Made to measure (MTM) is a method of creating custom clothing where a pre-existing pattern is modified to fit your specific body measurements. It serves as a middle ground between standard off-the-rack clothing and fully custom bespoke tailoring.

In a made-to-measure shirt, you can customize many details to suit your style, from the fabric and fit to specific elements like the collar and pockets.

Ideally, we would meet in person so I can take your measurements directly.

However, if that is not possible, measuring your favorite well-fitting shirt is an excellent alternative to ensure a precise result. (You can see ‘how to measure your favorite shirt’ on the product page)

Selecting the right fabric is 50% of the work when creating a custom shirt. There are two main factors to consider: first, the fiber content and weight of the fabric; second, the colors and prints.

For fiber, my favorites are Cotton, Linen, or a Cotton-Linen blend. These natural fibers are wonderful to work with, feel great against the skin, and are generally easy to care for.

Once you know which fiber and fabric type you are going with, consider how color and print impact the design. Your options range from versatile solid colors to a variety of scales in stripes and checks. You can also experiment with personality-driven prints, from small, delicate florals to large, bold, or abstract novelty designs. As a general rule, smaller patterns (like pinstripes or micro-checks) are more formal and slimming, while larger patterns (like bold plaids or big florals) are more casual and make a stronger style statement.

Each piece is made individually by Jisun. The entire process typically takes up to two weeks, which includes pattern adjustment, cutting, sewing, ironing, and preparing for shipping. It may take longer depending on the fabric and design additions.
