The Formal Shirt is a clothing item added in the Royalty DLC. Nobles of Esquire rank and above require either one of these, or a Eltex shirt, to consider themselves properly dressed and avoid a negative moodlet.
Acquisition
As a complicated garment, Formal Shirts can only be made at tailoring benches, which requires complex clothing & Noble Apparel to be researched in order to be constructed. A Formal Shirt requires 45 of any textile, and 3000 units of work. It can also be found on Imperial Nobles, for sale at traders and as a quest reward.
Analysis
The Formal Shirt is a strong contender for the shirt slot. Compared to the button-down shirt and t-shirt, it takes somewhat longer to make and weighs more, but it shares the better coverage and material cost of the button-down and provides even better cold resistance. Additionally pawns won't require an apparel changes when they gain titles.
While upgrading from the t-shirt to the button-down is highly recommended due to the better coverage, unless there is a dire need for the additional insulation, upgrading from the button down to the Formal shirt is less important. However, should Noble Apparel already be researched there is little reason not to switch any new shirt production to the Formal Shirts.
