00:00 Winchester Shirts Introduction
Among men’s shirts, one of the most underrated yet stylish ones is the Winchester shirt. It is a great foundational piece for business casual looks, so we’ll take a look at its history and details and share some outfit ideas here to understand why it should belong to every man’s wardrobe.
00:30 What is a Winchester Shirt?
A dress shirt style that is colored, striped, checked, or otherwise patterned but has contrasting collar and cuffs. These are almost always white. You can sometimes find models that don’t have contrasting cuffs but rather that match the body of the shirt.
02:38 History of Winchester Shirts
Learn where the shirt and its name come from.
06:53 Features of a Winchester Shirt
Its contrasting collar, there are no set rules on what type of collar it must be. Therefore, the Winchester can come in pretty much any style of the collar.
** 07:29 Collar Styles - 1. Classic/Point Collar
** 07:40 2. Spear Collar
** 07:48 3. Tab Collar
** 08:02 4. Cutaway Collar
** 08:16 5. Button-Down Collar
** 08:36 6. Wing Collar
9:11 What are the most common colors & patterns for Winchester shirts?
13:09 Outfit Examples - # 1 Classic Navy Business Suit
14:49 Outfit # 2 Gray Herringbone Patterned Suit
15:19 Outfit # 3 Brown Patterned Suit
16:33 Where Can You Buy Winchester Shirts?
While perhaps not as common as they once were in decades past, Winchester shirts are still somewhat common, so you should be able to find them at your local department store or men’s clothing store.
We believe that the Winchester shirt may be the perfect shirt option for bringing a bit of color contrast and dynamism to your outfits while still maintaining a formal air with its white collar and cuffs. In this way, it makes for a subtly dynamic background for your other outfit accessories and, again, is something of an underrated shirt style, so we hope we’ve raised its profile today. - Jak na to + styl
Up until I started to follow GG I didn't even know that these were called Winchester shirts. Thank you !
They are experts when it comes to literature around menswear, in my biased opinion.
@@quietatse I always thought these were called correspondent shirts?
@@markgilbertson1564 No. Two tone or spectator shoes are called correspondents.
Same for me and Goodyear welted shoes. I now own quality shoes because of GG.
Not do the sellers either, I have looked
Winchester shirt is my favourite type of dress shirts! Thank you, Gentleman's gazette! Greetings from Russia!
What a rare match between high level content and high level form. Both what you teach and how you teach it is on such a high level. What a great channel. So much value given and so well presented, too. Thank you.
Loving the new ‘outfit examples’ segment. Always innovating!

Glad to see another delightful person interested in him :D

Gotta appreciate the freestyle dancing by monsieur schneider.
I remember going dress shirt shopping with my dad back in the early 70s as a young girl. I saw Winchester shirts made by Arrow and thought they were gorgeous. I tried and tried to get my dad to get one but alas he never did 😔
Listening to these guys break down outfits is like listening to a great chef break down a meal👍🏾👍🏾
80's power suits will never go out of style! Greed is good!
That Godzilla moment totaly had me! Hilarious!
I really like Raphael’s brown combination. One of my favourite outfits actually looks quite the same (detachable club collar, blue striped body shirt, dark brown jacket and waistcoat, tobacco brown trousers).
I love Winchester shirts and I have quite a couple of them. I used to wear both white collar and cuffs, my shirtmaker pointed out, that the ones with white collar only can also be worn without a jacket, whereas white collar and cuffs will look too "loud" without a jacket.
Preston is a gem! The production value is tops; I love the humor - please keep it up! My first Fort Belvedere shipment comes today! So excited!
I have been looking at Winchester shirts and was searching for a guide to the last night, literally what are the odds haha. The gentleman to the rescue yet again!
I work in menswear and our company tailor uses ex-MTM white collar and cuff samples to "upcycle" his casual check shirts into Winchesters. He has made both spread and cutaway styles and they look terrific! GG viewers may want to ask their tailors to do the same for their old/worn shirts for a more sustainable option rather than buying new. Great video team!
I’ve been waiting for this video for months! I’m so happy it’s finally out!
I worked at Hawes and Curtis for a long time and their shirts are great, I wore Winchester shirts all the time!
I like Winchesters. Light blue with white stripes, and solid yellow, are my two favourite classics. The solid yellow is great with semi formal morning attire.
I love watching ur videos after the hub, they are so calming and enjoyable. Thank you
I'll be on the lookout for Winchester shirts from now on. I've been so sick & tired of the "same old-same old" of men's shirts, that I've been learning to sew!
So far I've made four hawaiian type shirts. (They're easier) They are super casual using print fabric, but ALL have a solid contrasting collar. It really sets 'em off. Never noticed that contrasting collars were "a thing". I thought I'd come up with something new.
This is a video I have been waiting for! I love this style shirt!
Great episode. I especially appreciate the history segment of the shirt.
