Putting A Personal Touch On Your Shirt






by Monica Mae


First appearances count and being well-dressed helps the first impression you make. The way you carry yourself and the clothes you wear are important to create the image you wish to portray. A custom made shirt means that it is tailored to your exact requirements. It adds that something special to your clothes and gives your self-confidence the boost that it requires.

Letting a seamstress create a shirt by following all your demands and instructions makes you fully in charge of the shirt's material and design. You could ask her to use a certain fabric which can be found in your own country or better yet if you have the money to spend, you can have a fabric imported from another country. You can choose from different fabric materials such as silk, cotton, twill or oxford. The buttons of the shirt are also at your mercy. You could have it long, button-down, single or short. You can even have a double-button as closure having a monogram which can be found in a pocket and in the collar cuff to give your shirt a very unique look.

Each person prefers a different cuff style - be it classic, angled or for cufflinks. Pockets are a matter of choice too. Maybe you want a breast pocket, but maybe you don't and prefer hand set pockets, the choice remains entirely yours. Maybe you want to stand out as unique and have contrast trim on your shirt or want stripes running down the side.

You can now finally say goodbye to those unwanted long sleeves and uncomfortable collars. Exact measurements for all the parts of your upper body such as your sleeves, neck, tail, body, coat, chest, weight, height, inseam and waist would all be noted down by your seamstress for the shirt to hug your body just right.

The best part is that you can look your best exactly how you want to and make the shirt in such a way that it complements the rest of your wardrobe. Custom shirts will give you the feeling of luxury and the satisfaction of having a shirt that has had the full attention of the tailor and is not another one just off the rack.
