How It Works

Your shirt, from idea to finished garment

SHIRTMKR makes it simple to create a shirt around your own taste, measurements and wardrobe.

You choose the cloth and design. You choose the fitting route. We turn those decisions into a made-to-order shirt.

1. Choose your cloth

Start by browsing the cloth collection.

Each cloth includes a model image showing how it looks when made into a finished shirt. This gives you a clearer sense of the colour, pattern and overall appearance before you begin designing.

2. Design your shirt

Choose the details that make the shirt yours, including:

  • Collar

  • Collar details

  • Cuff

  • Front style

  • Pockets

  • Back style

  • Buttons

  • Contrast buttonhole stitching

  • Monogram

You can keep things simple and classic, or create something more distinctive.

3. Choose your fitting route

Select the option that best suits how you want to order.

Choose a Standard Size

Select your fit and collar size from our finished-shirt size chart.

Your shirt will normally be delivered within four weeks of the order date.

UK delivery costs:

  • £4.95 on orders below £100
