HOW TO GET A PERFECT MADE-TO-MEASURE SHIRT

TailorGeorge offers simple and effective ways to get shirts perfectly tailored to your measurements. Our pattern-making system, based on your dimensions, has been tried and tested for over 20 years. TailorGeorge was one of the first online made-to-measure shirt services.

Our statistics show that the first shirt is highly satisfactory in more than 90% of cases. Our free alterations guarantee gives you 100% confidence that you will get a perfectly fitted shirt.

There are several ways to get a perfect shirt with TailorGeorge. Whichever method you use, you will achieve the same perfect result.

The simplest option: a Smart Fit made-to-measure fit

Our Smart Fit tool lets you create your own made-to-measure fit in just a few clicks, without having to measure yourself or an existing shirt.

Using your age, weight, height and body shape, we create a fit with 10 personalised measurements. Collar, shirt chest circumference, waist shaping, sleeve length and shirt length: everything is adjusted to your body.

What you need to get started:

  1. Your precise weight and height
  2. Being able to assess your body shape is helpful, but not essential

Already have a shirt that fits perfectly? Measure that shirt

If you have a shirt in your wardrobe that fits perfectly (or almost), take a flexible measuring tape and measure it following our instructions.

Taking the measurements takes around 10 to 15 minutes. The shirt should be ironed and laid flat.

You can also take this opportunity to adjust certain measurements.

What you need to get started:

  1. A made-to-measure shirt or a ready-to-wear shirt that fits you well
  2. A measuring tape

What you need to get started:

  1. Someone willing to take your measurements
  2. A measuring tape

Prefer to choose a standard size?

Tailorgeorge also offers more traditional standard sizes. Our system lets you choose from 15 shirt sizes, 5 sleeve lengths, 5 shirt lengths and 3 fits, and adjust the waist shaping and collar to the nearest centimetre… giving you hundreds of adjustment possibilities for your shirt.

You are sure to find adjustments that suit you perfectly.

Your standard size:

You can select your usual shirt size: M, M+, L, L+, etc. Choose the size you normally wear in ready-to-wear clothing.

The fit:

Choose a straight or fitted cut. The fitted cut has more pronounced shaping at the waist.

The collar

You can adjust your shirt collar size. For example, if size L usually has a 42 cm collar, you can increase or decrease it to obtain the most comfortable measurement.

The sleeves

Choose from 5 sleeve lengths to ensure your sleeves are perfectly suited to the length of your arms.

Shirt length

Choose from 5 shirt lengths to suit your height or how you wear your shirt.

How can you use our standard sizing system to get a perfectly fitted shirt?

If you are unsure which part to adjust, simply start with standard dimensions (your usual ready-to-wear size), without adjusting the collar or sleeves. Then gradually change your measurements on subsequent orders, or use our free alterations guarantee to refine the dimensions from your very first shirt and find your perfect fit.
