The best way to order a custom shirt is to visit the shop in Johannesburg, to see examples in person, try on sizes, or start the fitting process.
Choose a fabric or choose a shirt from the styles on the rack
look through and feel our catalogue of fabrics in person or online
We offer over 1000 fabric choices from three Italian fabric mills, Canclini, Solbiati, and Bonfanti
We also stock a small selection of Japanese shirting fabrics
browse through the shirts on the rack for inspiration
Choose the fit that's right for you:
try on the men's standard sizes on the rack to see if they work for you
if the standard sizes can be improved upon, we will start the custom fitting process by measuring your figure and then pinning and sculpting the calico fitting pattern
for women, we offer custom-fit only, so we will take your measurements once you are ready to order
if you've already had a custom pattern made, we can use it to make another shirt for you
Customize the design details:
start from scratch with the design and choose collar, cuffs, pockets, buttons, and all the other details individually, or get inspiration from the shirts on the rack
we will help guide you through the process so that your shirt is flattering and comfortable, in addition to being tailor-made
Shirts and shirt-dresses range in price from R2500-R4500, depending on the fabric and the design details chosen.
For a custom fit, there is an initial deposit of R1000 for the custom pattern. The deposit is applied as a credit towards the fifth shirt ordered. In effect, the custom pattern fee is waived if the client orders 5 shirts or more.
