The Bespoke Shirt: Precision & Speed
The shirt is the foundation of your wardrobe—the garment closest to your skin. It dictates your comfort and anchors your silhouette. At VJ’s Bespoke, we combine old-world tailoring with modern efficiency to deliver a shirt that fits flawlessly, without the traditional wait.
1. The In-House Advantage: Ready As Soon As Possible
We understand that modern life moves fast. Unlike many tailors who outsource production to mass factories, we maintain a dedicated shirt workshop inside our store.
- Speed: Because we don’t ship your fabric away to be sewn, we can measure, cut, and construct your custom shirt in as little as 2 days.
- Precision: Production happens on-site. Our cutters have immediate access to your specific measurements and posture notes, ensuring nothing is lost in translation.
- Perfected Fit: Final fittings can be tweaked instantly by our in-house team before you leave.
2. Master Crafted Construction
A shirt is only as good as its construction. Our “Master Crafted” standard ensures that every shirt is built to last while maintaining an elegant drape.
- Single-Needle Stitching: We use fine, high-density stitching for seams that are durable yet barely visible.
- Pattern Matching: Stripes and checks are meticulously aligned at the shoulders, placket, and gauntlets.
- Structure: Collars and cuffs are fused or interlined according to your preference.
3. Bespoke Design Elements
True luxury lies in the freedom of choice. We offer limitless stylistic variations to suit your personal taste.
- Collar Profiles: The collar frames the face and defines the formality of the shirt. Choose from a wide array of styles, including the assertive Cutaway, the versatile Spread, the casual Button-Down, or a specific height and point length of your choosing.
- Front Placket Style:
- The Placket: A visible, folded strip of fabric down the center for a classic, structured business look.
- The French Front: A seamless, clean front without a folded strip, offering a modern and minimalist European aesthetic.
- Cuff Customization:
- The Hybrid Stud Double Button: Our signature versatility option. This cuff is designed to be fastened with buttons for daily wear but is structured to accommodate cufflinks when the occasion demands.
- Fully Bespoke: From traditional French Cuffs to specific barrel shapes, we can construct any cuff style you desire.
4. The Back Pattern: Fit & Flexibility
The back of the shirt is where comfort meets silhouette. We engineer the back panel based on how you need the shirt to perform.
- For a Sharp, Fitted Look (Darts): We utilize sewn-in darts on the lower back to remove excess fabric at the waist. This creates a tapered, “V-shaped” silhouette that sits cleanly under a slim suit jacket.
- For Flexibility & Comfort (Pleats):
- Box Pleat: A central fold between the shoulder blades that allows for maximum range of motion.
- Side Pleats: Two folds at the shoulders that provide extra room across the upper back without compromising the center line.
5. Premium Fabrics
We source our cloth from the world’s most renowned mills to ensure breathability, softness, and resilience.
- The Selection: Choose from high-thread-count Egyptian cottons, resilient 2-ply twills for daily business, or airy linens for the weekend.
- The Feel: Our fabrics are selected not just for how they look, but for how they feel against the skin—luxuriously soft and capable of holding a press throughout the day.
