Men's Button-Down Shirt with Checkered Contrast Trim — Product Details

How to measure

Use a soft measuring tape and take measurements over a thin layer (undershirt). Keep the tape level and relaxed — not pulled tight. Record inches and centimetres (1 in = 2.54 cm).

• Chest — Measure around the fullest part of your chest, under the armpits and across the shoulder blades. Keep the tape horizontal. (Tip: measure while standing naturally with arms relaxed.)
• Waist — Measure around the narrowest part of your torso (natural waist) or where you normally wear your trousers. Keep tape snug but not tight.
• Neck — Measure around the base of your neck where the collar sits. Allow one finger between tape and neck for comfort if you want a looser fit.
• Sleeve length — With arm relaxed at your side, measure from the center back of your neck (high point of shoulder) across the shoulder to the outer wrist bone. Alternatively, measure from the shoulder seam to wrist for a shorter measurement reference.
• Shoulder width — Measure from shoulder seam to shoulder seam straight across the back at the widest point where the sleeve meets the body.
• Shirt length — Measure from the high point of the shoulder (next to the neck) straight down to where you want the hem to sit (mid-hip for untucked, lower hip for tucked wear).
• Bicep — Measure around the fullest part of the upper arm with the arm relaxed.

Compare these measurements to a shirt that fits you well for the best match. If you plan to layer over a tee/sweater, add 1–2 inches (2.5–5 cm) of ease to chest and sleeve measurements.

Materials (typical for this style)

Check the garment label for exact composition. Common materials used for a button-down with checkered contrast trim include:

• Shell (body) — 100% cotton poplin or oxford: breathable, soft, crisp drape. May show light wrinkles but is comfortable and breathable.
• Shell (blend) — Cotton/polyester blends (e.g., 60/40): more wrinkle-resistant, durable and easier to care for; slightly less breathable than pure cotton.
• Contrast trim (checkered) — Lightweight woven cotton or cotton-blend: used on inner collar, placket and cuff roll; chosen for color and visual detail.
• Buttons — Resin or mother-of-pearl style; durable but handle mother-of-pearl with care to avoid chipping.
• Interfacing — Lightweight fused or sewn interfacing in collar and cuffs to maintain shape.

Material notes: pure cotton will soften with wear and may shrink slightly on the first wash; blends are lower-maintenance but may trap a bit more heat. If colorfastness is a concern, wash inside-out on first wash.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

Follow the garment care label first. Below are general, safe care steps for common shirt materials:

• Pre-wash preparation: Close buttons and turn the shirt inside out to protect the contrast trim and button finish. Treat fresh stains promptly.
• Washing: Machine wash cold or warm on a gentle cycle with like colors. Use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach unless label permits bleaching safe whites.
• Drying: Hang to dry or tumble dry on low. Remove promptly from dryer to reduce wrinkles. High heat can shrink natural fibers and damage trims.
• Ironing: Iron inside-out at the appropriate temperature for the fabric (medium for cotton, low for blends). Use steam for stubborn creases and avoid direct high heat on interfacing and buttons.
• Stain removal: For oil-based stains use a gentle degreasing agent; for ink or dye transfer test treatments on an inconspicuous area first; avoid rubbing too hard on the trim to prevent color loss.
• Storage: Hang on a shaped hanger to keep shoulders crisp. Button the top one or two buttons to preserve collar shape. Keep away from prolonged direct sunlight to prevent fading.
• Special notes: If the shirt includes delicate trims or mother-of-pearl buttons and the label allows, consider professional laundering or gentle hand washing for best longevity.

Style tips

• Casual — Wear untucked over dark jeans or chinos. Roll sleeves to reveal the checkered trim for a relaxed, intentional detail.
• Smart-casual — Tuck into tailored chinos, add a leather belt and loafers or derby shoes. Leave the top button open for a relaxed office look.
• Layering — Under a lightweight V-neck sweater or unstructured blazer: let the collar and the trim peek out for a neat contrast accent.
• Color pairing — Keep the rest of the outfit in complementary solids to let the checkered trim stand out. Pull one color from the trim into your accessories (belt, watch strap, socks) for cohesion.
• Occasions — Versatile for daytime events, casual Friday at the office, weekend dinners, and smart-casual gatherings. Swap sneakers for dress shoes to elevate the look.
• Fit & proportion — Ensure shoulder seams align with your shoulders and sleeve length hits the wrist bone. For a cleaner silhouette, opt for a tailored fit; for comfort, choose regular or relaxed sizing.

Always refer to the shirt's sewn-in care label and sizing chart for the most accurate guidance. These tips help preserve shape, color and the special checkered contrast detail so your shirt looks great longer.
