Story
The Berkley, our very first tuxedo shirt, is a new addition to the Classics Collection—a selection of timeless, fitted dress shirts with crisp collars and refined finishes.
Featuring a distinguished tall spread collar, the Berkley boasts luxury details like mother-of-pearl buttons and brass collar stays. A subtle textured bib and hidden placket create a polished look while traditional French cuffs add a hint of elegance. It’s the ideal shirt for black tie events and momentous occasions.
The Berkley tuxedo shirt is cut from a pure white two-ply poplin cotton fabric.

is a rare variety of cotton that is renowned as some of the best in the world. It has an extra long staple, which means it has longer fibers, resulting in a silkier, more durable fabric. Poplin, sometimes called broadcloth, is a plain weave which means the threads alternately cross over and then under each other. This results in a very smooth and durable fabric that has an almost silky hand feel, particularly with higher thread counts. Also, poplin looks very crisp when ironed.
