Before You Order
Your questions, answered
Ordering a garment made to your measurements should feel reassuring, not nerve-racking. Here are the doubts men most often have, and exactly why you can set them aside.
I have never bought a suit I could not try on in a shop first. How do I know it will fit?
Because you do try it on first. Once you send your measurements, we make a free test garment in a stand-in cloth cut to your numbers and post it to you. You put it on at home, check the shoulders, chest, waist, and length, move around in it, and send us your notes and a couple of photos. Only once you are happy do we cut your final cloth, so the finished suit is not a leap of faith, it is a fit you have already seen and approved on your own body.
I am worried I will measure myself wrong.
You do not have to get it perfect. The videos and steps above walk you through each measurement one at a time, a friend or a local tailor can help with the ones that are easier with a second pair of hands, and if you are unsure you can send your best numbers. The free test garment exists precisely to catch anything slightly off, we see the fit on your body and adjust before your final cloth is touched, so a first-try measurement is completely normal.
I have always struggled to find clothes that fit me. Broad shoulders, an athletic build, a longer or shorter torso, or a fuller waist. Is this really for someone like me?
It is made for exactly you. The men who fight hardest with off-the-rack are the ones who benefit most here, because there is no standard size to squeeze into. We cut to your proportions, broad shoulders with a trimmer waist, a fuller stomach with a shorter jacket length, a long or short back, so the garment follows your body instead of forcing your body into a shape it is not. There is nothing wrong with your build; there are only your measurements.
My body is not symmetrical, one shoulder sits lower or my posture is not textbook. Can you cut for that?
Yes. A garment made to your measurements is built for real bodies, not idealized ones. Note anything particular in your order, or simply show us on the test garment, and we adjust the cut, a lower shoulder, a fuller seat, a forward stance, and confirm it before the final cloth is cut. This is exactly what the process does that a size on a rack never can.
It is a lot to spend on something custom made. What is my safety net?
Your safety net is that nothing final, and nothing costly, is cut until you have approved the fit on the free test garment. You are not paying for a gamble, you are paying for a garment whose fit you have already confirmed on your own body. And a well-made piece that actually fits gets worn for years, so the cost per wear is usually far lower than the compromise suits and jackets that sit unworn in the wardrobe.
I need this for a wedding or a specific event and I am anxious it will not be right on the day.
Tell us the date when you order and we plan the whole timeline back from it, including the free test-garment stage, so there is time to confirm the fit and make any adjustments with room to spare. For a dated event, order as early as you can. Because you approve the fit on the test garment before the final piece is cut, you are not walking into your event hoping it fits, you already know it does.
What if it arrives and something is still not quite right?
The final garment is cut to the exact fit you signed off on the test garment, so surprises are rare by design. If a small tweak is ever needed, your finished piece carries seam allowances so a local tailor can fine-tune it, and you can always contact us and we will help make it right. You are never left alone with something that does not work.
What if my weight changes before the event, or later on?
Take your measurements as close to the date as you can, and if your size shifts before we cut the final cloth we simply work to your new numbers. For afterwards, your finished garment is made with seam allowances so a local tailor can take it in or let it out within reason, and we keep your measurements on record, so ordering another piece that fits is simple whenever you want one.
Do I really need someone to help me, or can I do this alone?
You can absolutely do it alone. Most measurements are straightforward to take on yourself with the videos above, and only a few, like across the back and shoulders, are simply easier with a friend holding the tape. Either way, the free test garment is the real check: whatever you measure, you confirm the fit on your body before anything final is made.

