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.

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.

Up until I started to follow GG I didn't even know that these were called Winchester shirts. Thank you !

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.

Winchester shirt is my favourite type of dress shirts! Thank you, Gentleman's gazette! Greetings from Russia!

Loving the new ‘outfit examples’ segment. Always innovating!

Listening to these guys break down outfits is like listening to a great chef break down a meal👍🏾👍🏾

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 😔

80's power suits will never go out of style! Greed is good!

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.

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 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 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!

[Falpastymonster]

That Godzilla moment totaly had me! Hilarious!

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 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.

Great episode. I especially appreciate the history segment of the shirt.

Just picked up a RL Purple Label Winchester shirt and I knew you guys would have the video I needed!! Thanks

[hannamakela]

Beautiful outfits! :) Also, always a pleasure seeing Raphael act out his "disgusting" roles. ;)

[JoeZasada]

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’ve been waiting for this video for months! I’m so happy it’s finally out!
