Discover Your Unique Tailor-Made Shirt
A perfectly fitting shirt goes beyond just the right measurements; it tells your story. At De Oost, we believe in tailoring that not only fits your body but also reflects your personal style and the way you move in daily life. Whether you choose a classic white shirt or a bold pattern, every detail is carefully considered and handcrafted.
Our bespoke shirts are made from the finest fabrics, with attention paid to texture, color, and wearability. From subtle accents like the shape of the collar to the stitching on the cuffs — every element can be fully personalized to your preferences.
At De Oost, we create shirts that are as unique as the men who wear them. Experience the luxury of a shirt designed specifically for you, made with craftsmanship and attention to detail.
Men’s bespoke shirts: the fit is the most important
Every bespoke shirt we tailor is 100% unique. This means your measurements will be taken with a measuring tape by our experienced experts.
Our clients vary from small to large gentlemen in any size and imaginable body type.
The fit is very personal and the correct measurements resolve many issues you might find with off the rack shirts such as the right sleeve length, how the waist is shaped, the height of the collar and the fit around the chest.
For every gentleman and bespoke shirt we make a new personal pattern drafted in the classic artisanal way which we archive for future reference.
This way you have a template based on your measurements and designs making sure you will always have the best possible fit with your bespoke shirt.
Shirt models and styles
After taking the measurements, the next step is designing the model for your bespoke shirt. This can be a classic, but a more contemporary shirt with special Sprezzatura style elements is something we often see with our clients.
You can think of details such as custom collars, cuffs, buttons and embroidery for your bespoke shirt and specialized Italian crafts like the Spalla Camicia shoulder construction.
Shirt Collars
Collars are the first thing you will notice about a bespoke shirt and thus an important eyecatcher regarding impressions and style.
The collar has influence on associations and on the way your face is perceived. It’s important to have a conscious in depth look at collars for your shirt. Here you can see examples and gain inspiration regarding the possibilities in different collars for your bespoke shirt.
Shirt Cuffs
The cuff of your bespoke shirt together with the collar are the things people will notice first and thus an eyecatcher, and an opportunity to distinctively present one’s self. It’s an important point of attention even when wearing your shirts casually and especially when wearing a watch. There are many variants to choose from ranging from double or French cuffs worn with cufflinks to the more playful baroque variations.
Shirt Buttons
The shirt buttons fulfill a practical role to close the shirt, but they are also decorative. By simply changing the colour of your buttons you can give a whole new appearance and dimension to a bespoke shirt, ranging from playful to chique.
We offer a variety of colours, shapes and various materials such as ecological resin, horn, mother of pearl and even gold and silver. And for the real connoisseur we can also have a look at the colour of your buttonholes and the stitching used to fasten the buttons.
Shirt Fabrics, Patterns and Weaves
Our clients preference regarding patterns and colours varies greatly. Ranging from patterns and weaves such as checks, stripes, oxford, broadcloth, poplin, twill, jersey, herringbone, end-on-end, silk and pinpoint fabrics.
Our advice is to start with a white shirt, and later expand with a blue or pink shirt and experiment with different colours, designs, weaves and patterns.
Colours evoke emotions thus the choice of colour is very dependent on the person and the occasion at which the shirt will be worn.
Popular colours for bespoke shirts are: cognac, creme, navy, ecru, fuchsia, (olive) green, orange, purple, red, turquoise, black, and of course, white, blue and pink.
By understanding the differences between the characteristics of weaves, what they do for you and how they look, you can be certain you will find the ideal fabric for your shirt.
We tailor bespoke shirts from every imaginable fabric such as (Egyptian) cotton, flannel, silk, bamboo, denim, wool, celluloid and linen with and without stretch.
A good fabric together with the fit, model and the construction is one of the 4 pillars on which a good bespoke shirt is built on.
That’s why we work with a variety of fabric materials and mills so that we can cater to every wish regarding material, colour, pattern and design in order to make the best possible bespoke shirt for you.
We literally offer thousands of variations and would love to help you make the correct decision. You can see and feel all the fabrics in our atelier.
