Custom Dress Shirts for the Discerning Man

Custom Bicep Width

Sleeves are an often overlooked area of a dress shirt, and many of you have had to suffer at the mercy of either too-tight or too-big sleeves. In our experience, we’ve found that by specifying the Bicep Width, you can get a truly custom fit in the arm of your shirt!

Here’s how to get your custom Bicep Width:
In order for us to communicate to our tailors exactly what sizing you’d like for this area, please measure the Bicep Width of a shirt you own that fits well, and let us know the width (not circumference) that you would like us to use for the Bicep Width, as in the photo below.

After you find your desired Bicep Width number, send us an email with this measurement right after you place your order, so we can send this amendment over to our tailors. (The sooner, the better, as we have a short window of time that allows us to make changes to the order before the tailors begin cutting your custom pattern!)

Custom Arm Hole Opening

Sometimes, part of a custom fit is dependent on the Arm Hole Opening of the shirt. If you’ve ever experienced a shirt that seemed so tight that the opening of the sleeve seems to ride up into your armpits, or so loose that the sleeve seems to droop too far down and billows out at the shoulder, then you’ve experienced an ill-fitting arm hole opening.

Fortunately, we can change the opening of the sleeve width.

When you know the number you need, email us immediately after placing your order so we can attach your request to your measurements before the tailors begin stitching your shirt. (We have a short window of time that allows us to make changes to the order before the tailors begin stitching.)

Custom Cuff Width

Cuffs are an important component of the overall fit of the dress shirt. In matters of fit, the pieces of a shirt fit together like a puzzle, one piece after another—each dependent on the next for its individual shape and cut.

Our tailors cut the Cuff Width in proportion to the Sleeve Width…which is made in proportion to the Arm Hole opening…which is dependent on the proportions of the Chest Width. But, we are a custom company, and we know from experience that all bodies are created differently. It’s natural that from person to person, these proportions can be different.

For this reason, we offer our customers the opportunity to specify a custom Cuff Width—depending on your wrist size or the size of your favorite watch, we can make you a cuff that feels comfortable. Just email us immediately after placing your order so we can attach your request to the order before the tailors begin cutting the pattern for your shirt.

It’s easy to determine your custom Cuff Width.

French Cuff Enthusiasts, please take note: With Regular (single and double button cuffs) we measure across the full width of the cuff. But for French cuffs we measure from the middle of the button hole to the opposite edge. (See photo below)
