What is the exact fit of this shirt compared to a standard slim fit? The listing mentions 'modern fit' in the category, but the title says 'slim fit'. Does it run true to size or is it more tailored?

This shirt is a true slim fit — it follows the body's natural contours through the chest, waist, and sleeves for a modern, tapered silhouette. The addition of slight stretch in the 100% cotton twill weave provides a bit of give for comfort, so it runs true to size for most slim-fit wearers.

The sizes are listed as numbers from 145 to 180. What do these numbers correspond to (neck size in cm/inches, chest, or overall length)? Can you provide a size chart for collar and sleeve length?

The numbers (145–180) correspond to the collar size in tenths of an inch — for example, 155 equals a 15.5-inch collar. We don't have a detailed Hörst size chart on hand, but typically a slim-fit shirt with a 15.5-inch collar would have a chest measurement around 42–43 inches and sleeves of about 32–33 inches, though we recommend measuring a well-fitting shirt or using the brand's size guide for exact measurements.

Is the non-iron finish permanent or will it diminish over time with washing? What care instructions are recommended to maintain the wrinkle resistance?

The non-iron finish is durable but may gradually diminish over time with repeated washing, especially if exposed to high heat or harsh chemicals. To maintain wrinkle resistance, machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle, tumble dry on low, and avoid bleach or dry cleaning. Ironing on a low setting can help restore the finish if needed.

The shirt is described as having slight stretch despite being 100% cotton. How is this achieved (e.g., mechanical stretch weave)? Will the stretch hold up over time?

The slight stretch is achieved through a mechanical stretch weave in the 100% cotton twill construction — the twill structure itself allows some natural give without adding elastane. Over time, the stretch should hold up well if the shirt is cared for properly (gentle wash, low heat drying), as the weave doesn't rely on a chemical or elastic fiber that degrades.

Product Insights

The Hörst Monochrome Twill Shirt's $125 price bypasses wholesale markups to invest in 100% cotton twill with mechanical stretch and a light non-iron finish, offering a slim fit with half-inch collar sizing (145–180) for precise neck fit; the twill weave provides stretch and wrinkle resistance without elastane, preserving breathability, but the non-iron finish and stretch require cold gentle cycles to maintain durability.

Deep Research

How Hörst compares to other non-iron slim fits

Hörst is a house brand produced for Simons' Le 31 department, meaning the shirt is designed in-house with direct quality oversight and sold without the wholesale markup of third-party brands—translating to a $125 CAD price tag that reflects a higher proportion of fabric and construction cost.
The 100% cotton twill achieves its slight stretch through the weave itself rather than elastane fibers, preserving the shirt's natural moisture-wicking and breathability while avoiding the synthetic feel and heat retention that can plague stretch-cotton blends from mass-market slim fits.
The size range from 145 to 180 corresponds to traditional half-inch collar sizing, ensuring that even with a slim body the collar closes cleanly at the throat—a detail that separates dress shirts from casual sport shirts and is critical for wearing a tie without gaping.
Twill's diagonal weave structure inherently resists creasing and drapes more fluidly than the poplin used in most non-iron shirts, allowing Hörst to use a lighter chemical finish—resulting in a shirt that stays presentable all day without the stiffness associated with heavily resin-treated competitors.

Nice shirts

★★★★★Justin S.January 12, 2025

Easy to iron ( but they do need to be ironed).

Nice shirt - no stretch

★★★★★Maureen F.January 5, 2026

This is a very nice looking shirt but unlike others from the same brand - this one has no stretch. The slim fit with no stretch feels very constrictive.
