Revolutionizing the traditional white shirt by making an affordable, breathable, stretchable and wrinkle-free performance dress shirt.
Men, women, adults, teens and children have had their fair share of wearing uncomfortable clothes for the sake of looking good. The traditional white shirt has been a fashion staple for centuries, but can be infamous for its lack of comfort. Whether you’re dressing for formal, business casual, casual, work attire or anything in between, the white shirt fits in. Yet, no one has bothered to make the dress shirt a pleasure to wear.
At Blue and White Collar we have a goal to take the shirt that accompanies you to all of life’s biggest moments and make it the shirt you reach for when it comes to any of life’s moments. Our goal is to provide a stylish classic white shirt that fits any occasion while providing the utmost comfort at an affordable price.
At Blue and White Collar, our shirts reflect our name: they fit any person, in any profession, in any setting.
Material: 85% polyester / 15% spandex
4-Way Stretch: The traditional buttoned shirt feels stuffy, stiff, and is something you can’t wait to change out of at the end of the day. In comparison, Blue and White Collar shirts’ 4-way stretch moves with you so much it’s like wearing a cloud. Unforgiving cotton dress shirts won’t hold you back ever again.
Machine Washable: The Blue and White Collar shirt is constructed with material that can be thrown in the wash at home with no need for any dry cleaning errands. After a day in the shirt, it can be washed, dried, and worn immediately without any hassle.
Moisture Wicking: Whether you work at a desk, behind the wheel, in a warehouse, or anywhere else, our breathable material suits the hot summer days, high pressure meetings, or a last minute post-work pick-up game.
Wrinkle-free: Wrinkles belong to the wise, not to our clothes. Unfortunately wrinkles are stubborn, and most of us aren’t trained garment specialists with impeccable ironing skills. So our shirts are made with a material that comes out of the dryer wrinkle-free.
Affordable: In today’s world of fashion, style, quality and cost are often at odds with each other. At Blue and White Collar, we are committed to have no compromises in any of these areas. Our shirts cost a fraction of what similar performance dress shirts cost while still matching their quality. We have designed a shirt that looks great and feels great at an affordable price.
Traditional Shirt Sizes: For our initial batch(es) of product we will be featuring our shirts in sizes Small, Medium, Large, and X-Large.
Blue Button: We are bringing blue back to the collar. In a world trapped by phone screens and cotton dress shirts, we are showing that we aren’t satisfied with our surroundings. The blue button shows that you are someone willing to work to change your environment.
Modern Slim Fit: With an eye towards clean design and modern style, we created our shirt to look and feel tailored to you with a slim tapered cut.
Fits.me: At Blue and White Collar we pursue style and comfort without compromises in either. This is why we have designed our shirts to have a stylish slim fit without feeling restrictive. We have partnered with Rakuten, one of the largest e-commerce companies in the world, to make fitting easier and more reliable.
Rakuten’s Fits.me technology is incorporated into our platform to ensure that your shirt fits you comfortably and stylishly. After your pledge and at the conclusion of this campaign, each backer will receive an email for sizing, shipping information, and additional details. Included in the email will be a link for Fits.me to find your ideal size. Based on your height, weight, and body shape, Fits.me shows how different sizes fit individual frames so you know exactly how the shirt will fit before you purchase. Here’s how it works:
Our first order of 1000 shirts will arrive in October. That means those who pledge to the project first will receive their shirts by November (*conditions apply based on sizes and sleeve length). Our second batch of shirts will arrive by December to fulfill all pledges and orders.
Based on the success of this Kickstarter campaign, we hope to expand to additional colors and designs.
Covenant House California: For every shirt you buy during this Kickstarter campaign, one dollar will be donated to Covenant House California, an organization dedicated to helping youth, ages 18-24 experiencing homelessness to get back on their feet by supporting their physical, emotional, spiritual, educational and vocational well-being. In addition to monetary funding towards their greatest needs, Blue & White Collar will be donating shirts for schooling, job interviews and other opportunities.

We pledge to do our best to avoid any delays or issues throughout this campaign. We will be completely transparent with any bumps along the road with production, packaging, or shipping. It is unlikely, however, things that could potentially hold up the timeline include: production in China, shipping, and limited sizes.
But no fear. Our team of service-minded employees and fluent Chinese speakers is more than equipped to deal with any issues that come up.
We want to bring you the best quality shirts in a timely manner. We have experienced Kickstarter campaigns who break delivery deadline after delivery deadline. Even worse, when you finally get your product, it is a disappointment. Our number one goal is to get you a superior product and get it to you on time. We spent months before the launch of this campaign perfecting our shirt and ensuring we would have fast delivery on our initial orders, and will do our best to ensure prompt delivery on our later batches as well. We can promise that no matter the challenges we may run into, we will deliver you the best product and make sure that you are satisfied with what you receive.
