It can be difficult to find a shirt that fits perfectly. With men’s shirts being sold by neck and arm measurements, you don’t have a lot of choices as far as fit.

And it’s hard to look professional in an ill-fitting shirt. Fortunately, there is another option. You can have a custom tailored shirt made from Alan David NYC. At Alan David, you will have several measurements taken, and your shirt will be custom-made to your specifications. If you need your shirt to be a little longer so it stays tucked in, that’s not a problem. Likewise, if you like your sleeves a little shorter, or want a taper on your shirt, that […]

Part of what sets Alan David NYC apart from other custom tailors is that at Alan David, they still use a basted fitting to ensure that you get the best possible fit for your custom-made suit or shirt. A basted fitting occurs after all of the pieces of a suit have been sewn together loosely by hand. This allows you to try it on, and small adjustments can be made for a truly custom fit. Whether your suit needs to be taken in or let out at the shoulders or pants, or if you just want to change the lapels, it can be taken care of during the basted fitting. Once your suit fits perfectly, the whole thing will be sewn together by expert tailors in Alan David NYC’s own New York workshop. All Alan David custom garments have been made locally in New York and are fitted to your […]

Custom tailored clothing from Alan David NYC is a wise investment in your work wardrobe. When going through the trouble of getting measured and ordering custom-made shirts for women or men, how do you care for them to make sure that they give you years of wear?

Though it has been properly prepared before making your custom garment, cotton will shrink over time if it is washed in soap and water. Have you ever had a favorite pair of jeans that seems to get shorter over the years? That’s what happened to them – they shrank from repeated washings. So to properly care for your custom tailored shirts and ensure that they will still look great year after year, be sure to dry clean them only. You will want to make sure […]