~Jed 🤠
I thaught these were bespoke where you had returned to the maker to repair them when the cuffs etc had warn out. AS the material would have run out, white was used. So a sign of a humbler man
A Couple of years ago I ordered a Winchester shirt from my shirtmaker. Blue. green, white mini stripe with the white collar and cuffs. Good looking shirt. I find myself wearing my suits without a tie more these days (extra focus on the pocket square) and I don't wear the Winchester shirt as often as i should. Seems like it just goes better with a tie. Hopefully this video will get me wearing it more often.
I live in a tropical climate in SE Asia, so it's rare for me to wear a tie. However, most of my shirts are Winchesters, point collar, hidden button-down, convertible cuffs. I'm also fortunate living in SE Asia that tailors are affordable so all my shirts are made with me going into the shop, picking a fabric, and getting a shirt made from it. I'm sure I wear them more casually than you would prefer, but I like the subtle uniqueness of the style--I don't see that many other Winchester shirts over here.
Would love to have a few sent to me
Indonesia?

@@GarNelson1 ooooh
@@GarNelson1 same situation here in philippines
Preston, you never fail to amuse, which makes your videos more entertaining.
I've always loved the look of this style, especially with some nice cuff links.
Winchester shirts are fun! I wore several of them out some years ago and never replaced them.
Will have to do some shopping, soon.
Just picked up a RL Purple Label Winchester shirt and I knew you guys would have the video I needed!! Thanks
Man, I love Winchester shirts. Been wanting to get my hands on one for awhile now. Personally, I think Winchester shirts would go better with a stroller than with full morning dress. I've found a stroller is better suited for lighter, and more festive occasions where the coloured shirt body would make the whole outfit pop. I think I'll be sticking with a white shirt for full morning dress regardless of the occasion to respect the formality of the outfit. Regardless, I love your guys' content and Preston's style - never fails to make me smile :)
I definitely think it's underrated I like contrast collar shirt very much
Beautiful outfits! :) Also, always a pleasure seeing Raphael act out his "disgusting" roles. ;)
I never knew where they fit on the formal dress scale, much less what they were called. Now I know when to wear them.
I wanted to see a video like this for a long time just so I could see all of the nice shirts.
Striped shirts with a club collar were very popular amongst the working-class in Britain during the 1910's and 20's. The stripes often hid the fact that the shirt had not been dry cleaned, which was too expensive for most working men of that era.
I hate to be the guy correcting grammar, but there's a big difference between striped and stripped! One happens on a shirt, the other happens at a certain type of club.
@@themoderndandy713 Yes, auto-correct has a way of doing that. Edited, thank you for pointing it out!
This was helpful since I just picked up a Brooks Brothers Winchester shirt.
Now i know how they are called, love these shirts.
Thank you for the video, been following the channel for 3 years and never knew the name.
I love how you got Sven to dance just for the clip
I have one that I love but didn't know how to match it. Thanks so much!
Seeing that 80's clip re-awakened my thoughts about suspenders
They’re awesome
Great video! Hawes and Curtis out of London is great too!
couldnt resist and bought one from hawes & curtis hopefully its a good piece of shirt!
I would also like to recommend another above-decent Japanese brand called "Kamakura Shirts" that also sells Winchester shirts in both twill and travelling stretch fabric at the 100$ range with wide and slim fit sizes !!!
I was introduced to the brand by The Kavelier btw
thanks
Hello, Preston. What's happening?
We have sort of a problem here. Yeaahhh, you apparently forgot to include any references to Bill Lumbergh from "Office Space." Did you see the movie? Yeaahhh, if you could just go ahead and make sure you do that from now on, that would be great.
I never heard of this movie before but i looked it up and I understand your comment now. I am not disappointed
❤️ this shirt 👔!! Classic shirt and style. 👍🏽😃
Great video GG
Just ordered a cream prince of whales pattern winchester shirt last week, can't wait for it!
I ❤my Winchester Shirts 💪💪
Uh may zing!!!! Since im a fan of cw hit supernatural. This video lit my evening. And i will purchase some of these beautiful shirts!
Thanks for the information, never knew what these shirts were called, I have 4 of them.
I love it!
awesome video
Great video! The Godzilla was hilarious
😂😂😂
Come on people let's get these gents to one million subscribers! Who's with me?!
Patrick Bateman got me interested in Winchester Shirts 💪😂
:D
The italians from Cordone1956 are making some very nice Winchester shirts, with great collar options.
I’m strongly considering getting Winchester collar shirts for one reason. The movie office space since the character Bill Limbergh usually wore Winchester collar shirts
I have that light blue brooks brother one
Forgotten Weapons and Gentlemans Gazzette combined 😎
Sichuan Opera masks as cufflinks 🎉❤❤❤❤
I like these shirts with a "club" collar
Winchester Shirts these days look great with Summer Linen Suits...
❤ tTt ❤
Were the fashion in London in the late 80's & see them worn at parties in Chelsea last year. Still about.
I've had two shirts made for me by Maximilian Mogg - both are Winchester shirts. It's a subtle way to up your menswear game without being too flashy: People react to your outfit positively, but most of them can't tell you why.
Try the SAVILE ROW COMPANY - very reasonably priced.
