Do me a quick favor. Go to your closet, pull out your third favorite dress shirt, and try it on. Yes, your third favorite – because (like me) you are probably emotionally attached to the first two. And I dare not disparage your go-to shirts for first dates.
So, looking at this third shirt, is there anything you wish you could change about it? Maybe the sleeves are a little bit too long and bunchy at the cuff? Maybe the cuffs themselves are a little too loose and slide down over your hands? Do you have a chest pocket that looks oversized or out of place? Maybe the fabric wrinkles easy or the collars don’t stay up.
Whatever it is, I found a solution to all of these problems. And that solution is custom-made by Suit Supply. If you have read my post on Suit Supply, you already know I am a HUGE fan of their formal-wear. If you have the money to spend, they can make an short king into instant royalty.
Suit Supply’s dress shirts are a panacea to our fashion woes. These elegant and timeless shirts fit spectacularly.
Why Custom Fit Matters
For shorter men, perfect fitting dress shirts make a huge difference. A man who dresses with confidence will, in-turn, give himself confidence. These shirts are designed to meet individual measurements, allowing you to achieve a fit that flatters your frame perfectly. The customization process allows you to select everything from the collar style to the fabric, ensuring that every detail aligns with your personal style.
Fabric Choices That Impress
Suit Supply offers a variety of high-quality fabrics, making it easy to find something that suits your taste. Here are a few standout options:
- Cotton Poplin: Lightweight and breathable, perfect for everyday wear.
- Linen Blend: Ideal for warmer weather or casual outings, providing a relaxed yet polished look.
- Twilled Cotton: Offers a slightly heavier feel, perfect for more formal occasions.
Each fabric is not only stylish but also designed to stand the test of time, ensuring you get your money’s worth.
Customizations for the Perfect Touch
One of my favorite features of Suit Supply’s custom dress shirts is the ability to personalize every detail. Here are some of the customizations that truly elevate the experience:
- Spread Collar: I love the way a spread collar adds a modern touch while still looking timeless.
- Durable Buttons: The attention to detail with durable buttons ensures longevity and style.
- Monogram Options: Adding a monogram gives a personal touch, making the shirt uniquely yours.
Recently, Suit Supply introduced no-tuck shirts—perfect for date nights or vacations—while their classic tuck-in option is ideal for work or formal occasions. The versatility means you can find the right shirt for any situation.
Quality Features
What sets these shirts apart are the thoughtful details. The sewn-in collar stays provide a crisp look without the worry of them coming loose, and the no-wrinkle fabrics ensure you always look sharp, whether you’re heading into a meeting or out for a night on the town.
Pricing That Competes
When it comes to pricing, Suit Supply’s custom dress shirts range from approximately $100 to $180, depending on the fabric and customizations you choose. In comparison, Nordstrom’s off-the-rack dress shirts can often range from $70 to over $150 for similar quality, but the fit and customization options simply can’t match what Suit Supply offers. For those of us who struggle to find the right fit off the rack, investing in a custom shirt is worth every penny.
Button-It-up
Suit Supply’s custom dress shirts are a game changer for shorter men looking for that perfect fit. With a wide range of fabrics, personalized customizations, and thoughtful features, these shirts provide an excellent alternative to standard options.

I love simple solids or thin stripes that elongate torso
