"I do not like to wear French Cuff shirts because they are too much trouble in the morning."

Does this sound like you? Most gentlemen do not know that there is a simple way to put on a French Cuff shirt so as to eliminate the hassle. You fold over the cuff and put your cuff link through the cuff so that it is ready to wear before you put the shirt on. (Most gentlemen try and do it after they put the shirt on and then the trouble, imperfect fold and frustration set in. You should be able to then stick your hand through the sleeve and cuff, but be careful so as not to apply too much pressure on your cufflink set.

A good custom fitted shirt will allow a proper circumference to get your hand and wrist through to accomplish this without hassle. If this is not the case, then you might be a candidate for a custom fitted shirt.

" I do not like the button under collar because I can't get the button in the little pocket or loop under the collar."

The button under collar is a uniquely American style that is continuing to be very strong for the Spring. Most gentlemen that have trouble with the buttoning process have big hands or thumbs, but don't despair! Button the shirt collar buttons first, then feed the tie through the collar so that it is in position to tie and then proceed to put the shirt on. This procedure will eliminate any problems with this great - looking collar.
