What about Governor Rick Perry’s dress shirts?
Let’s forget for a moment what the debates, the issues, are really about. What would it be like for you if you watched the Republican debates without sound? Would a candidate stand out based on body language? Would one stand out in particular according to the wardrobe? Would it be a combination of the two?
With over 25 years of experience designing, retailing and buying menswear for my own collection and that of other high-end Italian clothing collections, I can say that watching these debates without sound is quite interesting. based on what candidates wear for each. . For the purposes here and as you can read in the title of this article, an internet search has been conducted for the manufacturer of the Rick Perry t-shirts. I don’t know who makes them or where they are made. I think the interest in his jersey is mainly due to the size and height of his neck compared to the other candidates.
Most dress shirts have a standard collar height in the back of 1.25 to 1.5 inches. That neck height tends to fit more people as it gives you room to move your head and doesn’t sit too high against your jawline. If you notice Rick Perry’s shirts, his collar is getting closer or may be two inches high. The reason I say this, without having first hand knowledge, is that I personally have a long neck and love a two inch necklace. For me, it is in the right place, below the jaw line. My head doesn’t look like it’s sitting on the collar itself. I can also show more of the shirt collar sticking out from the back of my suit jacket collar.
If you watch the YouTube replay of the various debates, you can see that her neck is high and comes close to her jawline. For his body shape and style, a neck approaching or two inches is too tall for him. It should have a standard neck height of 1.25 to 1.5 inches. I think that would make it look more presentable and more presidential, if your shirt collar makes you look like a president. I guess nowadays you need everything to go your way and win a nomination or an election. The wrong color can put you out of business, as the photo can go around the world in a matter of seconds.
My conclusion, as you can tell from the previous paragraph, is that Rick Perry needs to change his shirt. It’s not that the quality isn’t good or the fit isn’t up to par, but the style of the neck relative to the style of your body isn’t giving you the best presentation you can have in front of the American media and the American public. . As subtle as a proper shirt collar can be, new, clean and fresh is extremely important.
