The Difference between Wayne Lowe 100% 2-Ply Cotton shirts and Other shirts … And why you should come and see us @ TANGS Empire Subang Shopping Mall!

Ask anyone in the shirting industry and they will tell you that the fabric of a man’s shirt is the first standard by which his shirt will be judged, followed by impeccable design – collar, cuff and cut.

Cotton, a natural material, is without a doubt, the fabric of choice for the discerning gentleman. Once you have worn a shirt made of 100% cotton, you can easily become accustomed to its smooth finish, breathability and overall comfort of the shirt. 

The other types of shirt fabrics are, for example, polyester or chief-value-cotton which is a blend of polyester and cotton. You will feel a distinct (read: uncomfortable!) difference when you wear off-the-rack shirts made of these types of fabric. 

Polyester or chief-value-cotton shirts, designed for the mass market, claim to make fashion convenient for men due to their wrinkle free or wrinkle resistant qualities. No (or less) ironing becomes their tagline. However, beware. These man-made fabrics are not breathable and don’t absorb water well. In our hot and humid climate, this can spell disaster for you. 

If quality, elegance and comfort are what you’re after, then we unabashedly assure you that Wayne Lowe 100% 2-ply cotton shirts are sure to make you a winner.

If you want to go for something more daring yet classy, you will score high points with our Pink Multi-Layer Stripe shirt. Pink is a colour that will flatter most skin tones. Wear it with a simple dark tie. You can wear this colour easily from day time to night time. Probably the reason it is becoming more and more popular!

Here’s a style tip:

Darker colours, small patterns and vertical stripes will give the wearer a slimmer look.

The Cutaway Collar, a variant to the Semi-Cutaway Collar

Greetings,

Today we bring you some interesting facts about the Cutaway Collar. As its name implies, the collar points are ‘cut away’, pointing back towards the shoulders. A unique feature of the cutaway is that the spread between the collar points are much wider when compared with collars like the Straight Point Collar.

Wearing the cutaway makes you stand out from the crowd while you exude that confident image.

If you have an inspiring tie collection, the cutaway gives you the perfect opportunity to show it off! The wider distance between the collar points reveals more of that dashing tie of yours. Bigger tie knots like the Windsor and half-Windsor do well with the cutaway, but not so for the slim ties. You can wear it without a necktie too, but leave a couple of buttons undone to achieve that casual, debonair look. 

Although not a hard and fast rule, it is said that men with slimmer and long facial features can pull off wearing a cutaway collar really well as opposed to those with a rounder countenance. 

At this point, you’re probably getting a sense of déjà vu! This is because we spoke about the Semi-Cutaway Collar last week, which is a variant of the cutaway. The difference between the two collars lies in the angle between the collar points, which is wider in the cutaway. 

The Cutaway Collar was made popular by the English during the Edwardian era and was worn for formal occasions or at black tie events. Much favoured by the Europeans, the cutaway is now spicing up men’s wardrobes everywhere!

Introducing the Semi-Cutaway Collar, a versatile and stylish collar that never gets old

Greetings,

We are back! Today we would like to tell you about the Semi-Cutaway Collar.

This collar type and its variants have been made famous by English royalty and Hollywood A-listers. It originated in the early 20th century and is also known as the 'English' collar.If you want to make a statement, then go for the Semi-Cutaway Collar. The collar points are spread farther apart than other shirt collars giving the wearer a bolder look.

This collar type goes well with the larger tie knots like the Windsor or half-Windsor due to its wider spread. Want to look smart and casual? Skip the neckwear and undo a button or two. Perfect for those working in a less formal business environment. The Semi-Cutaway collar also looks great paired with a coat or a blazer. It is a really versatile collar!

Here’s another great tip. If you have a long and slender face shape, you can go for the Semi-Cutaway collar. The wider spread balances your longer features.
