Description

Our new plaid collection features distinctive patterns and signature details. Made of mid-weight Japanese-milled 100% cotton poplin, these shirts are perfect for the seasonal transitions. The collars are unfused and feature a soft interlining for a casual, effortless look. The sleeves feature a subtle light blue end-on-end contrast detail on the inner cuff placket, for added personality.

Like all shirts from Ratio Clothing, this shirt is made-to-order in the USA to your exact size and style specifications with single needle stitching, two-piece yoke, and quarter-inch top-stitching on the cuff, collar, and placket.

English Spread

This wider spread will add some English sophistication to the shirt. It looks great without a tie or with a giant double-Windsor knot. The English spread is generally thought to be complementary to longer, narrower faces, but we find it to be quite versatile and recommend it for most customers.

Specifications: Point Length: 2 3/4", Spread: 5", Rear Height: 1 3/4", Rear Band Height: 1 3/8", Front Band Height: 1", Tie Space: 1/4", Stiff fused interlining unless otherwise noted for specific fabrics, Includes removable collar stays

Semi-Spread

Our semi-spread is a 4” spread with 2 3/4” point-length. The semi-spread is another versatile choice that works with a variety of tie knots, but can be still worn open. The standard spread is a good choice if you're looking for something safe and classic. It's also better suited to rounder faces than the English spread.

Specifications: Point Length: 2 3/4", Spread: 4", Rear Height: 1 7/8", Rear Band Height: 1 3/8", Front Band Height: 1", Tie Space: 3/8", Stiff fused interlining unless otherwise noted for specific fabrics, Includes removable collar stays

Button Down

The button down collar has longer 3” points and a spread width of 3”. It’s a more casual, sporty option. It makes a great choice paired with an Oxford fabric, but can be dressed up with a tie (as long as you live in the Northeast and went to boarding school).

Specifications: Point Length: 3", Spread: 3", Rear Height: 1 7/8", Rear Band Height: 1 3/8", Front Band Height: 3/8", Tie Space: 3/8", Soft fused interlining unless otherwise noted for specific fabrics (unfused for oxford fabrics), no collar stays

Two-Button Mitered

Technically, a two-button style is less formal, but this is a fashion-forward look that works with most fabrics and most situations. This is a great choice if you like to roll your sleeves, because the cuff is slightly wider than our other options.

Specifications: Height: 2 7/8", Buttons: 2, Interlining construction matched to collar

One-Button Barrel

Classic and safe, the one-button barrel is the most popular option. It’s perfectly suited for formal occasions, but can be worn with most anything. Can’t decide? Go with this one.

Specifications: Height: 2 3/8", Buttons: 1, Interlining construction matched to collar

French

The French cuff is formal and flashy. You need to wear it with cuff links (or silk knots) and don’t plan to roll up your sleeves with this one. This matches nicely with one of our higher-end broadcloths and a job at a leveraged buyout shop.

Specifications: Height: 2 5/8", Buttons: None, Interlining construction matched to collar

Side Pleats

Side pleats have the same functional benefit of the center box pleat, but are a slightly more contemporary and European option.

Center Box Pleat

The center box pleat is the classic, conservative option and a great default choice. The function of the rear pleats is to give you more freedom of movement and a little more room in the shoulders.

No Pleats

Removing the rear pleats will create an even trimmer silhouette, a clean look, and a slightly restrictive feel in the shoulders. It is a fashionable choice that looks great with a slim-fitting shirt.

Rounded Pocket

Our standard pocket is a rounded bottom pocket on the left breast. A pocket is conservative, classic and a more casual option.

No Pocket

By removing the pocket, the shirt becomes more contemporary and formal.

The placket is the strip of fabric running down the center-front of the shirt containing the button holes. Ratio offers two placket options.

Plain Front

A plain front is a contemporary, continental look and is a more formal option.

Standard Placket

The standard placket is a classic, conservative look. It provides more sturdiness and structure to the shirt and will also help keep a collar worn open from pulling out towards the shoulders. Our placket is 1 ¼” wide with ¼” topstitching to the left and right of the shirt buttons.

