Q: How long does it take to make a tailored shirt?

Our standard turnaround time is from 5 to 8 weeks , including fittings. We also offer an express service (for an additional fee) to have your shirt ready in 2 to 4 weeks if you're on a tight schedule.

Q: What types of shirts do you make?

We make custom business shirts, dress shirts for tuxedos, black tie shirts, white business shirts, check shirts , and even guys’ linen shirts for casual wear. Whatever the purpose, we’ll design a shirt to match it perfectly.

Q: What makes a tailored shirt better than off-the-rack?

Tailored shirts are made from your unique pattern , based on 25+ measurements. They fit better, feel better, and last longer. No bagging, no pulling - just precision where it counts.

Q: Do you offer non-iron business shirts?

Yes. We offer easy-care and non-iron cotton fabrics that are wrinkle-resistant and perfect for daily wear without sacrificing comfort or breathability.

Q: Can I get a monogram on my shirt?

Q: Can I put my shirt in the dryer?

If you want longevity from your tailored shirt, avoid the dryer. Always hang dry your shirts to protect the fibres, colour and shape. This step alone can extend your shirt's life by years.

Yes. We offer tailored shirts for women , including office, formal and casual designs. Our team ensures flattering, functional cuts based on your body shape and preferences.

Q: Can I visualise the design before production?

Yes! At your fitting, you’ll use our proprietary 3D design software to see your shirt in real time - including contrast fabrics, placket, collar, monograms and button choices.

Tailored Business Shirts,
Tuxedo Shirts & Casual Shirts

A tailored shirt is more than just a layer under your suit - it’s the foundation of a sharp, confident look.

At Germanicos, we handcraft custom business shirts, fitted shirts, white dress shirts, and tuxedo dress shirts to match your wardrobe and your lifestyle.

Whether you need a black tie shirt, a breathable office staple, or a bold checked design for Friday casual, we’ll tailor the perfect piece - using bespoke construction, hand-cut patterns and superior cloth.

Your Best Shirt Starts

With the First Fitting

A Fit So Precise,
You’ll Forget It’s There

We take around 25 individual measurements to ensure your shirt hugs the shoulders, fits clean at the collar, and allows natural movement through the arms and torso - no pulling, no bagging, no compromise.

From Oxford cloth shirts and guys’ linen shirts to formal non-iron business shirts, our tailors ensure you feel as good as you look.

And with decades of experience fitting every body type, we make every shirt feel like it was made just for you - because it was.

Measured Right.

Made to Move.

For the last two years I've employed the services of Germanicos to help me look sharp for The Logies.They never fail to deliver an astounding suit, in record time. I've never had so many positive comments on my suits before.I won't be going anywhere else from now on.

Aaron Sansoni

Everything was ‘bespoke’ not just the tailoring, but the conversation and service as well. I have purchased suits in 50+ countries and not one of them has come close to my tailored suits by Germanicos. I have tested all their suits vigorously in every condition both indoors, outdoors and they have passed with flying colours. Getting a suit from Germanicos gives you the feeling of ‘getting a new hair cut every day’!
