Premium Men's Blazers & Formal Wear
Formal Shirts: Collar, Cuff, Fit and Fabric
The garment you wear most often and think about least. Collar shape and structure, cuff type, body fit, and which fabrics survive humidity.
Custom Formal Shirts
Collar, cuff, fit and fabric chosen around how you actually wear a shirt.
Every garment is cut in our Mannargudi workshop from measurements recorded for you, so a second order starts from a pattern that already fits rather than from a size chart.
- Measured and fitted rather than sized
- Fabric chosen for the delta climate, not a catalogue
- Measurements kept on record for repeat orders
- One workshop, one standard of finishing
