  1. Check the fabric content of your custom dress shirts. Finer dress shirts are made of two-ply, which make the fabrics stronger, softer and wrinkle less.
  2. When looking at the seam along the side of the dress shirt see if it is smooth and doesn’t pucker. High-quality custom mens dress shirts have only one line of stitching visible on the side seam, while most commercial shirts have two visible rows of stitches.
  3. Have a look at the sleeve a few inches above the cuff to find a button closing the sleeve. A gauntlet button and a horizontally placed buttonhole also usually indicate good craftsmanship.
  4. In Custom striped shirts, check how stripes are aligned. They should match making a straight line.
  5. The collar of a great fitting custom shirt should be firm and crisp. It should not be limp and under no circumstances it should have any wrinkles or bubbles (puckering)
  6. The design of the fabric should match where any two pieces of fabrics meet. For example where sleeves meet the shoulder.
  7. A well made custom shirt should have removable stays or built in stays for a crisper and firm look.
  8. The collar of a fine custom dress shirt should be constructed in two pieces and hand turned.
  9. The buttons of a high quality custom shirt should be sewn with a cross locked stitch to ensure your buttons stay firmly attached.

Tip:

It takes up to 9 washings for a custom dress shirt to fully shrink. For this reason, make sure the collar of a brand new shirt has a half inch extra room or it will become too tight.
