There is a company out there called “ShirtCycle” that takes dress shirt shopping to the next level. If you ask most guys if they know their body measurements for getting a custom shirt, most would shrug. ShirtCycle solves this. ShirtCycle takes your “off the rack” measurements and a photo to get a perfect, truly personalized fit. They even include a personal stylist, Matt Harpalani of NYC, who has curated shirt styles and fabrics 10,000 clients.
The advantages of a custom tailored shirt from ShirtCycle is not just the ability to choose your favorite pattern or solid fabric to fit your personal taste, but also the quality workmanship of 25-30 stitches per inch, a 4- piece collar construction, European milled fabrics, French seams, and designer Mother of Pearl Shell buttons. With www.ShirtCycle.com, you receive a free custom shirt to try on based on your initial measurements, either keeping it because it fits or sending it back in a prepaid package to be re-tailored, at no additional cost. ShirtCycle has about a 65% success rate on getting the fit right on your first measurements, so most clients are all right out of the gate.
After your fit is verified, you review your curated shirt fabrics and styles online, which you can confirm or swap. In a few weeks, you will receive the 3 shirts that match your look and style, right to your door for just $250. Each successive order will include a set of 3 hand-selected custom shirts for the same price. ShirtCycle only sends clients shirt in a fit, fabric and style they’ve approved and are yet to have any returns, saving you time.
Unlike subscription companies “Trunk Club”, ShirtCycle only sends you shirts you want. They save you the headache of dealing with returns. And without a big inventory to manage due to the nature of custom, they are about half the price.
Unlike other online custom clothiers like “Indochino”, they verify your fit up front so you don’t have to find and wait to be reimbursed for local alterations to the shirts you receive. They believe time is money and try to save you time while helping you look better,
“Bespoke” clothing has become a very popular way to shop, but it usually comes with a high price tag. ShirtCycle delivers high quality, Italian sea island and non-irons for $83 and you get to you’re your free shirt.
As far as the company goes, the name “ShirtCycle” does not say “Custom Fit Dress Shirts” to me. I kind of understand how they are equating the process to a “cycle”, where you go through the process for custom tailoring and then repeat orders for your shirts with your personal measurements, but maybe with a name like “Style-Fitted” or “Tailored Shirts”, people may be more aware of what they actually do.
