Bespoke Shirts

Today the use of coat, jacket, sports jacket and blazer have become almost interchangeable. The key differences are that the suit jacket has matching trousers and possibly a waistcoat; a bespoke sports jacket usually has a patterned cloth and horn buttons; while a bespoke blazer is crafted from plain fabric with contrasting, usually metal buttons.

From suit jackets, morning coats, sports jackets to blazers, no matter what style of jacket you’re after, Harris & Howard have the expertise to deliver men’s bespoke jackets of the highest possible quality.

High street brands may look good on the shelf but are not designed to fit your exact measurements. They are mass produced, which results in poorer construction methods, enabling speed and reproduction, but minimising craftsmanship and durability. The do not fit as well, or last as long.

At Harris & Howard, we take pride in our rich history of English tailoring and traditional practices that have been proven over generations, using high-quality materials, which together with our precise measuring techniques and guidance, ensure you will be delighted with the bespoke jackets we provide.

The Details

Measured To Fit

Our clothiers take over 20 precise measurements and detailed posture notes to ensure your bespoke mens shirts are tailored precisely to you. We both advise upon and listen to your preferences in terms of shape and form for the shirt to gain the exact fit that you desire.

Each bespoke mens shirt is designed to a length and cut that flatters your body shape, allows for ease of movement and an all-round comfortable fit. If desired, we can even allow for a little extra room around the cuff to accommodate your watch.

Colour Matching

From bold hues to classic white, picking shades to suit your complexion, hair colour and your existing wardrobe will make selecting your outfit a real pleasure each day. With hundreds of shades of bespoke shirt colours available, some will naturally suit you better than others.

Our clothiers will work with you to determine which variations work best for you. They will also help you to discover the patterns and textures you enjoy so that there are a range of options for you to consider.

Cloth Selection

Selecting the cloth for your bespoke shirt can be made much simpler with the help of our expert clothiers. We have hundreds of cloth swatches to pick from, and many can look the same or similar, making it difficult to know which is the right one for you. That’s one of the many areas we can add real value, guiding and educating our clients whilst absolutely listening to their wants and desires, guiding you towards a cloth that is both functional and a delight to wear.

Once you’ve decided on your main cloth, take a step further by adding a contrasting or subtle trim to the shirt. Selecting from the many checks, stripes, floral patterns, paisleys and prints available at Harris & Howard makes for a delightful part of creating your bespoke shirt. Add a contemporary twist to your classic crisp white shirt with an elegant floral trim or, elevate your casualwear with a bold check shirt paired with a bright coloured trim on the underside of the collar and cuff. With a vast range of trim fabrics to choose from and the option to add the contrasting fabric virtually anywhere on your shirt, the creativity you can have with your main cloth and trim is endless and a great way to make your shirt truly personal to you.
