There are two main categories of shirts: casual shirts, for casual use (weekends, holidays, afterwork, evenings, or informal settings) and formal shirts intended to be worn in a formal setting: at the office, during a date, an evening, a dinner, an event, a wedding, an interview. These are shirts intended to be worn tucked into the trousers.
The First Sleeve Formal Shirt
The key materials are poplin, oxford, twill, pinpoint, herringbone, thread or dobby. If we had to compare each fabric, each fabric to its particularities. If it's a very simple office shirt, poplin will do the trick; if you need a shirt that is slightly thicker and less wrinkled, silkier, go for the twill or the chevron; If you need more mottled colors, take a thread by thread and if the texture should not be smooth, it is towards oxford or pinpoint or even dobby that you will have to go: our desire is to offer you a varied choice whatever your preferences of fabrics. The formal collar is an open or cut-away Italian collar, perfect with a tie, not too open or too closed and suitable for all types of face.
The First Sleeve Formal Shirt
The formal shirt is the core business of Première Manche since 2017 we have been trying to design clothes that will be like a second skin for you. The initial idea of the brand was to offer everyone who needs shirts for everyday life a very high-end set of shirts that could be worn not only at the office or at formal events, but also after the working day, i.e. after work or in parties. At the time, already in the textile industry, we were horrified to see that brands were selling average fabrics for more than 100€ or downright bad fabrics for 60€. We then launched a range of good unisex shirts (casual or formal) at discounted prices to go to the office without breaking the bank. Not only was the fabric of very good quality, but the finishes were exceptional thanks to the very strict specifications sent to the factory. Since then, the collections have improved every year and we have arrived at a strong model with always unbeatable prices. Those who come to us after testing everything know that there is no better value for money on the market. Our collection of formal shirts is composed of fabrics in poplin, twill, thread to thread, herringbone, dobby, among others.
The characteristics of a formal shirt
A beautiful formal shirt is first and foremost a beautiful material and cuts that suit the greatest number of people.
It can be worn with everything
Our formal shirts are perfect with any type of suit and with or without a tie, the collar opening is standard, a single or double or even triple bow will do. The materials remain classic, our shirts can be worn with chinos or even jeans.
And the price in all this?
We work hard to offer the best value for money. We have close partnerships with our factories and constantly monitor the quality of our products (from fabrics to finishes) with a view to becoming the reference site for affordable luxury formal shirts.
