Where are our shirts made?

We have our own production facility in Hanoi, Vietnam where our team of skilled tailors hand-make each and every shirt. 

How sustainable is our product?

At ShirtbyHand we constantly strive to be sustainable. All of our fabric suppliers have to comply with strict rules in their production processes. Any chemicals and other liquids used to process our fabrics have to be reused and not discarded as waste. Our supplier has been working with a small number of cotton producers whom they inspect regularly to ensure the production is fair and the workers are well-treated. 

What are the working conditions in our factory?

The ShirtbyHand Production Company employs 60 staff in excellent working conditions (air-conditioning, new machines, and light, spacious rooms). Our colleagues have a 45-hour working week, get paid for overtime and our youngest tailor is 19 years old. Their salary is 20% higher than the industry standard. Due to the excellent working conditions and competitive salaries, we are able to retain the best people in the region. Customers visiting Hanoi are more than welcome to visit us, to see why we are so proud of the team that makes the shirts our customers love so much.

Where are we based?

ShirtbyHand is based in the Netherlands and from here, we contact our customers, process the orders and manage our tailors in Vietnam.

What is the difference between the weaves?

Using only the most comfortable materials, our shirts are made of 100% cotton with a two-ply weave, resulting in more durability. Continuously sourcing and testing new fabrics, we guarantee top quality at all times.

• Plain Weave: This fabric has little to no structure, hence it feels very light and smooth.
• (Royal) Oxford: This classic weave is known for its fine basket-weave structure and luxurious look.
• (Fine) Twill weave: The fabric is known for its diagonal weave and soft sheen.
• Pima Cotton: Due to its extra-long fibres – produced in the United States – Pima cotton is not only very lightweight and soft but also very durable. Next to that, the subtle sheen of the fabric conveys a feeling of luxury.
• Denim: A heavier weave with a genuine denim look and feel.
• Linen: The two threads that run separately from each other give the recognisable airy linen structure.
• Premium: There are moments that demand a little extra. ShirtbyHand Premium is just that: a shirt with a sense of luxury and a golden touch. For our Premium shirts, the fabric is woven with a longer and finer cotton thread. Hence the fabrics have a softer, silkier touch.

Are all our fabrics easy to iron?

All of our fabrics have an easy-iron finish which reduces creasing and shortens ironing time. They are designed for heavy use so they can be washed many times with no harm to the fabric. You want your shirts to make you look and feel great all day and our luxury finish ensures just that.

Where do we ship to?

We ship worldwide.

Are there any shipping costs? 

We do ask for shipping costs for orders that needs to ship to Singapore. Same for the rest of the world, we do charge shipping costs (amount is dependent on the country).

How does our Algorithm work?

We have created an algorithm that uses real measurements from 30,000 different body types in our database. Through 4 questions we should be able to determine your sizes with near-perfect accuracy. If you're not completely satisfied with the fit, we will make you a new one free of charge.

What is the difference between the types of personal fit?

• The Fitted model is the most tailored and fitted shirt we offer. 
• Semi-Fitted shirts are slightly less fitted hence we will add a bigger margin to your sizes. This way the shirt will have a looser fit.
• Normal; not fitted and is wider. Every size will be increased for a more comfortable and loose fit.

Are my sizes stored and how do I re-order? 

Once you have placed an order with us, your sizes are stored in our system, in your personal account. You can re-order on the same sizes or tweak your sizes before ordering again.
