This WEBpage is "interactive" by size ~ however, you must press the Go Search! (button) ... and make the WEBpage "flash" which shirts are available in your size. In other words, after you press Go Search!, the WEBpage flashes (only) the color swatches that are in-stock in your size.

Start by making selections (size, collar, brand, etc.), then you MUST PRESS "Go Search!" (button). That "resets" the page, showing color fabrics in YOUR size. (Scroll down the page to see the fabric swatches.) If you change your selections, you MUST press Go Search! again.

TIES: Press "click for TIES" (button) to see the TIE homepage.

ORDER: Write down your favorite shirt #'s + tie #'s, .... then PRESS "Order" (button).

America's Shirt is the world's 1st shirt & tie WEBsite (10,000+ customers, 65 nations) ... the world's largest dedicated to shirts & ties. Our newest software (version 3.0 ~ interactivity by size) leads the world in self-service robotic technology.

When we receive electronic orders from our customers ~ we simply printout & pack the order ~ at great labor savings. It's (free) self-service ~ you do the typing ~ your name, address, credit card information goes straight into our data/systems FREE ~ no labor. We simply printout, and pack the order in 4-5 minutes.

It's streamlined ~ you type the data for us ~ self-service, at your home. With the WEBrobotics, we ship shirts/ties at much (40%) lower cost structures than ever thought possible.

We have 12,000 shirts in-stock, far more than physical stores. And, we have world-class buying power ~ our WEBprice is within $4-$5 of wholesale menswear, saving $12-$19 per shirt/tie.

Unlike physical retail stores & catalogs ~ we are sincerely committed to creating "electronic" savings for our customer. Not so, for large retailers ~ stuck with wrong investments in physical locations. Our business is nearly 100% via the WEB, which dramatically lowers prices ~ vanguard software, catalyzing lower prices.

COLLAR

BUTTON-DOWN: Traditional collar, buttoning through the collar.	POINT: Standard collar. Our POINT collar is exact/standard ~ not too long, not too short. A few POINT collars are marked "curved POINT", which is higher fashion (Pat Riley, Magic Johnson) ~ where the collar curves outward a little, and still comes to a POINT.)	TAB collar: Higher fashion. A small strip of fabric snaps under the TIE, to hold the tie up higher in the air.

FABRICS

TTX: Threadtex (TTX) is the world's largest broker of expensive (Japanese, Italian, etc.) fabrics. A TTX all-cotton fabric is certified, and has a sheen (satin finish) ~ the best fabric in the world. TTX shirtings have a subtle "silkier" texture. Threadtex offers the best 80's 2-ply pinpoint.

80's 2-PLY: The world's standard for better corporate 100% cotton pinpoint oxford shirts. 80's weight thread is finer (weaving finer fabric) than the coarser 40's weight (non-pinpoint) OXFORD. 2-Ply means that two 80's weight threads spindled together to "double reinforce" the all cotton fabric, so a hole won't develop in the woven fabric.

Pinpoint Oxford vs. BASIC Oxford: Pinpoint oxfords use the finer (80's weight) threads to make a higher-end fabric, more sheer/fine than standard oxford cloth. It's like better bed sheets ~ a higher PERCALE count means more "dots per inch" ~ better, finer fabric.

Blended PIMA pinpoint: Blended (60% cotton/40% poly) shirts hold their press longer throughout the day. A blended "pinpoint" is still the finer pinpoint material ~ it's blended for people who prefer practicality, easier wash/wear. Our blended pinpoint is a 2-ply (double thread, reinforced) fabric ... which is higher-quality.

OXFORD cloth: The original heavy-weave, button-down shirt. Now, it's considered a BASIC, inexpensive shirt. Excellent, rugged shirt. . (However, 90% of people select the corporate "pinpoint" shirts.)

Broadcloth: The lightest weight fabric ~ like poplin, or lightweight bedsheet material. 100% cotton broadcloth will wash down to a soft "cottony" feel, getting softer over time. CHAMBRAY (denim blue) is in this category ~ it's a beautiful fabric ~ it's denim, but very sheer/expensive. Corporate with a tie, or casual, cooking steaks.

BRAND:

USA, generic: An excellent high-quality US manufacturer (ENRO) ~ one of the best (highest quality), making for large department stores, and the best quality maker of Big & Tall. B/T customers should choose USA generic ~ longer tails, better fitting.
A very well done shirt ~ indeed the size specifications, tail length, and collar construction are often better than branded shirts, well-constructed.

SERO: A well-known shirting house, specializing in 100% cotton shirts both TTX pinpoints and 100% cotton broadcloth. Their TTX 80's 2-ply fabric shirts are beautiful ~ our best shirt.
Sero uses slightly smaller shirt specifications ~ the USA generic shirts are fuller fitting.
Sero closed their factory in March 1997 ... we CANNOT purchase supply now.

CUFF:

STANDARD: Standard cuff. FRENCH CUFF: Higher fashion. A special cuff (pinched at the cuff), worn formally with cuff links.

ATHLETIC FIT:

Athletic Fit (trim fit) is the same (full) size in the shoulders, but tailored smaller at the waist. It's for men with large (athletic) shoulders and a trim, athletic waist.
A limited selection ~ it's only available in solid (white or blue) button-down, in the blended PIMA pinpoint.
Sleeves must be selected in 32/33 or 34/35 "average" sleeve length.
Tall athletic available in 35/36 and 37/38 sleeve, must purchase in boxes of TWO (call, special order only).

OFFICE/GROUPS: (3-12 people) ~ call: 317-321-9999, required

WHOLESALE (12+ units): (call: 317-321-9999, required)

Excellent, high-tech buying group (pants, sweaters, suits, shirts, ties).

"DOZEN IN A BOX" (ties):
Groups (3-12 people) may "extra-order" ties 12-36 at a time ~ AND return "rejects" in the mail.

Office/groups typically order 24-36 ties. Then, we include a postpaid, return mailer ($3 service) ~ so, you can return ties you don't like. It works very well in accounting firms, financial institutions, banks, insurance, and stock brokerages.

Since ties are so tactile (must be touched) ... we ship "Dozen in a BOX", let customers "touch" 12-24 ties, and then ~ keep some, return some.

INDIVIDUALS: Individuals who order 12+ units are also entitled to the wholesale price.

CORPORATE: For large corporations, like Ford, BankOne, Microsoft ~ we build "wholesale direct" shirt/tie WEBpages, custom-tailored to that corporation.

It eliminates store markup completely ~ a high-tech "employee benefit package", or "company store on the WEB".

It's a way large corporations can negotiate directly with shirt manufacturers, and eliminate store markup for all employees ~ a fantastic advantage. Employees save 50%+ on shirts/ties ~ typically saving each $200 per year ~ a wonderful company benefit.

CEO's and Human Resource directors are the best people to contact us for corporate WEBpages. We build the WEBpage (free), complete with corporate "employee store" logo, and a separate WEBaddress.
