Pattern matching
During the cutting stage, all the critical points on each shirt panel are individually matched to give perfect symmetry to stripe and check shirts.

Quality control
Rigorous quality checks are carried out at all stages of the manufacturing process with final checks made at the pressing and packing stage.

The trademark red button
You can always spot a Joe Button shirt on the street. The last button on every Joe Button shirt is red and the button hole is stitched horizontally. 

Our Premium Fabrics

At Joe Button, our shirts are made of two-fold 80s and two-fold 100s cotton from Britain, France, Italy and Switzerland.

HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR DRESS SHIRT

How to wash your dress shirt

• Before washing your dress shirt:
  • Remove the collar stays (to avoid uneven wear on the collar points)
  • Turn shirt inside-out (there’s more dirt on the inside!).
• Wash at a temperature of 40ºC to 60ºC (104ºF to 140ºF).
• Hang out to dry or place in an airing cupboard. Do not tumble dry as this will wear out the points of the collar and cuffs.

How to iron your dress shirt

• A pure cotton dress shirt is best ironed while still slightly damp from the wash.  Otherwise, a fine spray can be used to dampen the shirt if it has already dried out.
• Before ironing, undo all the buttons, remove the collar stays and ensure the cuffs are unbuttoned or unfolded (for French cuffs).
• Set the temperature dial on the iron to ‘cotton’ and lay the part of the shirt about to be pressed flat on the ironing board.  Using a dry iron (no steam), press the fabric until dry and crease free.
• We recommend ironing a shirt in this order: collar, cuffs, sleeves, yokes, front panels and ending with the back panel.
• When ironing the collar and cuffs, start with the back and iron from the outer edge into the centre.  You may need to pull gently at one end of the collar or cuff as you press.
• When ironing the sleeves, begin in the middle of the sleeve and iron from the centre outwards.
• Once ironed, slip the shirt onto a hanger, fasten the top button, and leave it to air.

How to dry clean your dress shirt

• If you choose to send your dress shirts to the drycleaners, ask for ‘hand laundering’ service.  This will help to preserve our natural fabrics that can suffer from repeated exposure to harsh chemical treatments involved in ‘regular’ dry cleaning.

Shrinkage

• The natural fabrics we use can shrink slightly when washed a few times.  For this reason we cut your custom shirts slightly larger than expected.  Please take this into account if you try your new dress shirt on for size before you wash it.
• Also, shirt fabrics tend to shrink more along their length than across their width, so please follow our How to Measure guide when providing your measurements.
