I love Facconable dress shirts.

I hope bonobos stays away from the trend to label everything as “Slim” Fit. By all means, don’t make a shirt that is classic, or regular fit which tend to billow out at the waist and fit guys like a hefty trash bag, make one that fits properly – but the trend of labeling everything as “slim” is getting a little overplayed. How about calling the fit “proper”

No shirt pockets! PLEASE! So unnecessary!

Couldn’t agree more with Troy H. above. Even calling it “modern fit” would be better than slim. I’d imagine the majority of men get scared by the slim label. I filled out the survey and can’t wait for more news on the shirts. Have you guys thought of providing options on each dress shirt much like the options of flair or no flair on the pants? Mainly I’m referring to:
-spread or pinpoint collars
-barrel, one-button or French cuff sleeves
-with or without a front pocket
Just some things to keep in mind, but Im sure you’ve taken those into account in your process.

Spread collars are bad ass! Much better than the 90% of dress shirts you see in corporate America are van heussen or worse – Stafford by JC Penney

I could care less about what you call the fit … I dont think seeing “slim fit” on a good looking shirt has ever stopped me from purchasing it. Just make sure they look good, and for god’s sakes don’t make any pleated shirts.

I rambled on enough about this in my comments in response to the survey, but please consider providing options for people like me with long arms. My sleeve length is 35 1/2; I end up making do with 35″ sleeves but even those are very hard to find. And while sleeves can be shortened, they of course cannot be lengthened!
Agree with Kyle and Troy — some spread-ish collar options would be great.

I hope to see shirts with spread/cutaway collars. I can’t stand when dress shirts have collars that don’t stand up well when the top two buttons are undone. Not a fan of shirt pockets, and a tailored fit is a must. Small details such as red thread holding buttons on a white shirt can be fun. Also a fan of patterns on the underside of cuffs and under collars, when appropriate.

I like the idea of “proper fit”, but whatever, make them what we all know as slim fits, and some great patterns still suitable for the office. And I second Dave… keep those long arms in mind — that is make a “proper” fitting shirt, in which the sleeve doesn’t end 3/4 down the arm.

Please include gauntlet buttons. They make the sleeve appear neater.
I think we’re stuck with using “slim fit” or similar wording, otherwise, there needs to be a way to effectively communicate how the shirt will fit to the customers.

[...] here’s the deal – We’ve mentioned this cause before (here and here). The sheer number of responses to be included in the Alpha and Beta shirt programs [...]