How to Choose the Correct Neck Size

If you’ve bought a dress shirt before, you’ve made the purchase based largely around the size of your neck. If you already know that by heart, just go with that size.

If you’re unsure or between sizes:

  • Try on a dress shirt from anywhere and find the size that is snug, but not strangling you when buttoned. You should be able to slide two fingers between your neck and the shirt.

Tips/Hints

  • Don’t add to the size to account for shrinkage – we’ll do that for you.
  • If, like so many of us, you’ve purchased a shirt with the “wrong” neck size so it would fit elsewhere, please use your correct neck size here. That is why you’re going custom, right?

How to Choose the Correct Sleeve Length

Also known as the “center-back length”, this is the second number that is used in standard dress shirt sizing. If you always buy the same size, use that here.

If you’re unsure or between sizes:

  • Most of us tend to wear our sleeves a little on the short side. With a custom shirt, you don’t need to do that, so feel free to round up if you’re between sizes
  • Despite all the “rules” regarding sleeve length, if we’ve found anything it’s that the rules all contradict one another. Go with what feels most comfortable.

Tips/Hints

  • Don’t add to the size to account for shrinkage – we’ll do that for you.

How to Choose the Correct Chest Size

The size suit jacket you wear (40, 42, etc.) is really just an approximation of your chest size. If you always buy the same jacket size, this one should be a no-brainer.

If you’re unsure or between sizes:

  • What is the size of your best fitting suit? That will get you close – you can round up or down an inch based on your preferences. Most people are guilty of wearing a slightly larger size, so if you still can’t decide, round down.
  • Have you visited a menswear store to test out a few? (Brooks Brother’s is usually a good place to start.) Find something that feels comfortable and go with that size.

Tips/Hints

  • If you haven’t bought a new suit in five years, head out and try one on. You might be surprised that you prefer a closer fitting jacket than the one you bought five years ago.

How to Choose the Correct Shirt Length

This is the second component of your suit jacket size and will determine the length of the body of the shirt (example: "42 Long"). If you always buy the same jacket length, stick with that.

If you’re unsure or between sizes:

  • Do you plan to wear the shirt tucked-in or un-tucked? We have designed our Ratio slim fit to work well either way, but go with the shorter option if you plan to wear it un-tucked and the longer option if it will always be tucked-in.
  • When you tuck in dress shirts from other stores, do you have problems with the sides of the shirttails coming un-tucked? If so, you can round to the longer size.

Tips/Hints

  • If you still can’t decide, go with “Regular.” That works best for most of our customers and we have a great return policy if you need to make changes.
  • If you’re 6’4” and you would normally choose “long” jackets, but you now buy “Regular” because of Thom Browne, still choose "long" here.

How to Choose the Correct Fit

We offer two fit choices at Ratio Clothing: the signature “Ratio Slim Fit” and the “Classic” fit.

The Ratio Slim Fit

Our most popular choice, our signature fit cuts a slimmer, sleeker profile without being too tight or trying too hard. Whether tucked-in at the office or untucked on the weekend, the Ratio Slim Fit is perfect for any occasion.

  • Body - Slimmer through the chest and narrower through the waist and hips to create a clean, modern silhouette. No more excess bunching fabric around the waist.
  • Sleeves - Smaller armhole openings and slimmer sleeves add to the overall tailored look. Giant pirate sleeves are a thing of the past.

The Classic Fit

Our classic fit takes a more conservative approach. While still slimmer that most off-the-rack shirts, the classic fit provides about 2” more room in the chest and features more traditional sleeves. The classic fit is meant to be tucked in and is a great choice for a conservative office or someone who likes a more relaxed fit.

Tips/Hints

  • Most of our customers come looking for a more tailored look and almost always choose the Ratio Slim Fit. If that sounds like you, go with the Ratio Slim Fit..
  • The Classic Fit will work best on people with less athletic body types (larger waist in proportion to shoulders)
