Shirts in the City: Where to Buy Them!

Meiko Tailor

Get your men’s shirts tailor-made here in some of the finest shirting fabric from European mills in Italy and Switzerland, including brands like Alumo, Albini/Thomas Mason Group, Loro Piana, Tessitura Monti and S.I.C. Tess. You’ll get to customise little details, such as the contrast collars and cuffs, your choice of mother-of-pearl buttons, and even personalised initials on the shirt or cufflinks. Plus, you could find a wide range of avant-garde geometric printed fabric from Liberty London to be turned into statement shirts, and consider their in-house Egyptian cotton collection for your day-to-day business shirt (from $189).

Meiko Tailor is amongst four menswear tailors in Singapore that have exclusivity to the S.I.C. Tess Collection, a historic brand of Italian excellence in luxury shirts since 1924. It offers a vast collection of textures, designs and colours in its various fabrics, which include 120/2 poplin, twills, Oxfords, jacquards, open weaves, cashmere-silk blends, voile, mixed linen and 100 percent linen, up to the very special 240/2 and 300/2 poplin. These particular swatch books are for Meiko’s clients who require the very best quality of classic shirting.
