Have you tried other fabrics? You could try silk shirts, which are often smoother. Or as I mentioned, cotton poplin is the lightest and usually the smoothest of cotton weaves. Most shirts that are easy to buy are oxfords, which can be rough or rigid when new or cheap. Aside from that there's not much else you can do about the collar.

I suppose you could try to find a fabric that doesn't annoy you, get a meter of it, and line all your shirt collars with it. Shouldn't add much bulk and shouldn't be very expensive. You'd have to find a way to stitch it that doesn't annoy you though.

Are all of those fabrics available at standard stores, such as Men's Wearhouse? I definitely want to try other fabrics that I haven't tried before. How do you take care of them?

Order of most to least comfortable imo: Silk ($$$) > Linen > Cotton > Wool > Polyester

I'm definitely interested in trying linen or silk shirts... how do I get them? I've only ever tried cotton or below on that hierarchy.


I don't know if Men's Wearhouse would have a silk shirt I'd be willing to wear. I don't live in the US so I don't know what they have, but I did take a look at the brand list on their website and there isn't a brand there I'd endorse. Even stuff that might sound good, like Lauren by Ralph Lauren and Chaps, are just diffusion brands that aren't even owned by Ralph Lauren—totally ridiculous. You haven't specified a pricepoint so I'm not sure what to recommend, but the go-to rec for most people is Uniqlo. They make some good cheap stuff.

Linen shirts you can find in most places, but be warned: cheap linen can be itchy as hell. I've tried linen shirts from fast fashion brands and they scratch pretty bad, which sounds like a problem of yours. Linen wrinkles easily and shrinks, so as mentioned, iron and don't machine dry. Linen may not count as business casual depending on your company except in the summer, though.

Silk shirts are expensive. Like really expensive. You could find cheap silk shirts but they'd probably fray and tear easily like most cheap silk. Worth a try though just to see if you like the fabric before you spend big on one.

Only problem I've had with linen is that it's impossible to iron. I've never had 100% linen that didn't look super casual.
why?

I hate business wear as well. If I want my collar to not feel like a goddamn noose, the length and bagginess of my arms is too much. For the arms and fit to be correct, my goddamn collar is too tight most of the time. It drives me insane. I'm sure if I clunked down some change for higher end shirts this wouldn't be as bad but man that gets expensive.

I can at least get away with no tie as long as I don't have meetings which is nice. But yeah

express shirts are nice, my work is very casual. Actually I have never worn a suit and tie in my life.

edit: I'm not sure what defines comfortable these days, I prefer a fit shirt rather than a "loose comfortable" fit.
