Features of the best custom tailored bespoke shirts in the world

Custom shirt tailoring is now becoming very popular in Ireland and the UK, where quality clothing is important, and the internet makes made-to-measure custom tailored shirts available to everyone.

Jazzano.com is now the premier supplier of custom tailor made shirts in Europe, with offices in Hong Kong, Bangkok, Rome, London and Paris.

Our bespoke shirts are made to your exact requirements, and all custom tailored shirts, and tailor-made suits are shipped direct to your door in days.

Our main priority is quality, so our fabrics are quality-controlled to ensure that they are the best fabrics available for shirts - our egyptian cottons eliminate the risk of skin irritation cause by cheap 2x1 and 1x1 single-ply off-the-rack fabrics.

The main advantage of a bespoke shirt is that it will matcht the wearer perfectly; the shirt or custom suit has been made exactly to the measurements of the wearer.

These are the characteristics that a shirt is fitted well are:

- A bespoke mens dress shirt should not be tight or seem t fit baggily across the shoulders, chest, stomach, or any other part of the torso.

The fit of the shirt should be in unison with the contours of the body, and not be too close or restrictive in terms of the fit. The amount of fabric is about 6 inches on the chest body measurement, and approximately 5 inches on the stomach measurement, and another 6 inches in the seat area measurement - these vary according to the person's preferences and the shirt wearer's build.

- The sleeves of the shirt need to be long enough that the cuffs do not shift up the arm if the arms are raised above the head.

Also they should not be overly long, which would be the case if the arms are let hang by the side of the body, and there is an excess of fabric on the sleeves close to the cuffs. Our master tailors in Bangkok are among the best in the world, having made thousands of custom tailor made shirts with 100% customer satisfaction, so you can trust Jazzano.com to produce your order exactly to your requirements.

- The shirt collar needs to leave enough space to be able to insert your thumb with ease between the collar and the neck when buttoned up, and it should not feel overly tight or hang untowardly loose around the neck. Again the art of custo tailored clothes is a skill learnt over many years, and our tailors who have trained in the leading fashion centres of the world, guarantee unparalleled quality.

- The shirt's length should be long enough to ensure tht the tails of the shirthang just underneath the seat when standing.

This ensures that your shirt won't become untucked when in use.

- The bespoke men's shirt's cuffs should ensure that when buttoned, the cuff will not slip over the hand buttoned. When donning the shirt, it should be required to undo the cuffs - otherwise you know that the cuffs are too tight.

Some other pointers when buying a men's dress shirt, that our tailors in Hong Kong know instinctively:

- The fabric choice: a bespoke men's shirt should be made from a fine fabric, such as the superfine 100% egyptian cotton available at Jazzano.com

100% pure superfine Cotton ensures the greatest comfort for the wearer and is breathable unlike any other fabric. If you order from department stores or local stores, you will generally be purchasing a 1x1 single-ply fabric that is harsh on the skin and doesn't ensure comfort for the wearer.

While man-made fabrics ensure some positive characteristics such as easy-care, which is afforded by poly-cotton, they cannot offer the same skin-friendly, hypoallergenic properties as 100% pure cotton or of Irish Linen, which continues to make a massive come-back on custom tailored clothes - due to its unparalleled comfort and performance characteristics.

Our tailors have worked and trained in the main fashion centes of Europe, many having been apprenticed to the best tailors in Savile Row and Jermyn Street in London - the two streets renowned throughout the UK as being the heart-centre of custom tailored shirts and bespoke suits.

When looking at the characteristics of the fabric, yarn count is an important element. The yarn count of the fabric should generally be as high as one can afford- the higher the count, the thinner/finer the threads that compose the fabric, and hence the finer and more uniformly and tightly woven the finished garment.

The weaving style is another element that is of interest. The classic fabric weave is called broadcloth or poplin. There was a difference historically between these two terms, but for all intents and purposes, these terms are essentially synonymous today.

Twill is a heavier diagonal weave, which often has a beautiful sheen, and is one of the fabric weaving patterns that is most resistant to wrinkling.

Fils-a-fils is a tiny check pattern, that appears to be solid colour at an arm's length, but on close inspection reveals itself to be composed of two different coloured threads in the warp and weft.

Oxford is one of the heaviest weaves, using the 2-over, 1-under pattern, and is great in cooler climates, as it traps a lot of air, and thereby ensures good insulation against the elements. It's eponymous name, gives a clue to it's birthplace, and it continues to find favour on the campuses of many famous universities.

- In a custom shirt, the collar should really be hand made, and should either be unfused or fused.The fused collar gives a smooth look that doesn't pucker and should employ cotton interfacing materials. Collars can also have removable stays, to ensure that the shape of the collar remains perfect, when they are inserted.

- The Stitching - All stitching in the shirt needs to be single-needle stitching. This technique is far more labourious than the mainstream commercial techniques, but ensures that the strong seams remain significantly more resistant to puckering.

-Pattern matching - When one uses striped or patterned fabrics, it is important that pattern matching should occur wherever possible.

- Sleeve plackets - The area where the sleeve meets the cuff. The traditional placket should normally be employed. The very highest quality shirts do not offer placket buttons as these are entirely unneccessary in a constructed formed placket.

-Split yoke - To guarantee a perfect fit across onesshoulders, a split (4 piece) yoke needs to be used.

- Buttons - These need to be cross-stitched onto ones shirt by hand to guarantee that they do not work their way loose over time.

- The tails of a custom tailored shirt: The tails of the shirt need to be rounded and reinforced by a gusset.
