There are few things better than a man in a well-fitted button down shirt. Button downs are a classic piece in every man’s wardrobe and can be worn almost anywhere. Really, it’s the key to looking clean and stylish, even if it’s casual.
However, a well-fitting button down shirt can be hard to find… And, for some, it’s impossible without personal tailoring. Athletic built men struggle to find a shirt that has a closer fit without getting that “pec gap” at the buttons.
Luckily, Teddy Stratford has seen your struggles and created a solution. Teddy Stratford is a men’s shirt brand with innovative patents and technology that prevents gapping at the buttons for an athletic cut and slim fit. How do they do it? Zippers.
Teddy Stratford Zip Fit Collection
When company founder Bryan Davis got pulled over by a cop while driving in Bangkok, he noticed that the cop’s button down shirt fit him incredibly well. So well that Davis asked where he could purchase one himself. He then discovered the secret: the shirt zipped closed, which created the impeccable fit! Thus, he created the Teddy Stratford Zip Fit Collection that offers a button-down look with a zipper closure, allowing for a better fit than normal shirts.
To make the ‘Best Fitting Shirt on the Planet’, Teddy Stratford did their homework—they analyzed hundreds of torsos to create their golden ratio for a close fit. It’s wider in the chest and shoulders, slimming down at the waist (ideal for the athletic man’s body).
And, if this wasn’t enough, Teddy Stratford takes their shirts to the next level. They’re made in small batches with the highest quality premium materials. Oh, and did I mention they’re all handmade? This is a shirt that doesn’t mess around.
With a shirt like this, you’ll want multiple options. And Teddy Stratford delivers. Casual fabrics, bold colors, or classy solids, there’s a Teddy Stratford shirt for every occasion. Start by shopping their best-selling shirts below.
