Ansen asked:
I’m starting a new job soon and I need more business type clothing for it. Can you recommend a place to get tailored shirts online?
You’ve come to the right place, Ansen. There are a few quality online shops you can visit to get a big and tall tailored shirt. Check out the list below:
Indochino Tailored Shirts: We talk about Indochino regularly here because they create quality clothing in your size and to your exact specifications. It’s hard to find really stylish clothing in extended sizes, but these guys get it right. You can choose from more than 40 shirt styles running the spectrum of solids, stripes, plaids & checks, and patterns.
Indochino’s guarantee ensures that you get a shirt that fits you perfectly. If you receive your shirt and it’s not just right, they’ll give you a credit of up to $75 to put towards local tailoring. Should your shirt need help beyond your local tailor’s expertise, you can talk to Indochino and they’ll help you make it right.
If you need tailored clothing that keeps up with the latest styles while actually fitting your body, Indochino should be your first stop. $79 – $109
J.Hilburn Custom Tailored Shirts: While J.Hilburn doesn’t exclusively focus on custom tailoring, they do have a solid made to order section on their website. There’s one catch; in order to get a custom tailored shirt, you’ll first have to meet with one of their style advisors in order to get the perfect fit. If you’re in a hurry and you already know what you want, this could be annoying. On the other hand, you get a style advisor who can help you create a shirt that fits you and looks great the first time around. With more than 1000 style advisors working for J.Hilburn, chances are there’s one near you. Regardless, you can still use their congfigurator tool to create and save a shirt design or share with your friends. $79 – $159
ShirtsMyWay.com Tailored Shirts: Shirts My Way claims to offer over 7 trillion unique dress shirt designs, so you’ll never run out of interesting combinations if you shop this site. They use premium fabrics (as well as some limited edition fabrics) to make the shirts they offer in order to give you a higher quality look. Once you choose a shirt or fabric, you simply follow the directions in their system in order to create the type of shirt you’re looking for.
Once your shirt is completed, it goes through quality control to ensure it meets your expectations and the company’s standards. Prices range from $75 for a classic plain weave, to $175 for a more detailed twill or herringbone dress shirt.
