Please take your time looking through our assortment of shirt fabrics and styles.
Note the exquisite quality of Hemrajani Brothers custom shirts and custom dress
shirts. Each season, the great shirting mills of England, Italy, Switzerland and
Japan reserve exclusively for us a rich assortment of high count cottons, all in
rich, luxurious shades. We specialize in two-ply cottons, the standard in European
cotton fabrics, for their luxurious benefits to the wearer. These cottons are without
compromise - typically two ply in the warp and two ply in the weft, which makes
them feel better, look better, and last longer than other yarns. For finishing flair,
our single needle French seams create a smooth, high-quality appearance and soft
feel.
Personal tailoring and made to measure comfort are Hemrajani Brothers specialties.
Our custom dress shirts offer 15 collar styles, 4 pocket styles, and 5 cuff styles
to choose from. Try one shirt and you will immediately see and feel the difference.
MyTailor.com creates and delivers excellence in custom shirts.

When considering men's slacks, there is no right or wrong about anything. MyTailor
recommends relying on your personal preferences and intuitions rather than trying
to conform to the dictates of fashion. You can start by choosing from three front
styles that dominate men's slacks today: plain, pleated and plain Western.
Plain front slacks have no pleats and may be worn with blazers
or more casual attire. The plain front is a trendy look with clean lines and a slimming
effect.
Pleated front is the standard for men's slacks. Pleats are vertical
folds that were originally invented to give men a more comfortable fit when seated.
Working like an accordion, pleats open comfortably when a man sits down or takes
a stroll. Pleats revert to a handsome closed position when a man stands up. By the
way, pleats should never appear open when standing. If they do, the slacks are too
small and it's time to order new custom slacks.
Turned in or turned out Pleats are defined based on the direction
that the pleat points. "Turned out" pleats, also known as the Italian style, point
outwards towards the pockets. "Turned in" refers to pleats that point towards the
crotch, and are also known as reverse or English pleats. You may prefer interesting
variations such as box pleats (one pleat turned in and one turned out) or scissor
pleats (one turned in and one turned out at the same location). Again, it's all
a matter of style and preference. The beautiful thing about custom tailoring is
that you can go as traditional or trendy as you like on every detail! Pleats come
in single, double, triple or quadruple arrangements (per leg). The number of pleats
is a matter of personal choice. Most men today choose one of two pleats for a look
that classic, comfortable and great for business.
Western plain front is a popular variation of the plain front that
features curved pockets up near the waist. Western doesn't imply stagecoaches and
rifles. It has become a popular fashion direction for casual slacks that is now
seen in New York, San Francisco, London, Paris, Hong Kong.

Men's slacks are sewed together to form seams. Pockets placed at the side seams
are called seam pockets. Depending on the direction of the seam, these pockets may
be "slanted seam" (curved and angling forward) or "side seam" (vertical).
Another popular variation that is quite distinctive is the "offset welt" pocket.
A welt is a thin strip of material that forms a band across the top of the pocket.
Offset means the pocket is place away from the pant seam, for a slightly more prominent
appearance.

MyTailor gives you several back pocket options to match your personal preferences.
The two pockets with button hole and button is the recommended classic style. If
you like a really clean look on the backside, "no pockets" should fit your style.
This choice is smart, contemporary and no nonsense.
You may like the more traditional single pocket approach. This option accommodates
a wallet and is a hallmark of refined attire. We can create your pocket on the left
or the right, secured with a button either way.
For more casual slacks, you might prefer pockets with flaps. Some men like the button
hidden under the flap for a clean and slightly dressy look. Others go more casual,
with a buttonhole on the flap and the button holding it in place.

If you've been accustomed to purchasing slacks off the rack, you've had no choice
about belt loops or beltless styles. Here at MyTailor.com, you can have your slacks
custom tailored just the way you like. You can choose a waistband that buttons or
buckles to create a snug and classic fit. Or, if you like the idea of a handsome
belt for style and flexibility, you may prefer traditional loops or the larger and
more stylized Western loops.
One note of caution regarding beltless slacks: They are great for men with a slim
or well-defined middle torso. However, if a man is carrying extra pounds in this
area, better to choose belted slacks as they provide greater flexibility around
the waist.

The lining is one of the hallmarks of a fine pair of men's slacks. Especially popular
with wool slacks, the lining extends all the way from the inner waist down to the
cuff to create supreme comfort and a smooth outer appearance.
Practical as well, the lining absorbs perspiration and therefore protects the pants
to provide longer wear. You will be glad you had all your winter slacks lined. The
extra inner layer will reward you with soft, insulating warmth during colder months.
Front lining is the most popular, offering classic style and comfort.
Working well for men of average or slimmer build, the front lining provides soft
comfort down the length of the slacks.
Full lining is great for men who may be allergic to wool but still
want to enjoy the unmatched qualities of wool fabrics. Men with slightly fuller
legs may also prefer a full lining, as it provides 360-degree comfort and smooth
dimensions from waist to cuff.

Some clothiers hem and haw about cuffs. The choice is really yours, and both styles
have a place in your wardrobe.
Cuffs are turned up bottoms of slacks seen on most men's slacks worn today. They
were introduced about 150 years ago as an alternative to rolling up pants at the
bottom to keep them out of dirt and water. The English sometimes call them "turn
ups" .
Except for tuxedos, dinner jackets and morning coats, cuffs are the order of the
day for men's slacks. They give you a more finished and business like appearance,
while adding weight to slack legs to help them hang neatly from your waist. Cuffs
should break slightly over the shoes, leaving 1/3 of the shoe visible at the front.
Cuffless (hemmed) are also quite popular and are broadly accepted in men's attire.
Many of the more casual styles of today work famously without cuffs. The rough,
unfinished bottom is also trendy, giving the appearance of a slightly worn, relaxed
bottom.
Cuff sizes general range from 1 3/8" to 1 3/4", with the average
man doing well in cuffs of 1 1/2". Shorter cuffs look great for men who are not
so tall, while the larger cuffs balance the overall dimensions of taller men.
