DRESS SHIRTS FOR SHORT MEN

HOW TO GET THE PERFECT FIT

Having trouble finding the best dress shirts for short men? This guide covers all of your best options. Formal dress codes are increasingly rare, but some guys still need to suit up for work. If you're wearing a tie, getting the collar right is crucial.

Specifically, we'll look at two parts of your dress shirts:
  • Collar: There is no visible gap between shirt and neck (a gap makes you look like you’ve borrowed your shirt from a bigger friend).

  • Sleeves: Like James Bond in Casino Royale, he's showing ~1/2″ of cuff beyond his jacket.
These seemingly insignificant details can make or break your outfit, but it's not necessarily easy to get them right…

THE CHALLENGE

Less than 10% of short men have collar sizes that are below the 14.5″ minimum that most men's dress shirt brands offer. For sleeve length, though, it's a different story.
About 30% of shorter men need a sleeve length less than the 32″ off-the-rack minimum. Ouch!
Fortunately, there are a number of options to get sleeve length that will look good with a jacket.

TRY CUSTOM DRESS SHIRTS

One thing to keep in mind: fabric makes up most of the cost of making a shirt. When you see a price from a custom shirt makers that seems too good to be true, they’re probably using really cheap fabric.
While it may fit you perfectly, a shirt made of cheap fabric won’t create the professional appearance you’re trying to project with jacket and tie.
When you compare prices for custom shirts with equivalent fabric quality to better off-the-rack brands like J. Crew or Brooks Brothers, you’ll usually end up paying ~20% more than the list price of an off-the-rack shirt.

GREEN AND BLUE CHECK BESPOKE JACKET - 1

  Tailors in Chiang Mai We were recently commissioned by a client to make a bespoke jacket for his upcoming wedding. Weddings these days come in all shapes and sizes…..from the super traditional church weddings, to the more easy-going barn style. Each reflecting the style and characters of the lucky couple. This wedding erred towards the later and came with a brief. The client didn’t want to look traditional, it just wasn’t him. He wished to wear the item again and wanted something a little different, but still with style and class. He also wanted to feel comfortable and relaxed, whilst still retaining a sharp look. With this in mind we floated the idea of a jacket and trouser combo, which would open up his choice on the top half to the slightly more detailed jacketing fabrics , which tend to be woven slightly lighter and more open. On the bottom half we would then look for texture and strength to play a supporting role and the open weave of a high-twist wool would be ju

Brand New Patch Pocket Shape

Best Shirts in Chiang Mai   Although we always favor a timeless style its important to not stand still. Whilst we aim for a look and a style that transcends time we also consistently look for improvements. Its in our nature. With this in mind we felt it was time to give our patch pockets a bit of a reworking. The previous shape was very much an older English style with a pretty square pocket with rounded edges. This has been updated to a more rounded shape, curving in towards the mouth of the pocket. The rear of the pocket is also raised giving a slight tilt towards the front. Overall is a more modern shape and with its roots in the Neapolitan style. Whilst this may only be a slight tweak it does make a huge improvement to the overall feel of the jacket . Pair this pocket with a softer Neapolitan style shoulder and shaped foreparts and you are well on your way to a timeless yet current look.

  Custom Tailors in chiang Mai After some deliberation and skin tone checks we settled on fabric from our Premium Fabric collection . The bunch is a riot of muted and rich colors in plains and checks, all woven from either 250gram superfine wool. or 260gram super 160’s. As our existing clients will know, the first appointment with us is the longest. We always aim to get the garment as close to perfect as we can first time and our measuring is somewhat in-depth. Well this was the perfect example of what we aim for, with the garment being spot on first time. Balance was perfect, shoulders nice and clean, and with a lovely nipped in waist. Made in our soft style this really ticked all the boxes. New Moda Custom Tailors Email us at: tailormoda13@gmail.com Website: https://newmodacustomtailors.com/
