Bespoke Shirts for Men

It's very easy to buy shirts online, with a range of retailers selling shirts of many styles and budgets. But if you want something a bit special, you might want to consider a bespoke shirt. Traditionally, a bespoke shirt would mean a visit to a tailor and an expensive bill at the end of it but a new service is offering bespoke shirts online.

Green & Jack's specialise in bespoke shirts and accessories. The website is not the easiest to navigate, to put it mildly, but it does allow you to order a shirt to your exact specification.

After choosing your colour, you will need to choose your fitting style (Straight, Waisted, Loose, or Ultra Fitted) and then from a bewildering selection of collar types:

  • Classic
  • Cutaway
  • Button Down
  • Button Under
  • English Cutaway
  • Italian Cutaway
  • Stand
  • Wing
  • Casual Soft Collar
  • Victorian Swept Wing
  • Spearpoint

With the collar chose, you then need to select other options such as if you want a double button on the collar, if you want a white collar & cuff, and if you want slots for removable collar straighteners.

There are a range of cool patterns and fabrics that can be added for the reverse of the collar and cuff.

As with the collars, there's plenty of cuff styles to choose from so you get the cuff you like most:

  • Regular Straight Cuff
  • Regular Round Cuff
  • Regular Cut Cuff
  • Double Button Straight cuff
  • Double Button Round cuff
  • Double Button cut cuff
  • French Cut Cuff
  • French Round Cuff
  • French Straight Cuff
You can then customse the buttons, back, pocket and add a monogram if you like!
