This is Fukunobu from the ApparelX OEM blog.
At ApparelX, we handle sewing production at our partner custom shirt factories.
While they use versatile factory patterns and basic blocks, they offer a wide range of options, including more than 60 collar styles and more than 10 cuff styles, so they can meet a variety of needs and create a truly original shirt. From dress shirts to casual styles, we will introduce examples of custom orders that make the most of that flexibility.
Please use us as your platform for one-stop arrangements of textiles, auxiliary materials, and sewing production through our website.
From standard collar styles to special collars like this one, many variations are possible.
Just looking at this collar, you can probably already sense the potential for customization.
In this article, we will introduce how GX custom shirt factory can be used, based on examples from past inquiries.
"I want to make shirts that reflect my own store"
"I want specifications that cannot be expressed with ready-made products"
"I want to strengthen shirt proposals to match custom suits"
"I am looking for a factory that can produce custom shirts in small lots"
We hope this will be useful for tailors, apparel brands, and select shops.
We partner with a factory specializing in custom shirts, and handle a wide range of products from dress shirts to casual shirts.
One major advantage is that you can consult not only on sizing, but also on fine details such as collar style, cuff style, placket, pocket, buttons, stitching, color combinations, and fabric usage.
When people hear "custom shirt factory," they may imagine that only white or saxe dress shirts are produced.
However, in fact, it can be applied to many different items, including formal shirts, casual shirts, shirt jackets, pullovers, band-collar shirts, and work shirts.
For apparel brands, people considering launching a brand, and select shops, it can be used to plan custom shirts that match the atmosphere of their own store, or original products that cannot be found in ready-made items.
When it comes to custom shirt factories, formal shirts are the classic choice.
Wing collars, pintucks, concealed plackets, double cuffs, and formal requirements such as white plain broadcloth or dobby textiles can all be handled down to the smallest details.
For tailors who handle tuxedos, morning coats, and directors' suits, formal shirts are essential items.
The basic specification for pintucks is 1 cm × 6 lines, but the width and number of pintucks can also be adjusted, making it possible to create original products.
Inquiries about casual shirts are increasing significantly.
Examples include band-collar shirts, pullover shirts, oversized relaxed shirts, work shirts, and open-collar shirts.
Western-style specifications like the one above are also available. Pearl press fasteners can also be used for the buttons, making this a very convenient option for original planning. Even when you do not want to create a pattern completely from scratch, but simply want something with a different feel from ready-made products, using a custom shirt factory is highly recommended.
As a way to use a shirt factory, shirt jackets and outerwear-type items are especially interesting.
Recently, inquiries have increased, partly due to the move away from suits.
By using heavy cotton textiles, wool-like materials, or stretch materials and tailoring them into a light shirt jacket, you can offer something different from a dress shirt.
For example, you can make the item look more workwear-like by adding military-style pockets, epaulettes, or larger chest pockets.
It is lighter than a jacket and easier to raise the unit price than a shirt, so it is also suitable as a launch item for spring and autumn.
For tailors, it can be offered as a casual layer in addition to suits and jackets. For select shops, it is likely easier to plan as a seasonal custom item.
As for pintucks, it is also possible to create dressy casual shirts by changing not only the style but also the material and collar shape, which expands the range of design proposals for tailors.
What makes shirts interesting is also the way fabrics are used.
Of course, you can make a cleric shirt with only the collar and cuffs in white, but you can also switch the body left and right, use different fabric only for the sleeves, or add accents to the yoke or placket.
So-called bicolor or crazy-pattern specifications are often disliked by standard factories.
This is because cutting and sewing become more time-consuming, and attention is needed for left-right balance and pattern matching.
Not only cotton and linen, but also silk, kimono fabric, and jersey materials can be handled as different materials.
In addition, it is possible to create sets, such as making pocket squares from the leftover fabric used for shirts.
Proposals that match shirts and pocket squares with the same fabric as the suit or jacket are one of the pleasures unique to custom orders.
Basic T-shirts are also available.
While the level of customization is not as extensive as with shirts, there are 10 sizes available, with slight adjustments possible from there.
There is also an option for side pockets, making this a very good service for a small start.
The value of a custom shirt is not just freedom of design.
Because the neck size, sleeve length, chest, waist, and body length can all be adjusted, it is easier to accommodate customers with body types that do not fit ready-made products well.
For example, some people need a shirt that fits the neck but becomes too wide in the body, while others need the sleeve length adjusted but then the body length becomes too long, or need more room in the chest. With ready-made products, there is often a compromise somewhere.
This is a full custom service that also supports body adjustments.
Even for casual shirts, rather than simply making everything larger, you can get closer to the intended silhouette by adjusting the balance of shoulder width, body width, sleeve width, and length.
Being able to achieve both visual design and comfort when worn is a major advantage of using a custom shirt factory.
The following are some of the most common questions we receive.
Even if you do not have a complete spec sheet, if you have a photo or an actual sample of the desired look, we can discuss together how best to proceed.
We can also check from photos or simple concept images.
By making use of the flexibility of a custom shirt factory, we will support tailors, apparel brands, and select shops in creating new products. Please feel free to consult us.
