Now This Is How You Wear A Blue Shirt
Button Downs - Here To Stay
I am not a fan of button down collars myself but some people absolutely love them! Anyway, here is an example of a made-to-measure herringbone shirt we made recently for a client. Notice the gingham contrast we did. It's not for everybody, but it certainly draws your eye to the shirt. Button downs are not as common here in Australia as they are in the USA. It seems that a lot of button downs over there are very conservative East Coast kinds of buttons downs.

A Short History Of The Shirt Shop Of Sydney, Australia
A Short History Of The Shirt Shop
The Shirt Shop was one of Sydney’s most famous shirting institutions which sadly closed its doors this year. Started by Mr. Chris Melhem in the early 1970’s, the business started life in the Strand Arcade. From there, the shop was relocated to the corner of King and George which was once the home of American Express. Mr. Melhem then merged the business with another on Castlereagh Street before finally moving to it’s final home on Elizabeth Street.
The business was then sold to Mr. Trevor Cohen who operated the store for three years until closing the doors in 2011. In its time, The Shirt Shop was responsible for making shirts for many of Sydney’s A-list. Businessmen, lawyers, politicians, television celebrities and even some of Hollywood’s A-List got their shirts from The Shirt Shop.
Lebanese born and trained Mr. Melhem was known for his traditional tailored shirts in which all measurements were kept on paper. It was with great sadness that the The Shirt Shop closed its doors in 2011 but it is with great joy that the archive and stock of fabric came into the hands of his nephew, who continues to make bespoke shirts under the mark Studio Shirts.

This shirt we made for a very exclusive brand that sells very fine cotton shirts to their customers. Unfortunately, we cannot tell you the name of the brand but we are very proud to work with them. They have a fine eye for detail.
