The Difference Between the Tailored and Traditional Cut Undershirts

Why Undershirt Fit is Important

Undershirts are an essential part of many people’s daily wardrobe, providing an extra layer of comfort and protection for your skin and clothing. However, a poorly fitting undershirt can cause discomfort and irritation throughout the day, which can distract you from your work or other activities.

This is why finding the right fit for your undershirt is so important. A properly fitting undershirt will wear comfortably all day. 

When an undershirt is too loose, it can bunch up under your clothing, causing an unflattering silhouette and discomfort. If it’s too tight, or doesn’t stretch, it can constrict your movement and cause chafing or irritation. 

Mr. Davis understands the importance of a well-fitting undershirt, which is why we offer different cuts and sizes to help you find the perfect fit for your body type and preferences. We offer 13 different size and cut options – more than anyone else we’re aware of. It’s almost like getting an undershirt made for you.

With all those choices, it can be hard to decide what cut and size is right for you. That’s why we’ve written this guide to our cuts. 

The Tailored Cut: Trim and Sleek

The Tailored Cut undershirt is an excellent choice for those who want a closer-fitting undershirt without sacrificing comfort. The cut is designed to follow the natural curves of your body without being too compressive, allowing you to move freely throughout the day.

One of the key features of the Tailored Cut is the way it’s cut in at the waist and back out at the hips. This cut ensures that the undershirt stays in place throughout the day without riding up or bunching, which can be a common problem with other undershirts. This cut also provides a more flattering silhouette, as it accentuates the natural contours of your body. The V-neck is what we call “two-buttons” deep, which means you won’t see it under most dress shirts when you wear it.

Additionally, the Tailored Cut undershirt is made from high-quality materials that are soft, breathable, and moisture-wicking, ensuring that you stay comfortable and dry throughout the day. The undershirt is also tagless, which means there’s no annoying tag to scratch your skin or cause irritation.

Overall, the Tailored Cut undershirt is an excellent choice for those who want a closer-fitting undershirt that’s still comfortable and allows for a full range of motion. The cut is designed to provide a flattering silhouette while staying in place throughout the day, making it the perfect choice for wearing under a variety of different outfits.

The Traditional Cut: The Tee You Don’t Want to Take Off

The Traditional Cut undershirt is designed for those who prefer a looser fit, reminiscent of a classic tee. The cut has zero taper, which means it doesn’t hug the body like the Tailored Cut, but instead provides a roomier fit that’s not too bulky. In addition to being a comfortable undershirt, this cut is perfect for wearing as a lounge or sleep shirt, as it’s super soft and allows for a full range of motion.

One of the key differences of the Traditional Cut undershirt is the V neck. It is 1″ shallower than the V neck on the Tailored Cut. It is two buttons deep on some dress shirts, but is closer to 1 button deep on most.

Like the Tailored Cut undershirt, the Traditional Cut is made from high-quality materials that are soft, breathable, and moisture-wicking, ensuring that you stay comfortable and dry throughout the day. The undershirt is also tagless, providing an additional layer of comfort.

Overall, the Traditional Cut undershirt is an excellent choice for those who prefer a looser fit that’s comfortable and versatile. It’s also better for men with larger waists as there is just more room. Whether you’re wearing it as a lounge or sleep shirt, the Traditional Cut undershirt is sure to keep you comfortable and relaxed throughout the day.

Many Customers Have Both:

At Mr. Davis, the focus is on providing undershirts that fit well and feel comfortable, regardless of the cut. That’s why many customers have both the Tailored Cut and Traditional Cut undershirts in their wardrobe, as each cut offers a unique set of benefits.

One of the great things about Mr. Davis undershirts is that many body types can wear both cuts. If you choose this, you may want to size down one size on theTraditional Cut for a better fit. For example, if you wear a medium in the Tailored Cut, a small in the Traditional Cut will provide a slightly roomier fit, but with less length.

This flexibility in sizing allows customers to mix and match their undershirts based on their overshirt or outfit. For example, if you’re wearing a fitted dress shirt, you may want to opt for the Tailored Cut undershirt to provide a closer fit that won’t bunch up or ride up under your shirt. However, if you’re wearing a looser shirt, want an airier fit for summer, or plan to wear your undershirt as a sleep or lounge shirt, the Traditional Cut is probably better.

Ultimately, Mr. Davis undershirts are designed to be versatile and comfortable, regardless of the cut you choose. With a focus on fit and high-quality materials, these undershirts are sure to keep you comfortable and confident throughout the day.
