks bad untucked.
