FAQ

Ascolite button attachment. Ascolite is a Swiss company that has developed a unique method to prevent button release. Initially, buttons are sewn on the traditionally way, only slightly loose. Then the Ascolite thread is wrapped tightly under tension around the button shank threads. This pulls the buttons tight and it’s simultaneously heat sealed. The result is a flexible permanently secured, easy to button and perfect looking button shank. The benefit of every day is that as the buttons sit a little prouder on the placket of your shirt. Buttoning becomes much easier because of this improvement.


Style Points Bonus there!

The Italian way of attaching the button to the shirt is with a Crows foot stitch. You understand why Shirtbird likes to stitch the buttons with a crows foot. After all, It’s the small detail that makes you smile.

Mother of pearl buttons are iridescent buttons made from an inner layer of certain shells.

Mother-of-pearl buttons are cut from linings of mollusk, oysters, abalone, and snail shells. The nacre lining is the same outer coating of pearls, thus the name “mother-of-pearl.” The material is strong and naturally elegant.

Mother of pearl comes in two colors, white and anthracite, Shirtbird uses both colors for the shirts. Yes sir, for your shirt only the best!

A non-fused or unconstructed collar is comfortable to wear and gives a nice 'collar roll'. The board is not glued and not reinforced by a non-woven lining. This production method requires craftsmanship and experience. Because the collar is not stiff and hard, this shirt has a luxurious and sporty look.

When we like to give a shirt a sportier, casual look, the shirts have been washed after being manufactured.

Pre-washing makes the fabric softer and gives the collar, cuffs, and seams a nice casual look.

This is Shirtbird's favorite way of stitching the seams of our shirts. 

Single needle stitching is an extra step during the production process and is characteristic for high-quality shirts. A single needle seam is equally stitched twice but with a flat felled seam. One row of stitching is hidden inside the fabric. From the topside you see only one row, but you see two rows of stitching from the inside.

A gusset is a small piece of reinforcing fabric sewn to the bottom onto the shirt side seam near the bottom. The gusset also often is a signature of the brand and a detail of craftsmanship. Shirtbird puts a gusset in the shape of a birdhouse on its shirts. After all, Shirtbird is the home of shirts.

At Shirtbird we only use the best long-pile cottons for our shirts. Smoother cloths are woven from longer fibers of cotton. 

Egyptian cotton is the world's best cotton and distinguishes itself from other cotton types.

Due to the length of the cotton fiber, the finest yarns can be spun without the yarn losing strength.

Egyptian cotton absorbs liquids and dyes particularly well, which makes Egyptian cotton fabrics have deeper, brighter, and more beautiful colors.

Due to the long fiber, a shirt made of this cotton is more wrinkle resistant.

We fold and wrap all our shirts lightly with tissue paper without an excess of cardboard and pins, just like when you pick up your shirt at a New York laundry. Crispy and Clean.

The collar size is the number of centimeters of the collar measured from button to center buttonhole. With the slim-fit shirts from Shirtbird, the collar size is your own size with your own specifications. For example, at size 40, the collar is one centimeter wider than at size 39 and the shirt is an entire size larger than size 39. A size chart of our slim fit shirt consists of 8 different sizes. For example, if you have a board size 41, but you would like your shirt to be a little wider, you can easily choose size 42. If you're not wearing a tie, a one-centimeter wider collar doesn't matter and your shirt is more comfortable.
