This is regrettable because a shirt doesn’t have to be a uniform. In fact, nothing contrib- utes so much to a man's individuality and comfort than cus- tom made shirts. Don’t let the words “custom made” intimidate you. We’re old fashioned craftsmen who don't go in for fancy fixtures in our establishment. We love to make beautiful shirts because that’s the only way we know how.
