That is a beautiful shirt!

A ready-to-wear shirt is convenient and can look great, but the reason dress shirt tailors are still in business, and even becoming more popular, is because smart, stylish men know that a tailored shirt is not only unique, it’s more truly flattering and comfortable. No matter what your figure, when you wear a tailored shirt, men and women alike will be impressed, and wonder what it is that makes you look so incredibly good.
Why Use Dress Shirt Tailor?

Even a man’s casual clothes used to be made by hand, custom-fit to the fellow in question. That is part of why, when you look at old photographs, almost everyone looks sharp, even in just basic day wear. Obviously, really well-made designer ready-to-wear shirts will look and feel excellent, but since everyone’s shape is a bit different, a shirt that’s fitted to you exactly, carefully designed to enhance your best features and improve the lesser ones, is going to be a better shirt.

When a shirt is made to your  measurements, it always looks fantastic.


For those who think a tailored shirt is just for the elite crowd, whether they’re pretentious or rich, nothing could be further from the truth. Most tailored shirts will last longer than the average ready-to-wear item, so it often works out to be a better value. In addition, the price isn’t necessarily that high, especially when you factor in all the benefits, the  cost of alterations to make a ready made shirt fit like a custom made shirt. Also finding a tailor with the skills to make the shirt look like it was never altered in the first place. Dress shirt tailors are not only found in high-end shops, and they are definitely not only for the high-end shopper. They’re for anyone who cares about looking their best
