Bespoke Shirts for Men

noreply@blogger.com (Rob) — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 19:32:00 +0000

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!
