@orestesdd (a year later ha) Typically best fabric for men's shirts is what is known as broadcloth. It's a simple 100% cotton with standard weave. Twill is also very nice visually and texturally. Make sure to match weight with season as Ms. Vague here says. Honestly there is no cost-effectiveness as off-the-rack shirts are so cheap and mass produced. The main reason is for fit and style. Pick up a pattern, make one-offs with muslin or use old sheets and fit to size. Alter pattern as needed.

what kind of fabric do you use for men's shirts? Could you be more specific? Is it more cost-effective to make my own shirt (I am a man) than buying it at the store?
