CLIFTON Dawson Custom Button-Down Shirt

The Dawson Custom Button-Down Shirt is our fully custom, made-to-order shirt for businesses, hospitality teams, events, brands, clubs, and groups looking for a sharper alternative to a polo or casual printed shirt. Choose from three lightweight fabrics and build the design around your colors, artwork, logos, fit, and finishing details.

Why Choose the Dawson?

• Smart and versatile: Ideal for corporate uniforms, hospitality teams, events, branded apparel, and elevated casualwear.
• Designed from scratch: Created around your business, event, brand, or group rather than decorated as a stock shirt.
• Three fabric options: Choose a softer natural feel, crisp cotton, or brighter performance printing.
• Multiple fits: Mix Classic and Slim fits across men’s, women’s, and children’s sizing within the same order.
• Free design support: Start with finished artwork, a reference image, rough sketch, or simply an idea.

Fabric and Feel

• Soft Poly-Cotton: Lightweight, breathable, and soft with a lightly textured feel and slightly mottled print effect. A good choice for subtle or vintage-inspired patterns.
• Performance Stretch: Smooth, lightweight polyester with slight stretch, good wrinkle resistance, and an easy drape. Its clean surface produces the brightest colors and sharpest fine details. Our top recommendation for detailed prints, small logos, and bold color reproduction.
• 100% Cotton: Lightweight and breathable with a soft yet crisp cotton feel. It provides the most natural, traditional shirt finish, although very fine artwork may appear slightly softer.

Choosing the Right Fabric

Choose Performance Stretch for small text, fine linework, detailed logos, intricate graphics, or maximum color vibrancy.

Choose Soft Poly-Cotton for a softer, more relaxed feel with a lightly textured finish.

Choose 100% Cotton when natural fibers, breathability, and a crisp traditional shirt feel are the priority.

Fit and Garment Options

The Dawson is available in Classic and Slim fits, with men’s, women’s, and children’s options that can be mixed within the same order.

Available options include:

• Custom collar and cuff styles
• Short or long sleeves
• Contrast plackets, collars, cuffs, and internal linings
• Optional pockets
• Custom buttons, trims, labels, and personalization

Customization

Customize base colors, Pantone-matched shades, original patterns, all-over artwork, logos, embroidery, collars, cuffs, pockets, plackets, trims, buttons, labels, and individual personalization.

Printed designs form part of the fabric artwork rather than being added to a pre-made stock shirt.