Description
The Shirt
Men’s Raw Silk Shirt in 100% Silk, Gold in the Photos, Custom Made
At a Glance
| Cloth | 100% silk with the slubbed, nubby texture of raw silk; low luster |
| Color | Gold in the photos; other raw silk colors in the selector |
| Collar and cuffs | Cutaway collar; convertible two-button cuffs for buttons or cufflinks |
| Sleeves | Long or short, your choice |
| Care | Dry clean only; may relax slightly with wear, never baggy |
| First step | A free test cotton shirt, as in the client photos below |
A raw silk shirt has a texture you can see across a room: small slubs and irregular threads run through the cloth, and the surface has a soft, low luster instead of a high shine. This men’s raw silk shirt is cut to your measurements in 100% silk, shown in gold, with a cutaway collar, a chest pocket and convertible two-button cuffs.
A raw silk shirt sits between a dress shirt and a casual one. Smooth silk is the classic dress-shirt choice; the texture of raw silk makes it relaxed enough for a summer party, yet it still sits well under a blazer. Long or short sleeves are your choice. Before the silk is cut, we send you a free test cotton shirt cut to your measurements, and you keep it.
Free Test Shirt
A Free Test Shirt, Shown on a Client
Before any silk is cut, your shirt is made first in cotton from your measurements and sent to you free. The photos below are a client’s test shirt for his raw silk shirt: a plain cotton in light blue, worn at home so we could read the fit. The test shirt is yours to keep, and it may not carry every style detail of the silk one.
Front
Collar, chest and sleeve length checked in cotton. Tap to see it full size.
Back
Shoulders, yoke and length from behind.
From what this client’s test shirt showed us, we removed the spare cloth at the back, narrowed the shoulders and the sleeves, and cut his final raw silk shirt to sit more snugly than the test. Your own changes may be different; the test shirt is where we see them.
Raw silk has little give, so the test shirt is where room is set. Check that you can button the cuffs over your watch, that the chest does not pull between buttons when you sit, and that the hem is long enough to stay tucked or short enough to wear out, whichever you prefer. If you want short sleeves, the test shirt shows where they will end.

What Is Raw Silk
What Is Raw Silk?
Raw silk is a name for silk woven with its natural irregularities left in: thicker and thinner threads give the slubs and a dry, matte hand. It is the opposite of a smooth satin.
| Raw silk, this shirt | Textured and matte with a soft glow; relaxed, breathes well, creases softly |
| Satin silk | Smooth and glossy; dressier and more formal; see our satin silk shirt |
| Polyester ‘silk’ | Uniform and shiny, without the texture or the breathability of real silk |
Silk breathes, so a pure silk shirt stays cool in heat, and raw silk adds a crisp body that keeps the shirt from clinging. That is why a pure silk shirt in raw silk is a favorite for summer weddings, festivals and evenings in warm places. The label reads 100% silk; the texture is part of the cloth, not a print.
How to Wear It
Wearing a Raw Silk Shirt
| Summer evenings | Open collar, sleeves rolled or short, with linen or cotton trousers |
| Weddings and festivals | Under a light blazer or with our men’s silk suit, in gold, red or natural |
| Smart casual | Untucked over tailored trousers; the cutaway collar sits well open |
Gold is bolder than it sounds: in raw silk the color reads as warm sand with a soft sheen, easy with navy, brown and white trousers. For a quieter gray in short sleeves, see our gray raw silk shirt with short sleeves.

Questions & Answers
Questions About the Men’s Raw Silk Shirt
Q. What is a raw silk shirt?
A. A shirt in raw silk, a silk cloth woven with its natural slubs and irregular threads left in. It has a textured, matte surface with a soft glow, unlike smooth, glossy satin silk. This one is 100% silk.
Q. Is raw silk real silk?
A. Yes. Raw silk is 100% silk; the name describes the textured look of the cloth, not a blend. A label of 100% silk is what to look for.
Q. Is raw silk better than smooth silk?
A. Neither is better; they suit different uses. Raw silk is textured, matte and relaxed, and it hides small creases. Smooth silk such as satin is glossy and dressier. Choose raw silk for warm days and smart casual wear, smooth silk for formal evenings.
Q. Is a raw silk shirt good for summer?
A. Yes. Silk breathes and stays light, and the crisp body of raw silk keeps it from clinging in heat. Short sleeves are available for the hottest days.
Q. Does raw silk wrinkle?
A. It creases softly, like linen, and the texture hides small creases well. Hang it after wearing and steam it lightly; avoid pressing hard, which can flatten the slubs.
Q. Can I get short sleeves?
A. Yes. Choose short sleeves when you order, or write it in the comment box; the test shirt shows where the sleeve will end.
Q. Does raw silk shrink or stretch?
A. Kept to dry cleaning, it holds its size. With wear it may relax slightly, but it does not go baggy. Washing in water is not recommended; it can change the size and texture of the cloth.
Q. How do I care for a raw silk shirt?
A. Dry clean only. Keep it on a broad hanger, away from perfume and deodorant until they dry, and steam rather than iron.
Q. Is the test shirt free, and how long does it take?
A. Yes, the test shirt is free and yours to keep. It takes 3 to 4 weeks to make and arrives 5 to 10 days after dispatch; once you confirm the fit, your final shirt takes 3 to 4 weeks to make and arrives 5 to 10 days after dispatch.

