Mens Designer Shirts

How hard is it to make mens dress shirts?

My wife has just bought a really good sewing machine, she would like to make roman blinds, curtains, venetian blinds etc… but she would also like to have a go at making shirts with double cuffs?

How hard would this be? Where can she get the patterns from? Where can she get the material from? Also,where can we find patterns for curtains and blinds?

Thanks.

Not sure about the dress shirt

Editors Comment: For how to make mens dress shirts, most good fabric stores stock patterns. Do a Google search or a search in the yellow pages for your local area under fabric stores.

If your wife has good basic sewing skills and can find a good pattern it should not be too difficult to make shirts. Threadbanger show some good instructional videos on making various different items. Keep checking as we will be adding videos to this site.

Why are most mens dress shirts either large or extra large?

I’ve been going to the Goodwill and other thrift stores looking to get some dress shirts. Doesn’t really matter about the style, color as long as it fits and looks good. (My favorites are old Wrangler or Levis jean, cowboy, striped or plaid.) But at least 95% of the shirts they have are large or extra large.

It’s so hard to find a medium and I would like to know why. Is it just a bunch of old, fat businessmen wearing these things? I went through about 700 shirts today and found approx. seven mediums. It sucks being my size. Err. And good luck if you’re a small ’cause there’s no hope. Found maybe two in that size.

Mens dress shirts are large or extra large because most Americans are bigger.

Where can I get mens dress shirts like Randy Jackson from American Idol?

I need shirts that have the loud print like the paisley one he wore Tuesday night. But not cheesy either. Do you know a good website??

Go to portabella.com I don’t know if they have a website, but I shop there for my man on Father’s Day.

I need your help. While on holiday in Asia, a tailor approached me on Orchard Street in Singapore. He persuaded me to let him take my measurements should I ever decide that a custom suit was for me. Although skeptical, I let him measure me.

For S$150 (which is something like US$125), he makes and ships to me custom suits. He has the pattern books for some of the high-end designers. I tried out his services on some low cost mens dress shirts and I was very pleased. Now I’m going to order a custom suit, but I’m not sure of what fabrics to order.

Any ideas on what I should say?

1) Textures and stripes? What kind of textures?

2) What kind of material? I hear polyester will make it look cheap. I want it to look very high quality.

Please advise!

I love Italian wool, it is very soft, light, smooth and of the highest quality. dark colors with light or faint pin stripes, thin pin stripes with about one inch between them, offer a slender and taller look. I suggest going to a men’s fine clothier, such as Brook’s Brothers and check out the fabrics and styles. Oh two button jackets only, four buttons are out of style and three buttons are fading fast

Brooks Bros offers three sizing options for their mens dress shirts: traditional, slim, and luxury. I’m a pretty skinny dude, so I don’t want any more “traditional” sized shirts because they look too baggy on me. But I was wondering if the slim fit was too tight looking? I’m only asking because I don’t have the time to go try them on and screw around. If it helps at all, I wear the “custom fit” polo shirts. So if someone who wears those also wear the slim fit dress shirts, that would answer my question.

Thanks.

Luxury is your best bet I’m a girl so I buy the women’s shirts and have found that lux fits better than traditional and is not as tight as slim slim may look too gay.
