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.

I want my dress shirt to be unique, express­ing my per­son­al­ity. Most impor­tantly, I want it to fit right. A well fit­ted shirt makes any­one look bet­ter, com­pli­ment­ing their fea­tures, mak­ing a strong impres­sion but also mak­ing you feel com­fort­able and con­fi­dent as well. There’s noth­ing wrong with an edge in the office or the nightclub.

Well, I think it’s time we stopped com­pro­mis­ing. It’s time to get the dress shirt we want, from the exact fit and fin­ish, to the fab­ric, the cuff design and what­ever else we can think of. Why? Because now we can.

We at Deo Ver­i­tas have come up with the ulti­mate solu­tion. You can now design your own dress shirt online. The fab­ric we use is high end with­out the high end prices: Ital­ian spun cot­ton from Tes­si­tura Monti. We also offer a wide array of col­ors and pat­terns. The key to all of this is while you design your shirt, from the col­lar to the cuff, you will be able to see the changes dur­ing the shirt cre­ation. Our ren­der­ing soft­ware shows you the exact image of your future shirt. What you see, is what you get. Another great fea­ture is the siz­ing. You can go with the stan­dard siz­ing offered by ready made shirts or you can take the extra step and use a tape mea­sure. We offer direc­tion on how to mea­sure your­self, which takes about 10 min­utes. We also rec­om­mend you include your height and weight, so we can get it sized per­fectly. You can then save this fea­ture into your pro­file so it’s a one step exer­cise.  Patrick Tut­tle, a men’s style and fash­ion writer at Gearpa­trol, posted this  review on our process and shirts.

What we want to pro­vide you is an online, cus­tom tai­lored expe­ri­ence in our dress shirts, pro­vid­ing the old world tra­di­tion of a tailor’s cut, but from your own home at your own leisure. We are empow­er­ing our cus­tomers to get what they want, when they want it, with­out any com­pro­mise on qual­ity. It’s a place where tech­nol­ogy meets tra­di­tion and we want you to be a part of it.
