Tailored Shirts vs Off-the-Rack – Why Fit Isn’t Just About Size

Fit by Formula vs Fit by Hand

Off-the-rack shirts are made for average bodies. Problem is, no one has an average body.

That’s why they pull at the chest, billow at the waist, or choke you at the collar.

Tailored shirts at Germanicos start with 25 individual measurements – ensuring a silhouette that’s precise, flattering, and comfortable.

Germanicos - Fabrics

Fabric Choice Isn’t Just About Colour

Most store-bought shirts offer white, light blue, or maybe a stripe.

At Germanicos, you can choose from over 2,000 fabrics, including:

  • White poplin, end-on-end, and broadcloth
  • Oxford cloth shirts for everyday wear
  • Gingham, herringbone, twill and dobby weaves
  • Casual linen shirts and non-iron options

Each fabric is chosen based on performance, breathability, and the role it plays in your lifestyle.

The Custom Details That Set You Apart

Whether you’re after contrast collars, bold plackets, or custom monograms, we give you full control.

  • Choose from 10 monogram fonts in hundreds of colours
  • Select your bottom shape, darts, back fit and collar stiffness
  • Visualise it all in real time with our proprietary 3D shirt design software

Care = Longevity – A Shirt That Works Harder

You’ll wear your shirt 50+ times a year. Why wouldn’t you treat it right?

  • Always hang dry instead of tumble drying
  • Use light steam or press while damp
  • Rotate between shirts to preserve fibre strength

With reinforced stitching and a perfect fit, your tailored shirt won’t just look better – it’ll last 3 to 5 times longer.
