Shirts made to your measurements
Shirts are where most people notice the difference in tailor-made clothing first. Collar height, sleeve length, how the body is shaped through the waist, where the cuff sits on your wrist: all things off-the-rack sizing approximates and made to measure simply gets right. They are also the least expensive way to try a tailor before committing to a suit.
What you decide
Collar shape and height, cuff style including single, double or mitred, placket, pocket or no pocket, back pleats, monogram, button choice, and how close the body is cut. If you have no views on any of that, we will make sensible suggestions as you place your order.
You can even opt for mother-of-pearl buttons, which we can fit to any shirt. A small thing, and the one detail people notice on someone else’s shirt without knowing why.
Cotton options worth knowing about
Wrinkle-resistant cottons for travel and for people who do not want to iron. They are treated cottons or blended cotton rather than pure synthetics.
Superfine two-ply cottons, in the higher thread counts.
Choosing cloth
Poplin and twill cottons for shirts you will wash constantly, finer two-ply cottons for something better, linen or cotton-linen for heat. We keep shirting on both floors of the shop.
Bringing a shirt to copy
If you have a shirt that fits you properly, bring it. It is often faster than measuring from scratch, and we will point out anything we would do differently before we cut.
Ordering several
Most people who order shirts order more than one, and it is worth fitting the first before we make the rest. Once your measurements are on file you can reorder from anywhere in the world without coming back to Phuket. We ship worldwide.
How long it takes
Two to three days, usually with one fitting. If your trip is shorter than that, tell us at the start and we will say honestly what is possible.
