Measuring for a custom shirt is an involved process, including a multitude of measurements and much more time. If you decide that you want custom shirts, be prepared to allot more time and money than you would if you were going with an in-stock shirt. Since the process is more involved, many shirt makers require a minimum order, as the pattern from which the shirts are made is unique to you.

The advantages to custom shirting include a broad range of options: you can choose both collar type and cuff type based on your taste preferences for any fabric you should choose as well as small details like a hidden placket or fly front, monogramming, and detailed stitching.
