The Power of a Perfectly Fitted Shirt

A well-made shirt is timeless—flattering, versatile, and effortlessly sophisticated. But most shirts, whether off-the-rack or based on standard sewing patterns, rarely fit well. They're designed for generic sizing, resulting in issues like tight collars, awkward sleeve lengths, pulling, gaping, and excess fabric in all the wrong places.

It started with a simple frustration: beautiful shirts that actually fit were impossible to find. So I began making them—starting with friends, using exceptional fabrics and precise tailoring to create something better. Today, I work with clients to craft custom shirts from materials carefully curated from around the world. Each piece is made to measure and deeply personalized, with fabrics and prints selected to reflect the client's unique coloring, personality, and sense of style.

Custom, in every sense.

Made just for you—from the fit to the fabric. Each shirt is shaped around your style, with carefully chosen materials that feel as good as they look.

About Me

Tailoring that begins with listening.

I began making shirts to solve a personal frustration—and discovered a shared one. Since then, I've helped clients find clothing that not only fits, but feels like an extension of who they are. Each piece is a collaboration, grounded in precision and curiosity.

The Process

Built around you—from the first measurement to the final stitch.

Every shirt begins with a conversation. I take your measurements in person, guide you through a carefully curated selection of fabrics, and help you choose the palette, print, and design that best reflects you. The result: a shirt made to fit your shape, your life, and no one else's.

Materials

Exceptional fabrics, chosen for more than just feel.

Each shirt is cut from carefully sourced fabrics—woven in small mills, handpicked for character, movement, and depth. Whether it's crisp poplin or fluid voile, the materials are selected to complement your tone, your style, and the way you want to show up.

What Clients Are Saying

"I've never worn something that felt more like mine."

Clients often say the same thing: it's not just the fit, it's the feeling. Working with me is like collaborating with a designer who sees who you are—and translates that into something tangible, wearable, and enduring.
