ENJOY A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE WHERE YOU ARE THE CENTER OF ATTENTION.
Create your ideal shirt
Whether for the office, a formal event, or a casual look, we guarantee a piece that blends comfort, precision, and elegance.
With a library of over 4,000 fine fiber references, you will find the ideal fabric for every occasion.
With 28 years of shirt-making expertise, we invite you to live this experience and share our passion.
STEP 1
CHOOSING THE FABRIC
We have selected the finest cottons in the world for you.
Sourced from the most prestigious European and English weavers such as Thomas Mason, Albini, Canclini, Alumo... from the softness of a poplin to the textured hand of an Oxford, including the coloring of a denim.
Each fabric is chosen for its precise thread count and weight, guaranteeing an impeccable drape and exceptional fineness.
We will guide you through all the fabric families to select the one that suits you best together.
STEP 2
CHOOSING THE COLLAR
Did you know that the collar is one of the most important elements of your shirt?
The length of the points, the height of the collar band, or the spread angle are all parameters to take into account to ensure perfect harmony between your face and your shoulders.
This balance is essential for your comfort, which is why we offer a selection of over 160 collar styles.
From the traditional French or spread collar to more distinctive styles like the Tulip or the Amalfi. Our collection covers every style to ensure we meet your desires.
In terms of construction, we offer 5 levels of interlining, allowing you to adapt the structure of your collar to its intended use. It is therefore possible to have a very stiff collar for a formal shirt or, conversely, a very soft one for a casual shirt. Collar stays can be removable or integrated.
STEP 3
CHOOSING THE WRIST
Just as important as the collar, the choice of cuff is essential.
We offer a selection of over 50 cuff styles.
All styles are represented: rounded, beveled, straight, 1, 2, or 3 buttons, simple, Neapolitan, French, or convertible cuffs.
Together, we will find the cuff that suits you best.
And since every person is unique, we will adjust the size of the cuff to your watch for greater comfort.
STEP 4
THE CUT
The fit must meet your daily needs and your preferences.
Your consultant will listen to you and work with you to define the settings that best suit your usage and your body shape.
The measurement process takes place in two stages:
1) In-depth measurement consisting of about twenty dimensions taken with a measuring tape.
2) Fitting of a trial garment, a true "provisional" shirt allowing you to experience a real-life situation, to visualize the result, to move, to see the lengths, the armhole, the fit and to discuss your expectations more easily with your consultant.
Combining "body measurements" and "fitting a trial garment" is, for us, the best way to understand you and create a piece in which you will feel comfortable and which will give you full satisfaction.
STEP 5
BUTTONS AND EMBROIDERY
The devil is in the details...
How about choosing your buttons from a selection of the finest materials in the world?
Australian mother-of-pearl, Tahitian pearl, seashell, horn, or colored, our buttons are available in various diameters and thicknesses to easily suit all your preferences.
We also offer embroidery for your initials in various typefaces, colors, and positions, allowing you to add a small, discreet touch to your shirt, whether visible or hidden.
Choosing bespoke is, above all, choosing a House and a team for an informed decision.
Our team is here to help you choose the options that will best suit you based on the occasion, the season, and, of course, your tastes.
A FEW OTHER OPTIONS FOR
CUSTOMIZATION
For seasoned enthusiasts, passionate aficionados, or the more daring, we offer additional options rooted in the art of Italian tailoring.
These are hand-performed operations that give your shirt that little extra soul and an artisanal touch, making it even more unique.
HAND-STITCHED BUTTONHOLES
Hand-stitched buttonholes embody one of the most subtle signs of true sartorial expertise. Each buttonhole is patiently opened and then embroidered stitch by stitch, with a precision that ensures both strength and elegance.
Unlike mechanical buttonholes, which are often flat and standardized, the handmade version features a slight relief, controlled tension, and irregular finishes that bear witness to the artisan's touch.
THE DROPPED ARMHOLE
The forward-set armhole consists of slightly advancing the armhole line towards the front of the torso.
This construction follows the anatomy of the shoulder more precisely and optimizes dynamic ease: the garment follows the movement of the arm without pulling on the back or distorting the line.
It thus improves both comfort, mobility, and the sharpness of the drape.
THE HAND-STITCHED COLLAR
The hand-stitched collar is attached stitch by stitch, without excessive tension, to naturally follow the curve of the neck.
This technique allows for a softer roll, better durability over time, and superior comfort.
A tailoring detail that brings precision and elegance to the fit.
HAND-STITCHED SLEEVES
The hand-stitched armhole allows for fine control of the ease and fabric distribution when setting the sleeve.
This precision adds volume to the sleeve head, creating a natural curve without stiffness or visible stitching.
The result: a clean shoulder line that is more lively and elegant, with the subtle relief characteristic of bespoke tailoring.
HAND-STITCHED SWALLOWS
Hand-sewn swallows are pentagonal reinforcements mounted at stress points (seam bottoms, side vents).
Made with tight stitching, they lock seam ends and prevent any opening under strain.
This construction distributes stress, stabilizes the assembly over time, and guarantees optimal durability without visible bulk.
TRAVETTO ON CAPUCIN LEGS
The bar tacks on the sleeve plackets are bartacks made with extremely dense stitching, designed to precisely secure areas of tension.
Positioned at the end of the sleeve placket, they reinforce the structure while adding a subtle and controlled relief.
Inherited from fine Italian tailoring, they provide a finish that is technical, durable, and decidedly refined.
