In Short: The Paul Fredrick Non-Iron Cotton Pinpoint Point Collar French Cuff Dress Shirt is a 2-ply cotton pinpoint dress shirt built for weddings and black-tie events. It pairs a point collar with French cuffs designed for cufflink wear, and it's offered in precise neck-and-sleeve sizing, including 17.5/36, so the fit holds up under a structured jacket. The shirt is backed by Paul Fredrick's Perfect Fit Guarantee, which allows easy exchanges. Price: $119.00.
What Makes a French Cuff Dress Shirt Work for a Wedding or Formal Event
A few details separate a dress shirt built for formal wear from one that just happens to be worn to a formal event.
Non-iron performance matters because formal events run long. A non-iron 2-ply cotton pinpoint shirt holds its shape through the ceremony, photos and reception without wrinkling. The 2-ply construction gives the fabric structure and drape, so it holds a clean line under a jacket instead of clinging or bunching.
A point collar sits naturally with neckties and works well under tuxedo lapels. French cuffs are designed specifically for cufflinks, a detail that reads as intentional rather than default.
Precise sizing matters more here than in casual wear. Under a structured jacket, an ill-fitting shirt shows: bunching at the waist, pulling across the chest, a collar gap above the tie knot. That's why Paul Fredrick offers exact neck-and-sleeve combinations, like 17.5/36, rather than generic small/medium/large sizing.
Since 1986, Paul Fredrick has focused on the fit and construction of the dress shirt, and the Perfect Fit Guarantee allows exchanges if your first size isn't right.

Construction Details of the Pinpoint Point Collar French Cuff Shirt
The Fabric
Non-iron 2-ply cotton pinpoint. The non-iron treatment holds a crisp appearance through a full day of wear. The 2-ply weave adds enough weight for the fabric to drape cleanly rather than billow.
The Cuffs
1/4-inch topstitched French cuffs, built for cufflinks rather than standard barrel cuffs. The topstitching keeps the fold of the cuff precise through the day.
The Buttons
1/4-inch topstitched, break-resistant buttons, built to hold up through repeated wear and laundering.
The Collar
A point collar with a top center placket, which creates a smooth, uninterrupted front line under both neckties and bow ties. See our dress shirt collar style guide for how it compares to spread, tab and club collars.
Christopher V. describes the shirt as "delightful material and workmanship" (Christopher V.).

What Customers Say After Wearing It to Events
Customer reviews of this shirt cluster around three themes: fit accuracy, fabric quality and durability. Several reviewers report buying three or more shirts in the same style.
Michael: "I love everything about this shirt because I feel like it's catered just for me" (Michael).
Richard K.: "a beautiful and very well crafted shirt. And they run true to size" (Richard K.).
April S.: "this company is great for their precise fit" (April S.).
One thing to know before you order: this is a classic fit with a top center placket, built for wear under a structured jacket or suit. If you're looking for a slim or modern-cut silhouette, this is a traditional tailored fit rather than an athletic cut.
Sizing, Exchanges and Care
Measure before you order. Take a fresh neck-and-sleeve measurement rather than relying on a size you've worn in the past. Use a soft tape measure. For the sleeve, measure from the center back of the neck, across the shoulder, and down to the wrist bone.
Use the Perfect Fit Guarantee if needed. Exchanges are available if your first size isn't right. If you're ordering for a specific event date, build in a buffer of a week or two in case an exchange is needed.
Caring for the shirt. The non-iron treatment means the shirt doesn't need pressing between hanger and event. Hang the shirt after laundering rather than folding it, for the crispest finish. If you want a sharper crease on the French cuffs before an event, a quick pass with a warm iron on the cuff fold will do it.
