Dave Hill quotes Daisy in The Great Gatsby on the appeal of a beautiful shirt
Recovering himself in a minute he opened for us two hulking patent cabinets which held his massed suits and dressing-gowns and ties, and his shirts, piled like bricks in stacks a dozen high.

I have to mention the "shirts" chapter in James Salter's novel Light Years ... I'm sorry I've loaned my copy so can't give an excerpt. The pleasure and importance of a well-tailored shirt, and the intimacy between the tailor and his client. Lovely.
