L&S Custom Tailors · Bespoke Shirts · In-House
Cut Here. Sewn Here.
Worn Forever.
One of the only in-house shirtmakers in New York City.
Every shirt that leaves L&S is cut, sewn, and finished in our 61st Street atelier — not sent to a factory, not assembled overseas. Trung and his team build each shirt by hand, to a single pattern that exists for no one else. This is what bespoke means when it applies to a shirt.
Made In-House
Your shirt never leaves our atelier until it's finished. Cut, sewn, and pressed in the same workshop where your suits are built. No factory. No outsourcing. The same nine tailors, the same standard.
Your Pattern. Stored Permanently.
We take a full set of shirt measurements — collar, chest, sleeve pitch, cuff, back yoke. A pattern is drafted for your body. It lives in our archive. Every shirt we make for you begins from that foundation and gets sharper with each commission.
Led by a Master Shirtmaker
Trung leads L&S's shirt department with a singular focus: the finest custom shirt work in New York. His eye for collar construction, placket precision, and sleeve pitch is the reason this program exists. You will meet him at your first consultation.
Every Shirt. Every Detail. Yours.
One tier. Fully bespoke. No shortcuts.
The Foundation of Every Wardrobe
The shirt under the suit. Collar construction is everything — point, spread, cutaway, tab. French cuffs or barrel. Front placket, hidden placket, or fly front. Built to pair with your L&S suits or stand on their own.
POPLIN · TWILL · HERRINGBONE · OXFORD · PINPOINT
Weekend. Travel. Off-Duty.
Softer collars, relaxed fits, textured cloths. Linen for summer. Flannel for fall. The same bespoke construction — pattern from your body, sewn in our atelier — applied to shirts that live outside the suit.
LINEN · FLANNEL · CHAMBRAY · BRUSHED COTTON
Black Tie. Built Right.
The formal shirt is the most unforgiving garment in a man's wardrobe. Bib construction, pleated or plain front, marcella or piqué. Collar and cuff in exact proportion to your build. Built to be invisible — which is exactly what a great formal shirt should be.
MARCELLA · PIQUÉ · POPLIN · VOILE
Comfort Without Compromise.
Button-downs, camp collars, relaxed fits for weekends and travel. The same bespoke treatment — collar, sleeve pitch, body — applied to how you actually live. Fabrics that breathe, hold shape, and age well.

How a Shirt Gets Built
Step 1
Consultation with Trung
You sit with Trung. You discuss how you dress, where the shirt lives in your wardrobe, what's never fit right on you before. He looks at your collar, your shoulders, how your arms hang. He already has ideas before you finish talking.
45 MINUTES · IN-PERSON
Step 2
Measurement + Pattern Draft
A full set of shirt measurements: collar size and shape, chest, waist suppression, sleeve length, cuff width, back yoke, front chest drop. A pattern is drafted for your body and stored permanently in our archive.
COMPLETED BEFORE FIRST FITTING
Step 3
Cloth Selection
Trung guides you through our shirt fabric library — European cotton mills, Irish linen, fine Swiss poplin. You handle the cloth. You see it in light. You understand what you're choosing and why.
AS LONG AS YOU NEED
Step 4
Construction In-House
Your shirt is cut and sewn in our atelier. Collar construction, placket finishing, sleeve attachment, cuff work — every step done by hand in this room. No batch production. One shirt, one craftsman's full attention.
2–3 WEEKS
Step 5
Fitting + Delivery
You try it on. We check collar gap, shoulder seam position, chest ease, sleeve length at the wrist. Minor refinements are made same-day where possible. When it leaves, it's right.
30 MINUTES
The Cloth
We source shirting from the finest European mills. Every bolt chosen for hand feel, colour fastness, and how it performs after fifty washes.
Thomas Mason
England
The benchmark for fine dress shirting. Their 2-ply poplin and twill are used by the best shirtmakers in the world. Crisp, smooth, and improves with washing.
Albini Group
Italy
Italy's premier shirting mill. An extraordinary range — fine poplin, oxford, dobby, linen blends. The most versatile library in our atelier.
Canclini
Italy
Known for exceptional softness and colour depth. Their linen-cotton blends are the best we've found for casual and sport shirts.
Irish Linen
Ireland
For summer shirts and casual commissions. Pure linen sourced from the Irish tradition — breathable, structured, and only gets better with age.
Meet the Shirtmaker
Trung
Director of Shirts · L&S Custom Tailors
Trung leads L&S's in-house shirt program with a craftsman's precision and a quiet obsession with collar construction. He has spent years studying the mechanics of what makes a shirt fit — not just chest and sleeve, but the relationship between collar height and neck shape, the way a yoke sits on a particular set of shoulders, the exact cuff width that works for a man's wrist.
When you commission a shirt at L&S, you work with Trung directly. He takes your measurements, drafts your pattern, and oversees every stage of construction. This is not a department — it's one shirtmaker's full attention on your garment.
