Custom Dress Shirts with Logo

Most offices do not need a full uniform — they need one shirt, done properly, with the logo in the right place. Company logo dress shirts sound like a simple order, but the work is in the details a wearer never names: whether the collar stands under a tie, whether the placket lies flat after twenty washes, whether the embroidery sits at the same height on every size.

The specification that decides the shirt

Four choices define a dress shirt: the collar, the cuff, the placket and the pocket. Collar shape sets the formality and the tie behaviour; cuff type sets how the sleeve finishes under a jacket; placket width and button spacing decide whether the front stays flat; and pocket policy — none, one, or a pen slot — is a brand decision more than a practical one. All four go in the tech pack. None should be left to the sewing line.

Fabric: poplin or oxford

Poplin gives the crisp, smooth read that belongs under tailoring; oxford’s basket weave is more forgiving of creasing and suits a shirt worn on its own. Polyester-cotton blends hold colour and press easily through home laundering; higher cotton content improves hand feel and adds a shrinkage allowance we build into the pattern. The poplin guide covers the trade-offs in detail.

Where the logo sits

Left chest is the default, measured down from the shoulder seam and across from centre front, and positioned to clear a pinned badge where staff wear one. Collar point and cuff placements suit teams whose chest must stay clean. Whichever you choose, the stitch-out is approved on the actual shirting — a logo digitised for heavier fabric will pucker poplin.

What to confirm on the sample

Approve the shirt washed and pressed, not just off the machine: collar and cuff fusing after laundering, placket roll, embroidery pull, and sleeve and body lengths on real wearers across three or four sizes. Once the sample is sealed, every re-order is cut against it — which is what makes a shirt policy survivable as staff come and go.

Budget honesty, briefly: the collar, cuff and placket choices move the price less than the fabric and the pattern count do. If the range has to tighten, keep the cloth and simplify the details — a well-cut plain shirt outclasses a cheap cloth with contrast stitching every time.
