Custom Shirt Tailoring

What this service is

Custom shirt tailoring means we take your actual measurements — chest, shoulder width, sleeve length, neck, torso length — and cut a shirt pattern specifically for your body, rather than grading a standard size up or down. You choose the fabric, collar style, cuff style, and fit (slim, regular, or relaxed). The result is a shirt that sits correctly at the shoulder seam and doesn't billow or pull, which is the most common failure point of off-the-rack shirts.

Who this is for

This service is built for:

• —Professionals and entrepreneurs who wear dress shirts often enough that fit and durability actually matter, not just for one event.
• —Men outside standard sizing — broader shoulders, longer torso, narrower waist, or any combination standard S/M/L/XL sizing doesn't handle well.
• —African professionals in the diaspora who want fabric and design choices that reflect cultural identity, not just generic "business casual."
• —Anyone replacing a wardrobe of shirts that fit "okay" with shirts that fit exactly.

What it costs

Custom shirts range from $150 to $300. The variation comes down to fabric grade and detailing — a base cotton shirt in a simple cut sits at the lower end, while premium fabric with more construction detail (French cuffs, contrast stitching, monogramming) sits toward $300. You'll always get a confirmed price before production starts, not an estimate that changes later.

How long it takes

Turnaround depends on the fabric in stock and current order volume. Use the Delivery Estimation tool on the Reposition site to get a specific timeline for your order and location before you check out, so you know exactly when to expect it.

What's included

• —A full measurement session, in person at Abuja, Lagos, or London, or guided remotely if you're ordering from elsewhere.
• —Your choice of fabric, collar, cuff, and fit.
• —A pattern saved to your profile, so reordering later doesn't require remeasuring.
