Shirts are made to your measurements, with a collar, cuff and fit chosen around how you wear them: under a suit, open-necked with a jacket, or on their own in summer.
Choose from fine two-fold cottons, oxford, poplin, twill and linen, in plains, stripes and checks. Collars range from a soft button-down to a firm spread for a tie; cuffs from barrel to double for links.
Every order starts with a toile fitting: a shirt made in a cotton chosen for how it drapes, behaving like a well-worn shirt, so the fit is perfected before your own cloth is cut.
Bespoke shirts from £350. Made-to-measure shirts from £175.
How it works
Measures. We take a full set of measurements, look at how you stand and move.
Talk through. We talk through the shirts you already wear and what you want from these.
Details. Collar, cuff, front, pocket, pleats and buttons, chosen around how you will wear the shirt.
Cloth. Choose from fine two-fold cottons, oxford, poplin, twill and linen from the bunches at the studio.
Toile fitting. A trial shirt is made in a cotton that behaves like a well-worn shirt and fitted on you, and your pattern is adjusted.
Final toile. A second fitting confirms the changes before your own cloth is cut.
Collection or delivery. Collect your finished shirts from the King’s Road studio, or we deliver them to you.

Yes, for bespoke shirts only. Send us a shirt that fits you well, we copy the fit on a video call with you, and you choose the cloth, collar and cuff. Replica bespoke shirts are from £450.
-
Yes. The first order is a minimum of three made-to-measure shirts or five bespoke shirts, because the pattern and toile are made for you and the work is in getting that right. After the first order you can order a single shirt at a time.
-
Allow eight to ten weeks from the first measure to your finished shirts, which includes the toile fittings. Repeat orders take six to eight weeks, as your pattern is already made. If you have a date in mind, tell us at the first appointment and we will plan around it.
-
Iron the shirt while it is still slightly damp, with the iron hot and plenty of steam. Work in this order: cuffs first, inside then outside; the collar, from the points in towards the centre, inside then outside; the yoke across the shoulders; the back; the two fronts, pressing around the buttons rather than over them; and finally the sleeves, from the shoulder down towards the cuff. Hang the shirt on a hanger straight away and do up the top button so the collar keeps its shape.
-
A good dry cleaner is best, and will press the shirt properly. If you wash at home, wash at 40 degrees, remove any collar stiffeners first, and never tumble dry: hang the shirt to dry and iron it while it is still slightly damp.
