In need of some spring cleaning? Your favorite dress shirt will get dirty from time to time. With proper care, a high quality dress shirt like ours can last for several years, continue to maintain performance properties and never fade. In this post, we’re going to break down four washing and caring methods that'll make your fast-paced life easy. 

1. One of the best ways to care for a TAHAANGA wrinkle resistant shirt is to machine wash it. Simply toss it in the washing machine on normal cycle and you're all set! 40 C, (104 F)

2. Take your Tahaanga shirt to your favorite dry cleaners. There's nothing more hassle-free than dropping off your button down shirt, getting it back the next day, with sweat-wicking properties that never faded!

3. Traveling and don't have time for laundry? Simply hand wash your wrinkle resistant button down shirt and line dry it anywhere you are, at any time. Its quick-dry property will make sure your shirt will feel like it just got out of the tumble dryer. 

4. No need for ironing - get unwanted creases out of your dress shirt just by hanging it in the bathroom while you shower! By the time you get ready, your Tahaanga dress shirt will look as good as new: wrinkle resistant. And don't worry about a mildew smell either - it's odor resistant! 

Spring is just around the corner, and after months of sitting inside a dark closet or hallway, it's time to bring out that trusty bike of yours! Give it a good polish and watch it shine like new. Biking is one of the most efficient and effective workouts, both on the open road and in a class. But there's one thing that bothers you - the sweat! So what do you do? Wear an undershirt? Change as soon as you get to your destination? No, and no. Solution: put on a Tahaanga shirt.

One of the most important and necessary staple garment in a man's closet: the dress shirt. Most of us have our favorite dress shirt (or two), but how many actually know the perfect fit for your body type? In this edition of the Tahaanga blog, we will be talking about the specific points to look out for when trying on a dress shirt. 

Find Your Fit

There is more than just one type of dress shirt fit. In addition to the classic fit (which will depend on the men's dress shirt companies), there is the extra slim fit, slim fit, and the regular fit. It is up to the wearer to decide how they want their dress shirt to look on them - modern and tight-fitting; loose and traditional; or somewhere in between? 

The Classic Fit 

The sophisticated fit for CEO and boardroom meetings, the classic dress shirt is the most relaxed fit of all 4. The shirt will have generous room around the chest, with loose armholes and sleeves. 

The Regular Fit

Slightly more fitted than a classic, the regular fit features a relaxed armhole, wide collar, and a comfortable opening at the waist. 

The Slim/Tailored Fit

More clean cut throughout, the slim fit dress shirt is catered to customers who want to explore a more form-fitting dress shirt without feeling restricted. The shirt is narrower through the chest, with a slightly higher armhole; straight sleeves; and tapered towards the waist. 

The Extra-Slim Fit 

The most precise-fitting dress shirt there is, the body-conscious fit will undoubtedly enhance your figure. This is the dress shirt for the fashion-forward and modern gentleman. It fits exact across the chest; has tight armholes; a narrow collar; slim sleeves and a close-fitting opening at the waist.
