Frequently Asked Questions about Shirt Alterations
Here are some of the most common questions we receive about Shirt alterations:
At your appointment, you will choose your collection date using our in-house system. We also offer same-day or next-day services if required. You will receive an automated text or email with your order number and fitting date. Once your item is ready for a fitting, our system will automatically notify you via text or email. Alternatively, you can track your order anytime using our online status checker. If your order is completed ahead of schedule, you’ll have the option to collect it sooner.
To get the right fit, common shirt adjustments usually entail changing the sleeves, either shortening or lengthening them. Depending on personal desire, a thinner or looser silhouette can be achieved by taking in or letting out the back or side seams. For better proportion and a more attractive appearance, the shirt's length can also be changed. Adjustments can be made to make the collar tighter or more open for individuals who want a different style. A more tailored look can be achieved by slimming the shirt's overall fit and adjusting the cuffs to fit better. Anyone can have a flawless, personalised fit thanks to these adjustments.
