Custom Shirt Review from Custom Suit Shop

This year I received my first custom dress shirts from Custom Suit Shop. Here's my assessment of the resulting shirts.

I was measured for made to measure shirts, and received the 4 shirts about 2 months later. I selected 2 solid colors with french cuffs, and two button downs with stripes. The photo is a detail close up of the cuffs for the striped button down and the blue herringbone shirt.

I was impressed with the huge variety of textures and designs for the cotton fabrics. Some of the available design patterns are clearly different from anything you would see in a ready to wear shirt at a department store. This is good if you want to look different, even in a subtle way, such as a blue shirt with a herringbone pattern in the cotton weave. Plus there are all the standard colors in solids, stripes and checks.

Wearing the finished shirts is very comfortable. I feel they look much better because the fit of the shirt follows the contours of your body exactly. This is not a tight fit, instead the shirt fits your dimensions in a very comfortable way, because of the large number of measurements that are taken to accommodate your own unique body shape.

The fit and workmanship are top notch. I carefully inspected the inside seams of the shirts for defects or problems, finding none.

The cotton feels softer and slightly thicker than the fabric of my $60 ready to wear dress shirts. The buttons appear to be made from a material like mother of pearl. At twice the price of off the rack dress shirts, I feel the custom made shirts are a good value. An Atlanta Realtor friend tells me that he's still wearing the first custom shirts he bought 8 years ago from the same maker. Now that's durability.