Burgundy is having a genuine moment in menswear — runway-validated, worn by men who know the difference between a statement and a mistake.

Flannel is the fabric that makes the color credible. This mens burgundy flannel tuxedo is made to your measurements in Super 120s wool flannel with a silk satin shawl collar and a canvas front.

Most grooms choosing a black tuxedo don’t know there’s a version that behaves differently under evening light. Mohair is the difference: the fiber catches candlelight and venue lighting in a way plain wool doesn’t, and its natural crease resistance keeps the suit sharp through a twelve-hour wedding day. This black mohair tuxedo is built to your measurements in a Super 140s merino-mohair blend, on a canvas front, with silk satin notch lapels and hand-finished buttonholes. Before we cut the mohair, we send a free test suit to confirm the fit at home.

While its classic form anchors a formal ensemble, the jacket can also be commissioned with an unstructured construction, creating a versatile blazer that pairs with equal authority over fine chinos or linen trousers.

The problem with a linen wedding suit off the rack is that linen without a proper fit looks underdressed, not relaxed. The wrinkles are visible from across the aisle when the suit wasn’t cut for your body — and unlike wool, linen has no structure to hide an imprecise fit. This three-piece linen wedding suit is made to your measurements in 100% pure linen across 18 colors, with a canvas front jacket, hand-finished buttonholes, and a full vest so when the jacket comes off at the reception you still look formally dressed. Before we cut the linen, we send a free test suit to confirm the fit at home.

