What is the Trial shirt? 

Bespoke
We construct a single shirt to your exact specifications.  After a fitting, we will make any necessary adjustments and proceed with the balance of your order only upon your approval.  We guarantee 100% satisfaction.  If we are unable to provide a satisfactory trial shirt you may cancel the order.  (First and second trial shirt, no charge for repairs; Additional trial shirt repairs, charges will apply.)

What is the Fit shirt?

Signature
Try-on shirts are available in all sizes to help you determine fit.

What is fusing, and why do most shirtmakers fuse collars and cuffs?  Why does Hamilton not fuse collars and cuffs?

Collars and cuffs consist of an interlining sewn between two pieces of fabric.  It’s this interlining that provides the necessary structure and weight.  Most shirtmakers choose to glue, or fuse, the interlining to the fabric because it is an easy way to ensure the shirt looks crisp when new.  It requires greater care and skill to construct an excellent non-fused collar.  The downside to fusing is that the shirt continues to shrink with each laundering as the glue contracts.  Non-fused shirts do not shrink after initial launderings.

Where will my shirts be made?

All Hamilton shirts are made in our Houston workshop.  We invite you to visit our storefront and workshop where you can select fabrics from the bolt and observe the shirtmaking process.

How do I care for my shirts?

Most shirts can be sent to a commercial laundry.  We recommend no starch.  If dry cleaning is required, it will be indicated on a special care tag in the shirt.  Your collar has been specially constructed to avoid excessive shrinkage after many launderings.  We do not glue, or fuse, the interlining to the collar fabric.  To avoid creasing, the collar should be pressed from the ends toward the center while slightly damp.

Do you make ladies shirts?

No.


Our Fabrics

Where are the fabrics from?

We carry only the world's finest fabrics from exclusive European mills; all are double-ply and derived from extra long staple cotton.  Our premium Kent Collection features 140 and 170 yarn count fabrics.  The higher yarn count creates a luxurious fabric with incomparable softness and sheen.  Our suppliers are among the most sought after mills in Switzerland and Italy.  They include Albini, Alumo, Grandi and Rubinelli, S.I.C. Tess, Testa and Thomas Mason.

Do you send fabric swatches?

Yes.  We can send a limited amount of individually chosen swatches per your request.

How often do you receive new fabrics?

Our Fall/Winter collection arrives in August and our Spring/Summer collection is available in February.   We sometimes receive new fabrics mid-season and notify registered users upon arrival.

I saw a fabric on the web site a few months ago, but it is not there anymore-or it appears to be out of stock.  Can I still order a shirt in this fabric?

Our inventory of available fabrics is constantly changing.  Most fabrics are only available for a limited period of time.  If a desired fabric is no longer available please contact your local retailer or info@hamiltonshirts.com and we will be happy to help you locate a similar fabric if one is offered at that time.

Styles

Can I request different collars, cuffs, pockets etc. on each of my shirts?

Yes, of course.  Bespoke and Signature shirt customers have the option to style your shirts however you like.  Please view our STYLES page for more information.

Can you file my measurements for future orders?  What if I need to make changes?

After your first order, all your measurements are kept on file.  For your next order, you will only have to choose fabrics and styling details.  We will make any necessary changes to your measurements over time.

What about shrinkage?

To ensure consistent sizing over time and launderings we use only the finest fabrics and do not fuse collars or cuffs.  Your shirts will arrive with a quarter inch allowance for shrinkage at the collar, cuffs and sleeves.  After one or two launderings your shirt will arrive at its final predetermined size and should fit perfectly.
