A standard shirt size chart works from a handful of measurements, neck and chest, and extrapolates the rest. A bespoke shirt is built from closer to twenty individual measurements, including collar shape, cuff circumference at rest and in motion, and sleeve length measured with your arm bent, not straight. Dandylion Style hand-tailors bespoke shirts in West Sussex from our Ardingly studio, in Egyptian and Swiss cottons. Enquire for pricing.

A conversation about collar style, cuff type and how you'll wear the shirt, under a suit, open-collar, or both, since a collar cut for a tie sits differently open. Meet Igor at our Ardingly studio, or we'll travel to you across Sussex.
Egyptian and Swiss cottons are offered alongside linen for warmer weather, chosen by weave and weight for how crisp or soft you want the finished shirt to feel against the collar and cuff specifically.
The part most shirt-buying guides skip. Collar point length and spread, and single or double cuff, are decided against your neck shape and how the collar should sit under a jacket lapel, not a generic size-chart shape.
A full measuring session captures collar, chest, waist, sleeve length with the arm bent, and cuff circumference both at rest and closed, closer to twenty individual measurements rather than the two or three a size chart uses.
Hand-finished with attention to yoke and shoulder seam placement, since a shirt that gathers or pulls across the shoulder usually traces back to this seam rather than the collar or cuff.
A single fitting is usually enough to confirm collar and cuff before completion. Once it's right, it's yours, fitting the collar and cuff specifically, the two points a bespoke shirt is judged on.
Every two-piece suit is cut and fitted personally by Igor at the Ardingly studio, using British cloth chosen for how you'll actually wear it.

bespoke shirt is measured from closer to twenty individual points rather than the neck and chest measurement a standard size chart extrapolates from. Collar shape and cuff fit, at rest and in motion, are the details this precision is built around.
Cost depends on cloth choice, Egyptian and Swiss cottons sit at different price points, and any additional detailing. Igor gives an exact price once fabric and collar style are agreed at your Ardingly consultation.
Because a collar cut for one purpose, worn with a tie under a jacket, sits differently worn open, and a size-chart collar can't account for both. Igor discusses how you'll primarily wear the shirt before finalising the collar's point length and spread.
Typically a shorter build than a full suit, often ready within a few weeks of your consultation. One fitting is usually enough to confirm collar and cuff fit before completion.
It can be ordered on its own. Many clients order bespoke shirts individually for business or everyday wear, while others add them to a full bespoke wardrobe alongside a suit.
