After Drake’s · Autumn/Winter 2023
White Cotton Long Point Collar Dinner Shirt
Drake's dinner shirt is a plain white cotton shirt cut for evening dress, made in the company's Somerset factory with the same single-needle construction it uses for its other English-made shirts. It has a long point collar, a concealed front that hides the buttons, and double cuffs for cufflinks. The interlining floats rather than being fused, so the collar and cuffs keep some softness. It is designed to be worn with a dinner suit and bow tie.

Thomas Mason White Luxury Broadcloth
We chose a very lightweight white Thomas Mason broadcloth. It is a fine, smooth plain weave close in look and feel to the original's lightweight poplin. We set a point collar, French cuffs, a covered placket, mother of pearl buttons and narrow stitching to follow the original, and chose soft collar and cuffs as the nearest match to its floating interlining. Proper Cloth's options gave us a split yoke and a shallow curved hem, and its point collar is not described as a long point, so those details may not match exactly.
A white broadcloth from the Thomas Mason mill, woven from two-ply 120s Egyptian cotton. It is very light, smooth and slightly lustrous, and can be worn in any season. Because the weave is so fine it creases fairly easily, but it irons back to a crisp finish without much effort.

- Care
- While the fine weave and high thread count of this broadcloth don’t make for the most wrinkle-resistant style, it irons up beautifully in a flash. Finish: No Treatment.
