Custom Tailored Dress Shirts
Most shirts today are the product of mass
production and created in standard
sizes,
standard materials, and standard
patterns.
If you prefer a shirt that fits
to your form
and tastes, you should consider
custom tailored
shirts instead. Most shirtmakers
offer:
- a wide selection of quality fabric that includes
Egyptian cotton (the quality standard),
Thai silk, pinpoint oxford, and linen
- colors and patterns that suit your style
and personal preference
- a variety of cuffs, collars, yoke (in the
back), and button styles. If you prefer,
you should be able to choose with or without
pocket.
A custom tailored shirt requires
a series
of measurements, of course, but
to ensure
your complete satisfaction, check
for these
features as well:
- a selection of shoulder profiles to allow
for rounded or squared shoulders so the shirt
sits properly on your back
- a choice of posture and arm position because
few of us stand like a military officer and
some like to carry their arms more forward
or more to the rear of the center line when
viewed from the side
- collars styles that account for the angle
that your neck connects up with your shoulders.
You may carry your head more forward or further
back (in case you are a military officer)
than many people. Collar size should fit
your neck length whether short, long, or
somewhere in the middle.
- arm, stomach and chest measurements so that
the shirt fits properly in all aspects rather
than stretching too far or appearing too
short at the cuff or belt line.
Many places will record your weight at time
of fitting. That's because a change in your
weight can affect the measurements and shape
of your torso. |
