Pinpointing The Best Custom Made Dress Shirts Within The Country

The hunt for the right clothing can be either an enjoyable or frustrating experience, depending on where you look and what you seek - whether shirts, pants, hats, pajamas, or others.

The man who wears custom dress shirts is the one who’s well-dressed. Because off-the-rack shirts are made for one standard and one body-type, they rarely fit anyone well. Instead, a custom shirt is made exactly to your measurements and specifications, meaning it fits well and looks great.

If you’re thinking about ordering one or a number of custom dress shirts, read on for a list and review of some of the best dress shirt makers in the country.

Liste Rouge Paris

Liste Rouge Paris is based in Paris, France with their main workshop in Normandy. However they also have an office and workshop in New York. You can order your shirt either through their storefront or directly from their website (listerouge-paris.com). When ordering remotely, you will need to take your own measurements or visit a tailor to have your measurements taken for you.

Liste Rouge has been featured in GQ magazine, Maxim, Trump, Esquire, House & Home, Fine Living, Lifestyle and more. They were also recently voted the Best Men’s Tailor by the New Yorker Magazine.

Scott Kuhlman Men’s Store in Seattle

Combining old traditions with hip styles and fashion-forward tailors who know how to both fit and style, this men’s store is one of the best on the West Coast for custom-made dress shirts. They have hundreds of fabrics from Europe and Asia from which to choose. Kuhlman opened his first store in Seattle over seven years ago, but now has close to 40 shops across the U.S., including in New York, Boston and Washington D.C.

Houston’s Hamilton Shirtmakers

Hailed and applauded by Men’s Vogue magazine, Hamilton Shirtmakers are a small, yet very well-known custom shirt-making company based in Houston Texas. The majority of their business is done over the web or through mail order.

Customers can either take their own measurements and send them in or be measured at an affiliated retailer. At that time, a custom pattern is designed for you, based on your exact measurements - allowing you to order shirts at will.

The tailor has relationships with stores in most states. They also offer readymade options for those who prefer to buy off the rack.

Custom dress shirts aren’t just a statement - they’re a commitment to wearing clothing that’s unique and well-fitted. So, stop squeezing yourself into shirts that are too tight around the collar but sagging in the underarms, and start wearing shirts that not only fit great, but look great as well.

Most custom-shirts will cost between $175 and $250 to have made. However, if it’s a shirt you will wear for years, then it’s well worth the cost.
