Bespoke Mens Shirts

Personalized shirt tailoring is the in thing and very much in trend in UK. Men feel they would get more value for money if they get a tailor made shirt than going in for expensive designer wear. Custom made shirts are perfectly cut and the wearer can choose what style of cut he wants to wear. It enables the wearer to understand the feel of the shirt.

Here are certain tips which one would need to follow in case one wants to go for a tailor made shirt.

• A made to stitch shirt should be perfectly cut and stitched. It should neither be too loose or too tight around the shoulders and chest.
• The wearer should be absolutely comfortable in the shirt, as he has got it tailor made. The cut of the shirt should be contoured according to a person’s body. Depending on the wearer’s build, it should be tailor made. A professional tailor would know what would suite the person.
• The shirt’s cuffs should belong enough so as to enable the cuffs to be folded. There should not be too much fabric left to dangle near the cuffs.
• There should at least be 1 finger distance between the collar and neck when you button your shirt. It should neither be too tight or too loose.
• The cuffs of the shirts should be tight so that when the cuffs are buttoned, the wearer has to unbutton the cuffs before sneaking his arms into the sleeves.

There are other factors which need to be considered while getting a tailor made shirt.

Fabric: it is of utmost importance while selecting. Men’s shirt should be stitched out of cotton fabric. Cotton is most comfortable as compared to other fabrics. The count of the fabric should be high. The higher the count, the better is the quality of the fabric. Some of the most popular cotton weaves are twill,fits and fits, poplin etc. Oxford is the heaviest weave among them.

Collars: Collars should be handmade and not machine made. Collars should have a smooth look and should not look twirled or twisted at the corners. The shape of the wings should be perfect. Both the collars should be of equal shape and length.

Stitching: The tailor should ensure a simple line needle stitching.

If the tailor ensures a single needle stitching, there will be lesser wrinkles and creases, line needle stitching will ensure stronger seams.

Pattern matching : Appropriate use of patterns should be matched. Leave it to your tailor. He knows what best suits you.

Sleeve Packets: They need to be appropriately used. Tailor should ensure proper placing of sleeve packets.

Split yoke: a 4 piece split yoke should be ensured to enable the shirt fall well on the shoulders.

Buttons: They need to be stitched properly by expert hands neatly so that they do not become loose. One needs to ensure that the shirt has a round tail supported by a gusset.
