Blue Xacus Stock 11460 Active Stretch Dress Shirt

This is the dress shirt for the man who lives in a jacket four days a week and does not want to think about his shirt. It looks like a proper dress shirt on the hanger, wears like a fine knit off the plane, and comes out of a carry-on ready to walk into a meeting. It has become the daily-driver blue shirt the shop keeps replacing.

Cut from a Japanese 3D stretch jersey with mother-of-pearl buttons and a small cutaway collar built with removable stiffeners so it sits sharp under a tie and clean when the jacket is open. The knit holds the shape of a woven dress shirt, moves like performance fabric, wicks, and shrugs off wrinkles from suitcase to boardroom. Plain folded placket, rounded cuff with a piped sleeve placket, and a clean back with no darts, built for a full day in.

Sky blue is the pale that pairs the way an oxford pairs but with the jersey performance underneath. Reads dressed under a navy suit, warms up next to a brown jacket, sharpens under a grey topcoat, and softens down over denim on the weekend. The blue that quietly does the most work in the week.
