A Fit Measured, Not Guessed
A custom shirt should look sharp without compromising on comfort. Find your preferred fit, then refine the sizing with your collar measurement and sleeve length for a shirt that looks as good as it feels.
Choose your fit
Four fits. Arrows show the difference from our Slim fit at the chest and waist.
Classic
A generous cut through the chest and waist, ideal for those who prefer a roomier feel.
Slim
CT’s regular fit, gently tapered through the waist for a smart, streamlined silhouette.
Extra Slim
A closer cut through the chest and waist, suited to slimmer builds or those who prefer a more fitted look.
Super Slim
Our slimmest fit. Cut closest to the body with a defined waist for a sleek, contemporary silhouette.
How to measure
Two measurements: your collar and your sleeve.
Collar
Measuring your collar size
Place the tape measure flush around your neck, just where the collar sits. For the most comfortable fit, leave room for two fingers between the tape and your neck.
Sleeve · Step 1 of 3
Measuring your sleeve length
Stand up straight and raise your arm slightly bent. Measure from the centre of the back of the shirt, just below the bottom edge of the collar, to the outer edge of the shoulder bone and note the measurement.
Sleeve · Step 2 of 3
Next
Now measure from the outer edge of the shoulder bone to the elbow and note this measurement as well.
Sleeve · Step 3 of 3
Finally
The final piece of the sleeve length is measured from the elbow to the wrist (or to the point where the cuff should end) and add the 3 measurements together.
1 · Back to shoulder+2 · Shoulder to elbow+3 · Elbow to wrist=Your sleeve length
Good to know: Custom shirts are made to order and delivered in 3 weeks. Because each one is made just for you, it can't be returned unless it's faulty.
For the big day
The Custom Wedding Shirt
A custom wedding shirt is one of the easiest ways to elevate the big-day look – and it’s just as useful long after the last dance.
For the groom
Choose a crisp fabric and a collar that sits perfectly with your tie (or looks sharp worn open-neck after the formalities). Consider a cuff option that works with your accessories and a fit that stays comfortable from ceremony to evening.
For groomsmen and the wider wedding party
Consistency looks best in photos. Start with a shared fabric colour and collar style, then match key details like cuffs and buttons across the group. If you want subtle individuality, vary only one element (for example, monogram placement or button colour) while keeping the overall look aligned.
For guests and repeat wear
If you’re investing in a personalised shirt, keep it versatile. A classic colour, balanced collar and everyday cuff style will pair with suits now and smart-casual outfits later.
