On our first meeting, after getting acquainted with your wishes and personal style, we study your figuration and take your measurements.
We then proceed to render this 3-dimensional data onto a 2-dimensional model on cardboard by means of innovative, computer-aided methods and traditional tailoring techniques. Once your preliminary pattern is completed, we cut and prepare a trial shirt from a fabric specially selected for this purpose.
Now it is time to perform your first fitting. We take this opportunity to verify the fit and aplomb on your anatomy based on concepts such as front-to-rear balance and local allowances. Meanwhile, and importantly, we listen to your feedback. At this point, we apply any necessary modifications on the trial shirt for subsequent transferral to the pattern. Afterwards, your first shirt is cut and sewn according to your specifications.
You are now invited to try on your first shirt—in person or by taking delivery of the shirt and arranging a video call with us. Provided the shirt suits you to perfection, we make and deliver the rest of the order and your personal pattern is filed for future orders. If, on the other hand, we determine there’s any room for improvement, we make the required modifications on both the pattern and the shirt. Certainly, we are delighted to update your personal pattern if, after a given period of time, any variations of your figure take place. This process can be iterated as many times as necessary.
First orders shall comprise a minimum of four (4) shirts. On subsequent orders, no minimum quantity is required.
We select the highest quality fabrics and interlinings from the best Italian and Swiss weavers. Prior to the making, we sponge and treat our fabrics and interlinings to prevent undue shrinkage. To preserve the beauty of your commissions for as many seasons as possible, we strongly recommend our shirt refurbishing service, as cuffs and collars, even if taken good care of, will show the first signs of age.
We have the ability and pleasure to make shirts based upon samples, photographs, or drawings you may provide. Notwithstanding, we obtain our maximum satisfaction from the creation of originals, which shall always respect the standards of elegant dress, but never ignore your individuality and unmistakable style.
Shirtmaking of the highest quality requires time and dedication. We ask you to please be patient during the busiest seasons, as we cannot produce more than 25 shirts per week.
