How a Valensia Moda custom shirt works, from the first appointment to the finished shirt

How does a custom shirt work at Valensia? In four steps, all in our showroom in Capriano del Colle, in the province of Brescia: you choose the fabric, try the sample shirt, we take your measurements directly on the body and you define the personalization details. The shirt is ready within 10 to 15 working days from the first appointment.

The four steps of the Valensia custom shirt

1. The fabric, chosen with our help

It starts with the fabric, because it is the choice that guides all the others. At the first appointment we show you the Valensia selection and help you choose. To understand how a fabric behaves in the finished cut, you can read the real case of our cotton twill shirt with semi-spread collar, told in the article "Custom shirt in cotton twill".

2. Trying the sample shirt

After the fabric comes the sample fitting. You wear a ready-made sample shirt, which lets you feel how a shirt falls, how it sits across the shoulders and how long it is. It is the starting point for deciding the fit together, roomier or closer, based on what you feel on your body.

3. Measurements taken on the body

On that basis we take your measurements directly on the body, with the tape measure on you. We measure shoulders, chest, waist, hips, bicep, wrist, neck and shirt length. The fit has already been defined with the sample, so there is no need to come back for a fitting.

4. Personalization

The last step is the details that make the shirt yours: the collar, the cuffs, the embroidered initials and the genuine mother-of-pearl buttons. We close the appointment by filling in the technical sheet together, which holds all the choices and measurements of your shirt.

How long a custom shirt takes

A Valensia custom shirt is ready within 10 to 15 working days from the first appointment. The count starts on the day you choose the fabric and we take your measurements, because everything is decided in that meeting: there are no intermediate appointments to schedule.

Frequently asked questions about the custom shirt

Is a fitting needed after the appointment?

No. The fitting takes place during the first appointment, with the sample shirt, and the measurements are taken right after, on the body. This way you do not have to come back for a fitting.

What is the difference between a custom shirt and a standard-size shirt?

A standard-size shirt follows average proportions: collar, shoulders, chest and length change together, size after size. A custom shirt instead starts from your measurements, so collar, shoulders, sleeves and length adapt to your body and to the fit you have chosen.

Which personalizations can be chosen?

You can choose the collar, the cuffs, the embroidered initials and the genuine mother-of-pearl buttons.