Shirt Fit Guide
A shirt’s fit affects comfort, range of motion, and how cleanly it layers under jackets or stands on its own. Your test garment will reflect how close or relaxed the shirt feels on your body. Choose the silhouette that best complements your frame and styling preference.
Slim Fit
Tailored and tapered through the body and sleeves.
Best for: A lean or athletic build. Designed for a modern, close-to-the-body shape that tucks cleanly under jackets without bulk.
Standard Fit
Balanced room for comfort and structure.
Best for: Most body types and general wear. This is the go-to fit for everyday versatility — neither too slim nor too loose.
Relaxed Fit
Maximum ease of movement and airflow.
Best for: Those who prefer a looser drape or require extra room in the midsection and sleeves. Ideal for warmer climates or casual styling.
Athletic Fit
V-shaped design to follow your build.
Best for: Men with broader chests and shoulders who need space up top and taper through the waist — this cut avoids excess fabric while preserving mobility.
Men’s Shirt Fit Guide
How a Men’s Shirt Should Fit
A shirt is the layer closest to you, worn the most and noticed up close, so small fit problems show fast: a collar that chokes or gaps, a body that billows out at the waist, a cuff that swallows your hand. A shirt made to your measurements fixes all of it at once. You choose the fit and the collar, we cut the neck, shoulders, chest, and sleeve to your body, and a free test garment confirms it on you before your final cloth is cut.
A shirt that fits properly is one you live in and keep returning to, not one you settle for. This guide covers the fits, the collar choices, and the points to check so yours feels right the first time you button it and stays that way for years.
Step One
Choose your fit
Slim
Tapered close through the chest and waist for a clean, modern line with no excess fabric. Best if you like a shirt that follows the body.
Standard
Shaped but comfortable, with a little ease through the body for easy movement and all-day wear. The most versatile fit and the one most men are happiest in.
Relaxed
Generous through the chest and waist for maximum comfort and an easy drape. Ideal for a fuller frame or a softer, casual look worn tucked or loose.
Athletic
Cut for a built frame, with extra room through the chest and shoulders and a tapered waist, so a muscular build fills the shirt without pulling at the buttons or billowing when tucked.
Step Two
The fit checkpoints
Collar
Buttoned, the collar sits close without choking, with room for one finger. It should not gap in front or ride up the neck. This is the detail people see first, so we cut it to your exact neck.
Shoulders
The shoulder seam sits right where your shoulder ends, not drooping onto the arm or pulling across the back, so the shirt moves with you rather than against you.
Chest & body
The shirt skims the chest and torso cleanly, with no pulling at the buttons and no billowing at the waist when tucked. Cut to you, it stays neat whether you leave it in or out.
Sleeve & cuff
The sleeve ends at the base of the thumb so the cuff sits at your wrist, and the cuff is snug enough to stay put without a watch, so it does not slide over your hand.
Every shirt is made to your measurements with no standard sizing, in the fit and collar you choose. A free test garment confirms the collar, shoulders, chest, and sleeve on your body before your final cloth is cut, and it is yours to keep.
Your Worries, Answered
The doubts most men have, and why you can relax
My collar always either chokes me or gaps. Will a custom shirt really fix that?
Yes, directly. Collar problems come from a neck measurement cut to a fixed size rather than yours. We cut the collar to your exact neck with the right ease, so it sits close but comfortable, and you confirm exactly that on the free test garment before your final cloth is cut.
Shirts always billow around my waist when I tuck them in. Can you fix that?
That is the classic sign of a shirt cut too full for your body. Because we shape the chest and waist to your measurements, the shirt stays clean when tucked, with no balloon of fabric, and you see exactly that on the test garment before we make the final one.
I have never bought a shirt I could not try on first. How do I know it will fit?
Because you do try it on first. We make a free test garment in a stand-in cloth to your measurements and post it to you. You button it, check the collar, shoulders, chest, and sleeve, and send us your notes and photos. Only once you are happy do we cut your final cloth, so the finished shirt is a fit you have already approved.
I am nervous I will measure myself wrong.
You do not have to be perfect. Our guide walks you through each measurement, a friend or a local tailor can help, and if you are unsure you can send your best numbers. The free test garment catches anything slightly off, we see the fit on your body and adjust, so a first-try measurement is completely normal.
A custom shirt costs more than a high-street one. Is it worth it?
A shirt that fits at the collar, chest, and cuff is one you wear constantly and feel good in every time, so it earns its keep far faster than a drawer of shirts that never sit right. Nothing final is cut until you approve the fit, and a shirt made well in quality cloth holds its shape and stays sharp wash after wash for years.
Will I still be happy with it in a few years?
That is the idea. We cut a clean, timeless shape rather than a trend, in good cloth that softens and wears well over time. Most men find a properly fitted shirt becomes a favourite they reach for again and again, and it still feels right long after, because it was made for you, not for an average.
What if my weight or neck size changes later?
We keep your measurements on record, so ordering another shirt that fits your new numbers is simple whenever you need it, and small changes can often be eased by a local tailor. Your fit is never locked to a size on a label.

Clay Lohmann –
Craftsmanship an artisan admiresMy name is Clayborn Lohmann & I am a professional Artist who works with cloth and sews as part of my procedures. For 30 years my wife, who was also a well-known Artist..Julie Lynn Green ordered all my clothes. Unfortunately, she died on 10/12/21 & for the first time in decades, I am in search of the type of articles of clothing she routinely purchased for me. What I found was what I most wanted was for the most part unavailable!? Raw silk shirts specifically & is how I became acquainted with Baron Boutique. In brief everything and all my dealings with Baron Boutique have been extraordinarily above board, clear, and of excellent quality and craft! I could not recommend anyone more.
