Tails Shirt

Salutations

Is there anywhere in the US where I can order a tails shirt? I'd rather not order it from the UK.

Are you talking about one of those black shirts from the 80's that has a tuxedo silk screened on the front?

Just wondering: is there anything about dance tail shirts that is different from what you would get at any men's formal wear shop? I know the jackets and trousers for dancing are different in several respects, but I don't recall hearing about any differences in the shirts.

aawww... did you hurt your widdle finger typing? :wink:

Just the middle one, and I wasn't typing.

Actually, the "ouch" was a reaction to some highway robbery I just happened to observe...

Not necessarily, however the ones usually worn with dance tails are a cut above the pique wing collar shirts you can find at most "wedding" tuxedo shops. The pattern is finer, the finish harder - they are almost 'plastic' (starch practically is a natural plastic remember) by comparison to the soft finish, big pattern pique of the typical tux-shop item. Still the later can work fine in a pinch, and be a good spare to keep on hand (typically having an integral collar and maybe even backup buttons, there's a lot less that can go wrong with them too)
