The Garments

Custom Dress Shirts

The layer against your skin all day, and the one most men have never had cut to them. Your collar, your cuff, your body, reordered in days once the pattern exists.

★ 4.7 · 150+ Google reviews · First fitting free & no-obligation

A collar that sits without gaping, a cuff that shows the right quarter-inch past your jacket, a body cut to you rather than to a neck-size-and-a-guess. A custom dress shirt is the quiet upgrade a man notices every single morning.

Choose the collar (spread, point, cutaway, button-down), the cuff (barrel or French), the placket, the pocket or none, and a monogram if you like. Sam makes custom dress shirts at the Vaughan studio and brings the fitting to Toronto clients by appointment; the first takes a few weeks, and every one after is a phone call, because your pattern is kept.

Common questions

Good to know.

Straight answers
Where can I get custom dress shirts in Toronto or Vaughan?

I make custom dress shirts to measure at the Vaughan studio and travel to Toronto clients by appointment. Your collar, cuff and body are cut to you, and your pattern is kept so reorders take a phone call.

Is a custom dress shirt worth it over off-the-rack?

If a store collar gapes, the body billows or the cuff swallows your watch, then yes. A shirt cut to your neck, shoulders and arm length is an upgrade you notice every morning, and it's reorderable once the pattern exists.

How many custom shirts should I start with?

Most men start with two or three in white and blue to prove the pattern, then reorder in stripes and weekend cloths. There's no minimum with me. Begin with one if you like.

What collar and cuff should I choose?

Spread or point for a tie, button-down for softer days, cutaway if you like a wide knot; barrel cuff for everyday, French for links. I'll steer you by your neck, your face and how you actually dress.
