A bespoke shirt is more than just a piece of clothing—it’s a statement of individuality, craftsmanship, and precision. At Galaxy Tailor, we believe your shirt should reflect your personality and fit you perfectly, down to the last stitch. Whether you’re dressing for the boardroom or a Bangkok rooftop soirée, here’s everything you need to know about investing in a truly custom shirt.

What Is a Bespoke Shirt?

A bespoke shirt is tailored entirely to your body and preferences—from the fabric and collar style to cuff shape, buttons, and stitching. Unlike ready-to-wear or even made-to-measure, bespoke offers total customization and is hand‑crafted by experienced tailors after multiple fittings.

Step 1: Choosing the Right Fabric

Fabric forms the foundation of any shirt. At Galaxy Tailor, we offer a curated selection of premium cottons, Egyptian blends, linens, and wrinkle-resistant weaves from around the world. The right fabric affects not only comfort and breathability but also how the shirt holds its structure over time.

Step 2: Precision Measurements

Our bespoke process starts with over 20 specific body measurements—including neck circumference, shoulder slope, and sleeve length—to ensure your shirt fits with exact precision. We also account for posture, muscle build, and your typical movement style.

Step 3: Custom Style & Details

With bespoke, you choose every element:

  • Collar (spread, cutaway, mandarin)
  • Cuffs (single-button, French, angled)
  • Buttons (mother-of-pearl, hidden placket)
  • Stitching color
  • Monogramming (optional)

You’ll also consult with our stylists to align your shirt design with your lifestyle—business, casual, or formal.

Step 4: Fittings and Final Adjustments

After the first fitting, our master tailor assesses how the shirt drapes across your body. Any needed alterations are carefully handled to ensure the shirt feels like a second skin. Each shirt is unique and built around your posture and preferences—not a standard template.


Why a Bespoke Shirt Is Worth It

  • Perfect Fit: No bunching, gaping, or restriction
  • Longevity: Higher-quality materials and construction mean your shirt lasts longer
  • Confidence: You look and feel better when what you wear is made just for you
  • Sustainability: Reduced waste compared to mass-produced garments

For a full ensemble, consider pairing your bespoke shirt with a tailored suit for a cohesive look.
