a.d. sartorial Shirting: made to measure refined
A made to measure shirt from Allan David Bespoke Tailoring is more than an alternative to off-the-rack clothing; it is a garment shaped with precision to reflect your proportions, preferences, and personality. By combining the principles of custom tailoring with modern efficiency, we ensure that every custom dress shirt delivers comfort, elegance, and distinction.
made to measure shirt process
1. initial consultation & style planning
Your journey begins with a private consultation where we discuss the role your shirts play in your wardrobe. Whether you need everyday staples, business attire, or refined eveningwear, we take the time to understand your lifestyle and preferences. This is where details such as collar style, cuff shape, and fit preferences are considered, ensuring your made to measure shirts suit both your needs and your image.
2. try-on fitting
The try-on fitting is where the transformation begins. Using a base shirt, we fit the garment directly to your body and record every necessary adjustment to achieve the desired result. Sleeve length, collar fit, shoulder width, body taper, and overall balance are refined at this stage. This process ensures that your made to measure shirt moves naturally with you and provides the comfort, proportion, and polish that define a truly custom tailored dress shirt.
3. fabric & detail selection
The fabric is the foundation of every great shirt. You'll have access to a curated selection of premium shirtings in a wide range of colours, weaves, and patterns. From crisp white poplins for business to luxurious twills and bold checks for casual wear, your choices define the character of your shirt. Personalization continues with options such as monograms, contrast linings, and button styles, making each shirt a reflection of your unique style.
4. production
Once your selections are finalized, your made to measure shirt is crafted with precision to ensure exceptional balance, clean construction, and refined finishing. Every seam, stitch, and detail is considered, resulting in a shirt that is both elegant and durable.
5. final try-on
When your shirt is ready, we meet for a final fitting to confirm that every aspect, from collar height to sleeve length, sits exactly as intended. If any minor refinements are needed, they are completed in-house to guarantee the perfect finish. What you receive is more than just a custom dress shirt; it is a tailored garment designed exclusively for you, offering confidence and refinement every time you wear it.
