Collection: Formal & Dress Shirts

A proper shirt is what makes a suit look like it was meant for you. Our formal and dress shirt range runs from a plain white poplin for a wedding to a patterned button-down for the office — all of it chosen by hand and hanging on the rail at 49 Ashe Street in Tralee.

What's in the range

  • 6th Sense Design — €79.95. Performance and travel fabrics that hold a press through a long day. Collar sizes 15" to 19½".
  • R2 Amsterdam — poplin, fine twill and two-ply cotton in white, blue and navy. The quiet, well-made option.
  • Venti — business shirts, including extra sizes.
  • Gant and Tommy Hilfiger — classic poplin in white and light blue.

Choosing a shirt to wear with a suit

For a wedding or a debs, white and light blue are the safe answers and they photograph well under any light. If the suit is patterned, keep the shirt plain. If the suit is plain, a micro-print or a fine stripe gives the outfit something to look at.

Not sure of your collar size? Call in and we'll measure you. It takes a minute, and it is the difference between a shirt that sits right and one that never quite does.

Finish the outfit
