Made-to-Measure Men's Shirt
Complete your made-to-measure suit with a perfectly fitted shirt. Premium Italian fabrics, customisable collars, refined finishes.
Sommaire
Introduction
A made-to-measure shirt transforms the experience of wearing a suit. While your suit is cut to your exact measurements, it would be inconsistent to wear it with a standard shirt that gapes at the collar, pulls at the shoulders or bunches at the waist. A made-to-measure shirt guarantees perfect harmony.
Complete your three-piece suit, your business suit or your wedding suit with a made-to-measure shirt to guarantee the harmony of your outfit. We create shirts coordinated with your suit: a perfectly adjusted collar, cuff diameter to fit the thickness of your watch, the correct back length to keep the shirt tucked in.
Perfect Fit
Over 20 measurements guarantee an impeccable fit: a collar that neither pinches nor gapes, shoulders without creases, a waist that is fitted without being tight. Absolute comfort.

Why Choose Made-to-Measure?
Technology today allows a made-to-measure suit to be offered at the price of a ready-to-wear suit, or even less. Benefit from a perfect fit to your body shape at no additional cost.
Choisir le Bon Tissu
The choice of fabric determines the appearance, comfort and durability of your made-to-measure shirt. To accompany a made-to-measure suit, favour fine fabrics that match the standards of your suit.
Types de Tissus
Popeline
The quintessential formal fabric. Tight, smooth weave, matt and elegant surface. Ideal with business and formal suits. Easy care.

Correct Drying
Ideally, air dry on a hanger. Otherwise, use the tumble dryer on the 'iron-ready' setting, no hotter.
Expert Ironing
Iron set to 'cotton' (150 degrees) and 'steam'. Keep the iron moving.
Order: collar, cuffs, sleeves, back, front.

Professional Dry Cleaning
Beware of low-end dry cleaners, whether for your shirts or suits - the products used are harsh and prematurely wear out the fabrics.
Favour an eco-friendly dry cleaner.
For daily wear, home washing and steam ironing are sufficient.
