No one disputes that a tailored shirt is superior for most in looks, cut and comfort what is more difficult for many is finding tailored shirts they can afford and customize. Ordering tailored-shirts online is not only possible it is relatively simple and a great deal more customizable than the expensive designer name shirts bought ready made from the store.
It is not as hard as it sounds to get tailored shirts made exactly to your measurements. You can take your measurements from your body or from a favorite tailored or well-fitted shirt, you already own.
First, select a fabric and pattern for your tailored-shirt, and then select a cuff style whether it is double button or French cuff. Now you are ready to select a monogram and decide whether you want a pocket or not.
Neck sizes are important and most men know theirs. The neck size is measured around the neck with two fingers between the tape and the neck without pulling the tape tight.
Chest measurements should be taken around the broadest point of the chest.
Waist measurements are taken around the stomach while you are relaxed.
Tailored shirts even allow the wearer to specify length and the measurements for the shirt length should be from the top of the shoulder down to where the shirt should end.
Hip sizes vary and can make the difference between a shirt that fits and one that looks awkward and the beauty of tailored shirts is that measurements of every important part are taken. Hip size measurements should be taken around the buttocks so the tailored-shirt does not bulge or billow or pull around the hips.
Arm lengths is perhaps the easiest part since every man buying a shirt off the rack is required to know his arm and neck size. The beauty of tailored shirts is that finally arm length, neck size and every other part match.
Shoulder measurements are taken across the back where the arm meets the shoulder and these measurements are crucial to a good fit with tailored shirts.
Even armhole sizes are measured for tailored-shirts and this measurement is taken around top of the shoulder under the arm back up to the top. Well-muscled but slender men might find this important as standard off the rack shirts often neglect sizing in this crucial area.
Bicep measurements also make the fit of tailored-shirt and these measurements are taken around the widest point of the upper arm.
Finally, the fit, of the tailored shirt is chosen. Slim fit tailored-shirts hug the body and are excellent for leaner or athletic men while regular fit shirts give a little more leeway and are great for medium built men. Loose fit are for larger men and allow for a lot more room between the shirt and the body, which may suit a man with a regular or large build.
As you can see, getting tailored shirts that fit is a matter of measuring your body, accommodating your tastes in fabric, pattern and style. It shows in the final product, a shirt that fits you alone.
