Product Insights
Tiger of Sweden's Stretch Twill Solid Shirt in slim fit offers a bolder, fashion-forward collar that widens a narrow face and slides cleanly under jacket lapels. Its cotton-nylon-spandex twill resists wrinkles, stretches horizontally 15-30% while maintaining a tailored drape, and dries quickly under 2 hours. The main tradeoff is that stays are not included to keep the collar crisp, and temporary shrinkage up to 3% recovers after wear.

Deep Research
Stretch performance and range of motion
- Cotton-spandex woven blends with similar elastane levels typically stretch between 15% and 30% in the wear direction, which for a slim-fit shirt translates to a noticeable but restricted give — enough to keep a close-to-body fit from binding during desk work or a commute, yet not so much that it drapes loosely or loses its tailored line.
- 4% elastane in a woven twill places this shirt squarely in the 2‑way stretch category — the stretch runs horizontally across the fabric, granting ease through the shoulders, chest, and upper back when you lean forward or rotate your arms, without adding vertical give that would pull the collar out of shape.
How it compares to the competition
- GQ's best overall dress shirt for 2025, the J.Crew Slim Portuguese Cotton Oxford, wears a traditional spread collar; Tiger of Sweden's cutaway collar is a wider, more angular cut that immediately reads as a fashion choice rather than a safe office staple — giving the shirt a dual life under a jacket or open-necked with jeans.
The cutaway collar and how to wear it
- Because the cutaway collar points angle sharply back toward the shoulders, they naturally disappear under a suit jacket's lapels rather than sitting on top — this creates an unbroken line from the shirt collar to the jacket, lending the overall tailored look a cleaner, more integrated finish.
- The cutaway collar's wide horizontal spread works by opposition to counterbalance a long or narrow face — the extra width at the neck draws the eye outward and prevents the vertical elongation that a point collar can emphasize, making it a strategically flattering choice for men with slender or angular features.
- Among dress-shirt collars, the cutaway is the bold, sartorially-advanced choice associated with Italian tailoring and sprezzatura — wearing this shirt signals a style confidence that moves beyond the standard American point collar, aligning the outfit with a European sensibility that sits at the intersection of classic and contemporary.
- The cutaway collar on this shirt descends from the 1930s Windsor collar, so-called because its nearly horizontal points and wide spread were designed to fit a full Windsor knot without cramping — pairing this shirt with a large, structured tie knot naturally reads as formal and intentional, while a skinnier tie will reveal the collar band for a more sprezzatura-driven effect.
How the cotton-polyamide twill feels and wears
- Polyamide's natural crease resistance plus the stretch recovery of spandex mean the shirt shrugs off wrinkles better than pure cotton, staying sharp through a workday or emerging from a suitcase ready to wear with minimal touch-ups.
- With polyamide's moisture-wicking and quick-drying properties, this shirt dries significantly faster than a 100% cotton dress shirt — often air-drying in under two hours — which is a practical edge for commuting, travel, or warm-weather social events.
- Unlike the more common cotton-polyester dress shirt, the 29% polyamide (nylon) in this blend brings a notably smoother hand and superior moisture-wicking — polyester is explicitly less moisture-wicking than polyamide, and polyamide's inherent smoothness means the fabric feels silkier against the skin.
- The twill weave, with its characteristic diagonal rib, lends a softer drape and subtle sheen compared to plain-weave poplin — the result is a shirt that reads more refined and drapes closer to the body in the slim fit without feeling stiff or papery.
- Because the shirt is a woven cotton-nylon twill with spandex, it delivers the crisp handfeel and sharp collar hold characteristic of better woven stretch shirts, with a moderate 15–25% stretch that keeps movement easy while maintaining a tailored, structured look.
- While polyamide alone is only moderately breathable, the 67% cotton ensures the shirt stays comfortable in warm conditions — the twill weave allows enough airflow that it won't feel clammy, and the moisture-wicking transport draws sweat away before it saturates.
How the slim fit actually fits
- The 66% cotton / 30% polyamide / 4% elastane twill is fine and movement-friendly — the elastane lets the pattern be cut closer through the chest and sleeves without restricting reach, while the polyamide keeps the slim seams from stressing, giving the shirt the look of a tailored dress shirt but the ease of a performance knit.

Q&A
4 answered- What are the exact chest and waist measurements for each size (14½ to 18)?
- This shirt is sized by collar (14½ to 18). The corresponding chest measurements from Tiger of Sweden's size chart are: 14½ = 34½" (88 cm), 15 = 36" (91 cm), 15½ = 37" (94 cm), 15¾ = 38" (97 cm), 16⅛ = 39½" (100 cm), 16½ = 40½" (103 cm), 17 = 42" (107 cm), 17⅓ = 43½" (111 cm), 17⅔ = 45½" (115 cm) [1]. Waist measurements are not published for this shirt; we recommend following the chest and neck fit as the primary guide.
- Can this shirt be machine washed and dried, or does it require dry cleaning due to the polyamide and spandex content?
- Yes, it can be machine washed at 40°C inside out with similar colors. Do not tumble dry—reshape while wet and hang or lay flat to dry. Professional dry cleaning is also an option [3].
- How does the stretch twill fabric hold up after repeated washing? Does it shrink or lose its shape over time?
- With proper care—washing at 40°C inside out, avoiding the dryer, and ironing on medium—the stretch twill fabric holds its shape well. The spandex content provides good recovery, so it resists sagging and wrinkling. Some shrinkage (up to 3%) is possible, but the fabric remains durable and returns to its original fit after wearing [3][12].
- Is the cutaway collar designed to be worn with collar stays? If so, are stays included?
- The cutaway collar design typically includes slots for removable collar stays, but we cannot confirm whether stays are included with this shirt as they are not mentioned in the product details. Many slim-fit shirts from Tiger of Sweden do not come with stays.
