Ask any male athlete — pro, college, or the guy who is conscious about his fitness — about their experience buying dress shirts and you are guaranteed to receive a similar, frustrated response. Although the wording of this frustration may differ, the overall consensus is the same: off-the-rack dress shirts simply do not accommodate those with an athletic build.
Here is the issue — big brands are churning out dress shirts for the masses, and unfortunately the athletic build does not make up the majority of the male population. These brands typically offer only two fits: Standard and Slim.
The Standard fit may accommodate an athletic upper body but fails to taper at the waist, resulting in a boxy, baggy look. Slim fit shirts taper nicely through the waist but leave little room in the chest, shoulders, and arms — leading to discomfort, popped buttons, and restricted movement.
The Athletic fit dress shirt solves these problems by providing more room in the upper body, slightly lower armholes, and a sharply tailored waist. Back darts eliminate excess fabric when tucked in, creating a clean, tapered silhouette designed to highlight the “V” shape.
Our shirts feature 4-way stretch fabric, allowing a close, tailored fit without sacrificing comfort or mobility. While professional athletes are ideal candidates, this fit is perfect for any guy with a muscular upper body and a trim waist.
Clothing is simply a canvas for the body — and with a true Athletic fit, these shirts reward the work you put into yours.
