The biggest complaint I hear in custom clothing, by far, is the dissatisfaction of standard, or off-the-rack dress shirts. The fit is always described as tent-like, and it can be frustrating for the buyer, especially those who need to have a clean, professional look.

Even the untrained eye can see the ill-fitted dress shirt. Look at that gentleman standing on the corner. As the wind blows, his shirt puffs up as if a hot-air balloon is about to take him away. It looks like a family of four could fit in that shirt. He looks like most everyone else.

Now, think of the best-dressed person you know. Its likely he buys custom dress shirts, as his shirts have a trimmer fit, a variety of collar and cuff styles, and beautifully matched ties. That is why he has that sharper image. He takes pride in how he looks, and the perception is he knows how to take care of the details.

Take a look at custom shirting options, and you will find the following:

1. Hundreds of fabric options.

Those fabrics are cut off the bolt, and a pattern is made specifically for you. Hundreds of stripes, patterns, colors, and a wide variety of crisp white shirt fabrics are available. There is an endless supply of choices.

2. Tapered to fit your body.

Youll never suffer through the tent-like fit of a typical dress shirt again. Look clean and feel comfortable.

3. Collar and cuff options.

Spread collars, button-downs, button-under collars for casual or sport shirts, varied collar lengths if you choose. Many different French and button-cuff styles. Choose custom shirts with or without pockets. This can all be done quite easily with custom shirts.

Without question, proper fit is the number one request of our clients who buy custom shirts. Once you put on a custom-fitted shirt, all the others that you own will likely be relegated to the back of the closet, or donated to your local charity. Give custom shirts a try, and project that image that you, too, know how to take care of the finer details.
