What it is

A shirt fits at four points: collar, shoulder, chest and sleeve length. The shoulder seam is the one that cannot be altered afterwards, which makes it the point to buy on.

What is included

  • Neck, chest and sleeve measurement
  • Fabric and weave guidance
  • Fit check with the collar buttoned
  • Body and sleeve alterations available
  • Ironing and care instructions

How it works

Measurement

We measure neck, chest and sleeve, and we fit the shoulder seam to the actual shoulder point.

Fabric selection

We explain weave and yarn count: poplin for smoothness, twill for drape and less creasing, oxford for texture and durability.

Fit try-on

We check collar gap, chest room and cuff position with arms raised, not standing still.

Alteration

We take in the body or shorten sleeves where needed, since a shoulder that fits is worth altering around.

Frequent questions

How much room should the collar have?

One finger between collar and neck with the top button closed. Tighter is uncomfortable and looser looks sloppy under a tie.

What does yarn count mean?

Higher counts use finer yarn and give a smoother, lighter fabric. They also crease more easily and are less hard-wearing, so higher is not automatically better.

Can a shirt be taken in at the shoulder?

It is possible but expensive and rarely worth it, because the sleeve has to be reset. Buy on the shoulder and alter everything else.
