A very common reason for customers wanting to use our service is to create a slim fit dress shirt. The fit of a dress shirt through the torso and sleeves is critical to the look of the shirt on someone.
All bodies are different in length, width and depth. Ready to wear brands have to err on the side of caution when sizing their dress shirts. This means that the dress shirts will almost always be on the larger side of the scale. This makes it very difficult to buy a genuinely slim fitting dress shirt.
Through our online service customers can ensure that they get a shirt that is designed to fit them and not fit a cross section of the community just because they have the same neck size.
A slim fit dress shirt should not be like a second skin, it is not a t-shirt. A well designed, slim fitting shirt should follow the contours of your body but still allow room to breath and move comfortably. There is nothing worse than a dress shirt that has the buttons pulling laterally across the chest and stomach area.
We generally allow about 4.00” of room from a customer’s submitted waist measurement. This can be reduced to 3.00” if an extra slim fitted cut is requested.
