Over dirty martinis at The Odeon, my friend Elliot and I veer off into a spirited debate about the perfect tuxedo shirt. We should be discussing our book club selection Infinite Jest. We alternate scribbling down notes on a cocktail napkin.

1. French cuffs, naturally, to accommodate cuff links.

2. A pleated bib. What’s old is new again.

3. Cut a bit longer than expected for dancing.

4. In pinpoint oxford to keep it sporty…?

5. An elongated club collar feels unexpected.
