MADE FOR YOU.
THE MADE SUITS SIGNATURE SHIRTING.
With our signature shirting line, a variety of collar makes including a soft and un-fused option
are available upon request.
Hand attach Collar with our signature unfused option.
Using 100% handmade steps some stuff is useful to do only by hand.
One of them is the armhole because it enables the sewer to gather more fullness of the sleeve into the armhole which enables a better freedom of movement.
At Made Suits, our made man can request an armhole are entirely attached by hand but of course we don’t really mean using only hand to attach the sleeve because it would be too weak.
We usually only use it is attached the sleeve armhole first by hand and then sewn over the top by machine to add more strength to the armholes to between further ripping or any damage to our bespoke shirts.
HAND ATTACHED COLLARS
The proof is in the tactile end result, which shows how each subtle detail contributes to an exceptional garment.
Noticeable stitching shows the steps of a handmade collar.
100 STEPS HANDMADE BUTTOHOLE
We know that a hand sewing the buttonholes and buttons is largely aesthetic but at Made Suits we believe that promoting the finest craftsmanship of the hand provides a better value largely to the difference to of an off the rack shirt as to a handmade bespoke shirt.
Which is why each and every shirt we produce are mostly using the finest technique of our 100 steps hand buttonhole for our clients.
Each 100 step buttonhole takes
20 to 45 minutes
Because this is our commitment to artisanal diligence.
Our Shirts usually take 2.5 - 3 weeks upon completion depending the amount of handwork included in the shirt.
But don't take our word for it - discover it yourself

MOTHER OF PEARL (MOP)
Mother of Pearl buttons in short MOP, are a classic favourite by high-quality shirt makers. Made from the inner layer of pearl oysters they have a little more depth of colour than plastic resin buttons do. MOP do not dissolve in colour after repeated washes unlike resin plastic buttons can which drop in colour overtime.
In terms of look wise it shows off the most resplendent glitter which adds instant glamour and elegance to any shirt.
The unique thickness of the MOP and the curved back makes buttoning our shirts in the morning a breeze.
SPLIT YOKE.
SPLIT YOKE
ONE PIECE YOKE
Sample of a SPLIT YOKE Dress Shirt
Over at MADE SUITS we use split yoke for all our shirts. We ensure to provide the best comfort to our clients. Using special technical terms to education our consumers to let them have the best product possible.
You may wonder what a dress shirt yoke is it is the basically panel of fabric that is just behind your collar that goes over the tops of your shoulders.
What is the Difference between a “one piece yoke” & “split yoke” ?
A one piece yoke is made from a single piece of fabric. A split yoke is split down the middle and sewn together in the middle and split yoke uses more fabric and takes longer to make than a one piece yoke.
Why is Split Yoke Superior than all one piece yoke?
First you need to understand how woven cottons stretch. Most dress shirt made from 100% cotton the fabric has threads running both vertically and horizontally.
For most high quality woven cottons, the fabric will not stretch very much at all if you try to stretch it vertically, or if you try to stretch it horizontally. However, if you try to stretch it diagonally it stretches pretty easily. Thus, the real benefit of the split yoke is that by rotating the fabrics to the angled orientation, its basically adding stretch to the yoke across its width.
It makes a real difference in comfort. When you’re tying your shoes, or driving a car or lots of other every day activities you put pressure on the yoke behind your back and if it is a split yoke it will stretch to accommodate your movement better, providing more comfort.

STIFF COLLAR FUSING

CUTAWAY COLLAR STANDING
SHIRT COLLAR STANDING UP
You have visions of wearing your shirt open collar and looking as sharp as David Beckham but for some reason your collar is not looking great. It’s sliding down rather than standing straight up.
Our band design uses stiff fusing on both sides for a cleaner appearance that also contributes to their ability to stand up strong under a jacket. Be sure you also consider your straight placket. If you have plain placket there is less support for the collar. Our straight placket provide fusing which will provide the most support to help your collar stand up tall.

WITH
ONE PIECE COLLAR
Enter the one piece collar or as it’s also known, the California Collar or Ludo Collar. An early 20th century classic, this collar was popularised in the 40s/50s by Hollywood icon Gary Cooper. Consequentially, it’s sometime also referred to as the Cooper Collar.
At first glance you’d probably look and think this collar is a type of button down collar. Then you look closer and go, “wait… something is different here…”
Features & Construction
The collar itself is distinguished in that it’s cut from a single piece of cloth that extends through the front torso and doubles as a placket. This reinforcing effect allows the collar to stand on its own, without collapsing under it’s own weight. There is no interlining or collar band whatsoever which gives it a roll that you won’t see with any other shirt collar. We make ours with no top button and a curved top placket which give it a unique casual look.
Inside the Construction of our One Piece Collar
For it to look / function as described, the one piece collar requires a skilled pattern cutter, making it almost exclusively a custom or bespoke item. As such, one piece collars are rarely found in ready wear shirts. As the placket and collar are one, the pattern needs to be cut with absolute precision and with an exact curvature that give it such a distinct look. It’s an incredibly difficult construction that if cut poorly, ruins the entire shirt’s look. As a default, we build our one piece collar with visible collar point buttons however we can also make it with hidden buttons behind the collar points
One piece collar with a blazer behind collar points
The resultant effect is a shirt that looks totally natural sans tie. If you’re into collar roll, the one piece collar is the perfect casual shirt – appropriate with or without a blazer. The other benefit is comfort. You never have to worry about a one piece collar collapsing as some collars sometimes do with a blazer.