Preston breaking character is hilarious 😂
The Howard Hamlin shirt
I just wonder if it is appropriate to dress Winchester shirt within club collar for the morning dress (I plan to use wedding cravat)
Recommendations for Winchester shirt colors/styles as an attorney at a large firm?
call it heresy but i quite like the idea of winchester collar shirts, especially a patterned one, for casual wear with just a pair of trousers and a nice pair of shoes.
I love that a shirt with such a British name and history has it's beginning in the USA. I do like how they look with a jacket, but I find them a little odd when worn with no jacket. I want one now just because of their firearm connection. I guess game night is going to be topless now. *gasp!*
Nice suit
That repurposing joke was really funny
My first one is from Indochino
The store in Stockholm, Sweden, where I will buy my white tie outfit sell Winchester shirts too.
Can you dress down a Winchester shirt? I know you can dress down a dress shirt(to a point) for things like Smart Casual and Business Casual. Is the Winchester shirt too formal for this, or can you wear it with knit wear, like a sweater at home. Maybe a knit tie and a sport coat if you're going out, or even forgo the tie if you're with friends
I have one hugo boss light blue wincheste shirt bought from Nordstrom. I really wanna buy more, but it is really quite difficult to find these in department store. I think it would be better to just go for custom made.
You should have talked about where you make normal shirts into Winchester shirts
I never realized I was a Winchester guy until now.
Seeing as this style was invented in the US, was it worn at all in europe in the past and today? I'd be interested to know how it was introduced to other regions.
I have learned something! I assumed that Winchester was to do with either the Duke of Winchester or the town of Winchester in southern England. I had no idea it was an American invention!
I’ve never been entirely taken with Winchester shirts; I think they can look a bit odd, but I might reconsider based on this.
While there is a Duke of Winchester, I wonder if you're getting confused with the Duke of Windsor, Brother to King George VI and a famous fashion icon in the mid 20th Century
Nice to see Paul Frederick get a mention on the channel. Also surprised they said Thomas Pink since the brand is being eliminated.
Great episode! I have many Winchester shirts. But its almost impossible to find any in a pale green! Especially for under $100.00 Edit: I just realized I am wearing a Winchester shirt in my profile picture!)
I've encountered many women with contrasting collar and cuffs.
😃😉
In the Ivy League clothier world, never heard the term "Winchester". Usually either two tone or contrast collar. Brooks had beautiful Sea Island ones in the 80s.
Why can’t I find those socks on your website?
Can this shirt be match with jean?
Okay, the Godzilla moment was FUNNY!! lol. I don't think I've ever seen Preston incorporate wacky humor into any of his videos. That was nice change up. I wish these Winchester shirts could be worn with v-necks sweaters,..but, I'm not seeing it. Cheers.
If you're able to wear v-neck sweaters with white dress shirts, Winchester shirts are more than acceptable :)
Thank you for your video. I do have a couple of "commentions". I see many "how to" videos and articles but nothing as a list of places where you can buy contrast collar shirts. AND, if they recommend a place, the shirt is in the 60's 70's US Dollars. I have seen some for about 100-300. I do not know who has that kind of money in this economy.
Do you have some input regarding this two parts point?
Needed this. Personally love club collar Winchester shirts🤘🏾
Winchester shirts look best with suits that really could do with more colour. For instance a dark coloured charcoal suit could really do with a winchester shirt, that brings interest to the outfit. White would look too plain in the body.
Hey, do you recommend detachable collars and cuffs? Or are these shirts easy to iron?
For those who aren’t interested in going to the dry cleaners every week (-: which is most convenient and also still avoids wrinkles?
Prince Charles in those photos and slot of the royal family is going for the classic detachable collar, although is is the same look does it count or to be a Winchester does it have to be attached?
Whether the collar is detachable or not, a shirt with a contrasting collar and optionally cuffs is still a winchester shirt.
First! I love winchester shirts :)
Excellent
I like a club collar with my winchesters.
Wow
One issue with the usefulness of the wing collared Winchester shirt - at "official" events in the UK that require morning dress (I.e. events like the Royal Ascot), wing collars are no longer a valid component of the dress code (along with cravats), so you will only get use out of this kind of shirt at less "official" formal daytime events.
It's worth noting that formal ascots and wing tips are still worn in the UK for particularly formal weddings.
The wing tip collar and formal ascot were removed from the Royal Ascot Derby's dress code, partially because the derby is a more casual event, but primarily, at least in my opinion, because all the people showing up who opted for ascots were wearing pink satin pre-tied ascots that just looked awful, and so few people were wearing nice ascots that they just did away with the allowance.
Been eyeing a Winchester shirt but can't seem to find any off the racks ones (Well, one that doesn't cost a bomb that is)
& lol @ 8:54 😂
Same here
T.M Lewin occasionally has one or two Winchester shirts in stock (I think)
@@madsborup9659 Oh really, I haven't seen any. I mostly own TM Lewin shirts!
@@theDapperVault yeah, I just remember seeing them in the webshop at some point
Check out Stanley Lee or Saville Row Company shirts.
Can i find some of your products in Mexico? 🤔
