HAMILTON - THE ART OF CUSTOM SHIRTING
The Threadwize group is a group of stores nationwide, featuring some of the best specialty clothing boutiques in the country - a group that we are proud to be a part of. Recently, representatives from all the Threadwize stores visited the Hamilton shirt factory in Houston, Texas to learn more about the Hamilton custom process, as part of their yearly get-together. Dick Pattison from Taylor, Richards and Conger in Charlotte, NC sent us these photos - fascinating aren't they!?
Hamilton Shirts is a multi-generational company which has been in the Hamilton family since 1883. David Hamilton only buys the best Swiss and Italian fabrics for his family's shirts - we wouldn't have it any other way!
Thousands of paper patterns are stored in this library - individualized patterns used to cut exacting garments. Even if changes are made to a finished pattern on a shirt, your pattern is archived here forever!
Thousands of some of the best Swiss and Italian fabrics are available in the Hamilton shirting line-up. With contrasting placket, collar, and cuff options, the possibilities are endless.
Come see us at Butch Blum to learn more about Hamilton custom shirting - one of our favorite garments and soon to be one of yours!
