The Complete Guide to Custom Dress Shirts
Quick answer: A custom dress shirt is made to your measurements, so the collar, sleeves, and body fit properly with no billowing or pulling. You choose the collar style, cuff, fabric, and details. For most people, a made-to-measure shirt fits far better than off-the-rack. Custom dress shirts at Zane start at $169.

A shirt is the layer closest to you, so fit is everything. Here is what goes into a great custom dress shirt.

Fit

Off-the-rack shirts come in a few neck and sleeve sizes, so the body is often too full or too tight. A custom shirt is cut to your measurements: the collar sits right, the sleeves end at the wrist, and the body is trim without pulling.

Collar styles

The collar frames your face and sets the tone. A spread collar suits most face shapes and works with or without a tie, a point collar is classic and elongating, and a button-down is more casual. We help you choose what flatters you.

Cuffs and details

Choose barrel cuffs for everyday or French cuffs for formal events with cuff links. Add a monogram, a contrast lining, or a specific placket to make it yours.

Fabric

Breathable cottons keep you cool in Florida, while finer weaves add a dressier finish. We guide you to a fabric that fits the occasion and the climate.
