A Shirt is one of the most personal garments a man can own. It sits closest to the skin, frames the face, and often sets the tone for the rest of the outfit. At Arthur’s, we craft shirts that bring together comfort, elegance, and individuality, tailored to your exact needs. Each piece is made to your specifications, with countless possibilities for styling — from collar shapes and cuff designs to plackets and pockets. Whether for business, casual wear, or formal occasions, every shirt is created to reflect your personal style.
SHIRTS
A Library of Exceptional Fabrics
Our fabric collection is among the widest in the country, with over 700 bolts in stock from the world’s most renowned mills - Alumo, Thomas Mason, Grandi & Rubinelli, Loro Piana, Canclini, and Zegna. Within this selection you will find the most luxurious poplins, the finest twills, the softest brushed cottons, and the most colorful linens, offering endless inspiration for every season and occasion.
Artisanal Craftsmanship & In-house Production
Our shirts feature ultrafine single needle stitching, perfectly matched patterns, and Australian mother-of-pearl buttons. Floating collars and cuffs are reserved exclusively for our Bespoke service. Most important of all, every shirt is produced in-house at our own atelier, allowing us to maintain complete control over quality and consistency.
Two Distinct Services
We offer two different ways to experience our shirts. Bespoke Shirts are created for those seeking the highest level of personalization, while Black Label Made to Measure Shirts provide a more streamlined process with a consistent fit.
Black Label MTM
Black Label offers a streamlined path to custom shirts. The fit of the body is based on one of two cuts, Slim or Classic. From there, we will customize the essentials: the sleeve length, collar size, cuff size, and body length. This approach provides an efficient process while still offering access to our extensive fabric collection and a curated set of styling options.
Minimum order: 3 shirts, $75 surcharge per shirt for orders of 1 or 2 shirts
From: $325 per shirt
Bespoke
Bespoke is the most personalized shirt making experience. We begin with detailed measurements, posture analysis, and the creation of a paper pattern drafted uniquely for you. A muslin fitting follows, often with two or three trials, until the fit is perfected to the taste of both client and maker. The result is a shirt that feels natural, elegant, and entirely your own.
Minimum order: 3 shirts
From: $375 per shirt
Pattern creation fee: $200, waived for orders of 6 shirts or more
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT BESPOKE SHIRTS
It depends. Many factors will determine how long a shirt will last. The most notable one will be laundry and maintenance. The amount of heat, pressure and chemicals used in the cleaning process will have a big impact on the shirt's lifespan. Also, the way you wear the shirt will make a difference; for example, taking the time to unbutton the shirt properly is important.
The best way to clean a shirt in order to maximize durability is the traditional way (and the most time-consuming)…washed and ironed by hand. Let it soak in warm soapy water for 30 minutes and gently scrub the soiled areas with laundry detergent and a soft toothbrush. Hang dry and press by hand, making sure the shirt is still moist.
Technically, even the best cottons will shrink by an inconsiderable amount. However, the only notable shrinkage will be for the collar which we guarantee will shrink by a maximum of ½" after the first 2-3 washes, and then it will not change in size. That shrinking allowance is taken into consideration when cutting your collar.
Everything is produced from our workshop/showroom in the heart of downtown Montreal. This makes our production line much more flexible and offers a superior level of service where your consultant is also your shirt maker. It is very important that the person measuring you is also the one working on your pattern. We are able to craft your shirts with maximum precision and detail.
We will take 15-20 measurements (depending on your body's shape and size). Then, your pattern will be created from a blank piece of paper and a try-on shirt (a.k.a. muslin fitting) will be created solely for fitting purposes. Adjustments are noted and problem areas are pinned to the slightest detail to attain the perfect fit you are looking for.
We require 3 shirts for new clients plus a $150 muslin fitting fee. We will waive that fee for orders of 6 shirts or more. For office/house visits in the Montreal area, the minimum order is 6 shirts. Quantities vary when visiting cities outside the area of Montreal.
If we already have your measurements and your paper pattern, we will send you a selection of fabric swatches. If we don't have your measurements, we would set an appointment for our next visit to your area. If we do not visit your area regularly, you could send us your best fitting shirt and we could copy the measurements off of it and also make adjustments to the pattern, if necessary.
Yes. One of the main advantages of having custom-made shirts done is the possibility of replacing your old collar and cuffs with a new set, thus considerably extending the lifespan of your shirts.
