The world's finest fabrics for your shirt
We mainly use Egyptian cotton, known for its exceptional durability and softness. Our principal partners are Albini and Thomas Mason. We also work with Söktas, Caccioppoli, Reda, Loro Piana and Ermenegildo Zegna.
Albini: Oxford & poplin
Italy's leading shirt manufacturer since 1876. Classic Oxford fabrics and fine poplins in countless colors and patterns.
Albini: Stretch Cotton
Contemporary stretch fabrics combine freedom of movement with a refined appearance: Albini's answer to an active day.
Thomas Mason
Since 1796: exceptionally fine two-ply cotton in distinctive British colors and bold patterns.
Albini: Italian shirting since 1876
The Albini Group is Europe's leading producer of exclusive shirting fabrics. Founded in Bergamo in 1876, Albini still weaves in Lombardy, drawing on five generations of expertise.
Oxford, poplin, voile and stretch cotton, all woven from Egyptian long-staple cotton.

Thomas Mason: since 1796
Founded in Lancashire in 1796 and now part of the Albini Group, Thomas Mason is known for distinctive colors, bold patterns and the finest yarn counts.
Two-ply yarns give these fabrics a smooth surface and subtle sheen. Wide stripes, houndstooth and fine checks in a rich color palette are characteristic.

Not all cotton is the same
The quality of a made-to-measure shirt begins with the fiber, before weaving starts. Its length, fineness and consistency determine how soft, lustrous and durable the finished fabric will be.
Sea Island Cotton
Grown on Antigua, Jamaica and Barbados. Annual global yield: just 90–160 bales, or 0.006% of world production.
Giza 45
The “queen of cotton.” Just 90 bales worldwide each year. A fiber diameter of 2.95 micrometers: almost too fine to measure, but you can feel it.
Egyptian cotton
Grown in the Nile Delta and picked by hand. Long fibers make it easier to spin, strengthen the yarn and reduce creasing.
Supima
American long-staple cotton, 93% of it from California's San Joaquin Valley. With twice the fiber diameter, it is ideal for white shirts.
Details for comfort
Every Christian Weilert made-to-measure shirt has details you can feel, setting it apart from off-the-rack shirts.
- Offset underarm seamAdds comfort and freedom of movement, particularly when you raise your arms. It prevents rubbing and makes the shirt noticeably more comfortable.
- Shirt gussetReinforces the vulnerable side seams and prevents tearing, helping your shirt keep its shape through many washes.
- Our signature convertible cuffWear our signature cuff buttoned or with cufflinks. One cuff, two looks.
- Mother-of-pearl buttonsWe use only genuine mother-of-pearl buttons: refined, durable and an unmistakable sign of quality craftsmanship.
