We recently ran a giveaway for ShirtsMyWay.com, where you can custom design your own shirts selecting fabric, styles, lengths, cuffs and so on. We had the chance to design our own shirt, and decided to review the site in the process.
ShirtsMyWay.com is not the first site to offer custom designed shirts, but it is certainly very innovative. The custom design process was straight forward, simple and easy to follow.
The first step is to pick your fabric. ShirtsMyWay.com provides you 86 different fabrics to choose from and if you don’t find one to suit you, well, you must be very hard to please :). One nifty thing here is that you can make the selection of your fabric on the whole shirt, or different parts of the shirt. So, if you are so inclined, you could have the main fabric of your shirt in “Night Fever” while the collar and the pockets are in “Island Lily”. Whatever makes you stand out!
Pick Your Fabric
Next step is to design the basic parts of your shirt. Frankly, there were so many options that it was hard for me to choose. You have multiple options for each part of your shirt: from the collar to the pocket. You could, if confused, just go with the standards which are automatically selected.
Shirts My Way - Design Options
Two handy tricks make this process simple. First, a summary of your shirt design is listed right next to your shirt, and second, the shirt itself changes as you change options.
If all this customization is not enough for you, then you can still get picky about the buttons, the button holes, EPAU loops, collar stays and monograms. This is in the next step called (very fittingly) “The Details”.
Finally, it is time to provide the measurements and this is where I believe ShirtsMyWay.com differs from the rest of the custom design industry. They offer three ways for you to give them the measurements – Body measurements, Shirt measurements and Standard sizes.
ShirtsMyWay - The Measurements
I picked Shirt Measurements because I already had a shirt that I liked and wanted to get it in another color. Voila! I brought that shirt out, measured it with very helpful hints from ShirtsMyWay.com and that was it!
