We made a video to show how your custom dress shirt is made. Our tailors, the machines, the entire process. It isn’t easy, but then again, nothing is if you want the best.
Need a gift for Father’s Day? “Your Carolina,” broadcasting from CBS in South Carolina, has a good tip, recommending our custom dress shirts. Giving him a high quality dress shirt with the perfect fit guarantees it’ll be worn regularly, comfortably and in style.
We’d suggest a lighter shade fabric, complimented with a nice cigar and a Cucumber Collins, letting him relax while you grill the steaks.
During Christmas break, I laid low with the family. I got lazy, had too many beers and enjoyed a terrific dinner hosted by my brother’s wife in the warm glow of California. On the other hand, Deo Veritas’s founder and CEO, Vinnie Sikka, made the 15 hour journey to Hong Kong to pay a visit to our tailors.
He wants to share his journey, giving an inside view on what it takes to craft a hand made shirt by our seasoned experts. Along with some of the spoils Hong Kong has to offer.
Deo Veritas wants to wish our readers a Merry Christmas. We hope you’re enjoying the holidays with family, loved ones and friends. Thank you for your support and we hope to continue to provide you with helpful content on men’s fashion and lifestyle.
And remember, lay off the Eggnog. Have an Old Fashioned instead, slip on a crisp dress shirt and then position yourself beneath the Mistletoe. Good things will happen, promise.
A few months ago, I was shopping for a dress shirt at Nordstrom’s. After diligently perusing through seven or eight various shades and fabrics for about a ½ hr, I narrowed it down to four choices. Of the four, I wanted a slim fit so that narrowed down my selection to two designers, Calvin Klein and Hugo Boss. I then had to dig through the stacks of shirts and find the proper shirt size (16 32/33).
I’ve learned the hard way that no two designers measure the same, each with their own sizing quirks. The Calvin Klein felt baggy but it was supposed to be fitted and the Hugo Boss was long on the sleeves, reaching my thumbs. I tried on a shorter sleeved Boss and it still was a little long but the only size they had left. After spending almost two hours looking for one shirt, I was pressed for time and compromised, going with the Boss.
I think the ordeal I’ve just described has probably happened to you as well. We’ve all spent time at a store looking for dress shirts and took the time to make sure it’s the right one, which can become a lengthy process. You may even skip trying it on and just find the size, only to find out later at home it needs to be returned or your stuck with an ill fitted shirt. It’s common for ready made shirts not to fit correctly, each with a unique flaw. Getting shirts tailored is great but that extra cost and time cause a lot of us to think twice.
