Pursue Dress Shirt Comfort with State and Liberty
Perfect Union of Performance and Comfort
Guys we have a problem. Well, a shirt issue if we are getting specific. As many of us know, grabbing an off-the-rack dress shirt that is made for the masses doesn’t always fit right. Then those “Slim Fit” dress shirts are way too tight for anyone with an athletic upper body. Grabbing a “Standard Fit” shirt feels like you are wearing a bulky box around are the waist. That is why State and Liberty decided to do something about it. Their crew spent years researching hundreds of athletic body types to develop the perfect Athletic Fit Dress Shirt.
By providing more room in the upper body with an extremely tailored waist, our dress cater to those with a v-shape body type. Darts in the back of the dress shirt pull in the excess fabric creating a fit that rewards those men that take care of their bodies. The days of ripping through your elbows and back seam are over. Our shirts have a ridiculous amount of stretch allowing you to wear a nice tailored fit without sacrificing comfort.
INITIAL IMPRESSIONS
The quality of State and Liberty is recognized right away-once you open the box and touch the shirt. The dress shirts are moisture-wicking and extremely lightweight. It almost feels like a workout shirt, but is designed with the look of a tailored dress shirt. They even spiced up the shirt with some innovative ideas (like the hidden button) to keep the collars standing tall and crisp . The Wrinkle Free material is smooth and cool to touch- and the best part is it’s 100% machine washable.
Whatever it is, the initial impressions of these unique shirts are something we thought you should know about. Things like:
True Stretch
The days of ripping through your elbows and back seam are over. State and Liberty shirts have a ridiculous amount of stretch allowing you to wear a nice tailored fit without sacrificing comfort.
Performance Fabric
Each dress shirt is moisture-wicking and extremely lightweight. State and Liberty stole all the properties of your favorite workout shirt and created a professional looking dress shirt.
Hidden Button
Their innovated hidden button keeps your collars standing tall and crisp when you're not wearing a tie. Easily unfasten the button and you have a standard semi-spread collar that looks great with a tie.
So sewing this all together (see what we did there), these shirts are made from some pretty unique processes and materials- some that have never been done before. The materials, sustainability, and design of State and Liberty are in fact unique and one-of-a kind!

With grey stitching and black buttons, The Wayne's (pictured above) subtle contrast sets this shirt apart and makes it perfect for the bar or the office.
THE FIT
Right away one of our crew members stole the shirt for themselves to review. We get it- after touching the shirt who wouldn’t want it all up in their body? So when it comes to the fit, you have to see what they said:
“Oh, so this shirt was made FOR me? Is that what I am feeling? Cause, this shirt fits like no other dress shirt I have ever worn. Arms-solid, chest-cozy, length-sure rock it any way I want. I love the fit of this shirt.”
Seems like they liked it a little.
THE FEEL
That same crew member also shared their feelings about the feel. That is A LOT of “feels” right there.
“How can a performance shirt feel this good? Initially putting it on it was cool to touch, but then matched my body heat and I didn’t feel sweaty or too cold at all. It felt great tucked in, out and open, and even under a jacket. Love the feeling.”
Seems like he dug it.
OVERALL
Overall the report from the field was overwhelmingly solid. The shirt wore and felt the same wash after wash, never lost its shape or collar crispness. Each time the shirt was worn as a dressed up or more casual version, it felt like it was perfectly made for any occasion. Our crew dug the color concepts, the cut lines, and the materials used in the shirt.
STANDOUT FEATURES
After testing out the dress shirts, wearing them, researching the materials and innovations that these shirts held, there were some noted Standout Features:
The materials used for these shirts are some of the best we have ever worn
The innovative collar button keeps the collar looking classic while also keeping it crispy like a french fry
The variety in print options give some really unique options to dress it up or dress it down depending on what the night holds
The ability to machine wash this quality of a shirt and not have to toss $$ at dry cleaning is a cost saving gainer for sure
Comfortable is an understatement
