Sourcing Executive Summary

Based on over 30 years of high-volume garment manufacturing for international fashion houses and defense clients, this guide outlines critical operational standards, cost drivers, and execution steps.

The Collar Defines the Shirt

The collar frames the wearer’s face and serves as the primary visual signature of any high-end dress or casual shirt. Crafting a collar with perfect roll and structural resilience is the hallmark of master shirtmaking.

Popular Collar Architectures

• Classic Spread & Semi-Spread: The timeless corporate standard, accommodating medium to wide tie knots.

• Extreme Cutaway: Favored by contemporary European tailoring, exuding modern Italian elegance.

• Hidden & Traditional Button-Down: The preppy Ivy League and smart-casual staple.

• Mandarin & Band Collars: Minimalist, modern silhouettes popular in summer linen collections.

Interlinings: The Hidden Backbone

Mayser Textile partners with top European interlining manufacturers (such as Wendler Germany) using woven, fusible, and unfused interlinings tailored specifically to the drape of each shell fabric.
