For me, the classic look can’t be beat. Fashion trends come and go, but the classics endure forever. Also, my sense of dress clothing is deeply ingrained from watching the Bond films too many times growing up. So, keeping that in mind, my ideal dress shirt would be:

Fabric #4-2-2 Blue
Classic spread collar
2-Button, square-edge cuff (since I don’t see my preferred cuff)
No Pocket!
Panel Front
Side Pleats
A fit somewhere between form and regular.

White #4-1-1
Narrow straight point collar
square edge french cuff
no pocket
panel front
center box pleat
regular fit
1 important thing if this is really a custom shirt: the collar must fit to hide a long neck so that, when I’m wearing the shirt, the back of the collar is displayed properly.
And, no matter what, a white shirt calls for a light grey undershirt ,invisible under the shirt, unlike a white shirt, which usually “shines” through.

I can only imagine the feeling and confidence of sporting a perfectly fit shirt. I have never owned a custom tailored shirt. Reading your article was eye opening and inspiring as usual. I wait with fingers crossed.
