Sport shirts are great for the working and active man who desires performance and style in a top that’s easy to wear. The sport shirt has a very specific look desired by many, and they’re made widely available to big and tall men thanks to our intuitive sizing and comfort-driven details. We have short and long-sleeve sport shirts that feature the style’s signature characteristics, like bold prints, relaxed fits, and convenient chest pockets. Our sport shirts are available in sizes ranging from L to 9XL, and they come in a variety of colors and patterns to please.
Our big and tall sport shirts differ from our dress shirts in several ways. Dress shirts are typically more conservative in terms of styling and color, whereas sport shirts are bolder and more relaxed in both pattern and cut. Dress shirts also have stiffer collars and collar tabs to accommodate the weight and use of a necktie, but sport shirts usually have soft, relaxed collars.
When it comes to sizing, dress shirts take into account the need to measure neck and sleeve sizes to ensure your shirt looks clean, crisp, and well-fitted under a suit. Sport shirt sizing is much more straightforward and forgiving. Fabrics differ between the two, as well. Dress shirts are often made from a “finer” and more fitted material, whereas sport shirts can be made from a variety of different and more relaxed materials, including cotton, denim, and flannel.
The verdict: dress shirts and sport shirts are very distinct garments that most likely shouldn’t be worn freely for the same types of activities. Wear a dress shirt in professional environments and for special occasions, but choose a sport shirt if you’re a tradesman, partake in outdoor activities, and if you’re attending a more casual event.
Men who work with their hands, work outdoors, or work in a trade profession are going to love our big and tall sport shirts. We have several rugged styles that are designed specifically for wearing on the job. When you’re out in the elements, you need protection from the sun and your tools in addition to the ability to move freely.
Many of our working sport shirts feature the “Room2Move” fit with side gussets for greater range of motion. In addition to roomy interiors, several of our sport shirts also include invaluable details, like chest pockets with pencil storage, durable materials, moisture-wicking technology, and easy-care stain-release fabrics. Pair our sport shirts with rugged jeans or cargo pants and a pair of work boots from our shoes and accessories shop.
