Two-ply Egyptian cotton makes for one incredibly comfortable dress shirt you'll want to wear well beyond 9-5.

Fabric
Egyptian cotton is a particular variety that is grown in only a few other places. It is renowned as some of the best in the world. It has an extra long staple. which means it has longer fibers. resulting in a silkier. more durable fabric. Poplin. sometimes called broadcloth. is a plain weave which means the threads alternately cross over and then under each other. This results in a very smooth and durable fabric that has an almost silky hand feel. particularly with higher thread counts. Also. poplins look very crisp when ironed.
Sizing
Hugh & Crye dress shirts use a sizing system based on body types. They're ready-made. fitted shirts. designed for lean and athletically built men. Our shirts aren't made for the masses. they're made for you.
