Tailors of custom made shirts (among other garments) are a mixed crowd, but there are a few things that most of them don’t tell you.

1. Your Custom Made Dress Shirt is like a white canvas.

Either because tailors don’t realize it or they want to avoid adding complexity to their production process, the truth is that you can pretty much change anything on the dress shirt and create a design that is truly your own. That could involve placing fabric on different parts of the dress shirts such as the pocket or placket; increasing the height of the collar, or adding a split yoke.

Many people don’t realize it, but custom men’s dress shirts allow a huge opportunity to be a bit creative and still keep it simple and stylish.

2. Shirt Buttons can often be upgraded for free

Not many tailors tell you that you can actually get those shell or mother of pearl buttons as part of your custom dress shirt if you ask nicely. The truth is a high end tailor would often give you this just to make you more satisfied with his dress shirt.

3. You can bargain with me

As with any other business, bargaining is usually always a possibility it’s just not flaunted. If you give the tailor a good reason for giving you a discount more times than not they would give you one. For example you could say that you are looking for a new tailor or it is your first getting a custom dress shirt made and a bit unsure about the result.
