White Cotton Poplin Long Point Collar Shirt

A plain white poplin shirt with a long point collar, made at Drake's own factory in Somerset. The cloth is light and smooth with a soft sheen, and was chosen because it breathes well and holds up against creasing. The collar has a brushed interlining that floats rather than being fused, so it stays soft while keeping its shape. It is a staple shirt that can be worn to the office or kept for the weekend.

Thomas Mason White Luxury Broadcloth

We picked a white Thomas Mason broadcloth because broadcloth is woven in the same plain, close way as poplin and has the same smooth, slightly lustrous surface. It is also very light, like the original. We used a soft point collar, a soft one-button cuff, a front placket, no pocket, a curved hem and mother of pearl buttons, all close to the Drake's details. Proper Cloth offers no rounded cuff in this design, so the cuff is a barrel cuff, and the collar is its soft point style, not a named long point.

A white broadcloth from Thomas Mason, woven from two-ply 120s Egyptian cotton. It is very light, smooth and silky in the hand, and can be worn in any season. The fine, dense weave creases fairly easily but irons back to a crisp finish quickly.

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.
