My Experience about Custom Shirts

by John Kenly at Citysearch

I work in a law firm and dress code in my office requires wearing proper suits or dress shirts with tie. Our dress code does not end with just wearing an ordinary dress shirt, but they insist on wearing high quality dress shirts due to the nature of our work. I specially deal in customer relationship department where I have to meet daily with dozens of corporate level customers. One day, due to low quality and ill fitted shirt, a customer reported my senior quoting my dressing as a pathetic one, which is insulting. That day I realized that simply wearing new dress shirts from a local store would not help me.

One of my close friends suggested me to visit fit custom shirts as a reliable source of high quality and best fitting dress shirts. I am kind of orthodox and do not prefer online shopping as I have heard many times that many online sellers are scams. My friend insisted me to at least visit the site, so reluctantly I just visited the fit custom shirts’ online portal. At first sight, I was mesmerized with the quality of services they were offering. For first time at fit custom shirts, I came to know about the phrase ‘custom dress shirts’. I browsed and gathered all information about custom shirts from fit custom shirts’ blog.

Without wasting my time, I decided to give fit custom shirts a try and I started designing my shirt. The website literally has hundreds of different fabric qualities and colors. I chose the best for me and proceeded with customization. Never in my life, have I seen such customization options. As I am a little bit of an athletic built, so I choose athletic fitting shirt. Then I moved to collar style and saw jaw-dropping styles, which are only worn by celebrities. I am fond of English wide spread collar so I selected it with French square cuff.

Fit custom shirts have really impressive dress shirt designing and measurement options. I designed my shirt within couple of minutes and took the risk by confirming my order. The administration of fit custom shirts confirmed the order and give estimated delivery time of 10 working days with free delivery in US. Within a week, I received the shirt and found it a superb fit on my body. Next day in my office, I felt quite confident with perfect fitting of shirt and outclass fabric quality. My senior also appreciated me about the sudden change in my dressing and since then I have ordered dozens of shirts with them and I am totally satisfied with their service. Fit custom shirts, in my opinion are the best source to buy custom shirts.

Decent

by NYReviewer at Citysearch

I had high hopes for this place. I am tall and on the slim side (6'2''/175lbs) and was hoping to find a go-to shirt maker for white shirts to wear with suits, with and without a tie. Alex was nice but seemingly pre-occupied and hurried. Fitting was fine and the shirt came back in two weeks. Few things off with the fit, firstly the pocket was about 2'' too low and the body was still not narrow enough. Put in the changes and also ordered another shirt (french cuff this time). Both shirts came back and I noticed the sleeves were big on both shirts, but probably 3'' bigger in diameter on the second shirt. I went in and a young lady fitted both shirts but when I got them back, although narrower, the second shirt sleeve was probably 2'' wider than the first.

Therefore I can't really complain about the customer service as they've done everything I've asked, but I do seriously question the level of precision these guys put into the 'bespoke fittings' given a simple shirt sleeve width can't come out consistent between two shirts. I appreciate the help they've given but its tough to come down to Soho upwards of 3 or 4 times when in reality this should get done in at MOST 2 fittings. Unsure whether I will order more shirts.

by Josh918 at Citysearch

Had a custom shirt made, Finally got them to alter it but had to fight with them the whole way.....worst customer service.....If you are used to the good folks at Zappos, don't bother with these people.

It made my grandfather want new clothes

by LilPrinceB at Citysearch

When my grandfather had to choose his fabrics he went crazy, choosing twenty. It is a family joke that he has not bough new clothes in 30 years but he loved the process. I will have gifts for his birthday, father's day and Christmas for years.

• Pros: Farbic selection
• Cons: Delivery time- but custom takes longer than off the shelf

Best Custom Shirts in NY

by nycdadomb at Citysearch

I am 6' 3", slim and long. I always had a hard time finding the right shirt. I don't even try off-the-rack shirts and I have tried few custom shirt places in the city.

In terms of fabric quality, fit and price, you cannot beat Alexander West. I received my shirt in 2 weeks and that was much faster than other more expensive places.

• Pros: Quality, Price, Service
• Cons: None
