Quality Signs of CS Shirts

SINGLE-NEEDLE STITCHING

A more costly and time consuming method of machine sewing that uses one needle to sew one side of the garment at a time, providing a consistent and careful stitch.

The faster, less expensive method is to sew with double-needle stitching, working both sides of the garment at once, with a greater likelihood of puckering.

BUTTONS

CS Shirts are cross-stitched and made of mother-of-pearl.

GAUNTLET BUTTON

This is an anachronistic button on the sleeve opening, above the cuff.

FRENCH CUFFS

These are worn with cuff links.

LONG TAILS

Long enough to come together between the legs.

COLLAR

Evenly stitched around the edges.

FIT

Sufficient blousiness in the sleeve. Where it joins the cuff, the fabric is gathered into pleats and not tapered.
