You will find all our off the rail shirts come with the option of Classic or Slim Fit. We also offer a made to measure service where a tailor fit shirt is crafted from a personal fitting experience.

Classic Fit

If you are looking for an eternally stylish fit with immeasurable comfort then the Classic Fit is for you... 

 

Emmett London Classic Shirt

 Our classic fit is instantly recognizable for its timeless shape which harks back to the traditional silhouette of the classic gentleman from generations past. Generously cut in the arms and sleeves, the classic fit shirt provides an extremely comfortable fit. Plenty of movement is provided by the boxy shape and complemented by the addition of back pleats located at the base of the yoke. Slightly longer shirt tails ensure the shirt tucks in easily and stay put. 

 

Slim Fit

If you want a sleek shirt to complete your modern and polished look then it’s time to look at the Slim Fit….

 Less fabric is used in the craft of our slim fit shirt to provide a sharp silhouette and flattering fit. 

A slimmer cut throughout the shirt and waist provides a closer fit overall to slim the physique in a relaxed way. High armholes, narrow yoke and tapered waist and sleeves streamline the shape of the body with darts at the waist for a more tailored fit. Further customisation is granted by the option to wear this fit either tucked or untucked courtesy of the level shirt tails front and back.
