A tailored shirt is a unique piece of clothing, made to measure by an expert tailor.
Unlike mass-produced shirts, a tailored shirt is designed to perfectly fit the wearer's individual measurements and preferences. This artisanal process ensures an impeccable fit and attention to detail rarely found in off-the-shelf shirts. Virum embodies the tradition of Neapolitan tailoring, combining the art of tailoring with a modern, personalized touch. Each shirt is designed to perfectly fit the wearer's measurements and preferences, ensuring an impeccable fit and quality that industrial shirts cannot match.
A Brief History of the Tailored Shirt
The Neapolitan tailoring tradition has deep roots, dating back to the 13th century. Since then, tailored clothing has been a symbol of elegance and social status. Today at Virum we continue this tradition, with shirts that not only respect ancient artisan techniques, but enrich them with modern innovations to satisfy the contemporary gentleman. Our Neapolitan tailors carry out the various steps by hand, including sewing the mother-of-pearl buttons and the refined embroidery of the buttonholes, ensuring that each shirt is a masterpiece of artisanal excellence.
Advantages of a tailored shirt
Perfect fit
One of the defining characteristics of a tailored shirt is its impeccable fit. Unlike industrial shirts, a bespoke shirt is made to fit your exact measurements. To create a tailored shirt, we take into account every detail, from the shoulders to the length of the sleeves, ensuring that the shirt not only fits you well, but flatters your figure. Our attention to size and fit eliminates any common flaws in off-the-rack shirts, providing unmatched comfort.

Quality fabrics
We use only the finest Italian fabrics, chosen for their durability, comfort and style. The quality of the materials is essential to ensure not only the aesthetics of the shirt, but also its longevity. The fine fabrics we use are breathable, comfortable on the skin and resistant to wear, ensuring that your shirt maintains its refined appearance even after many uses and washes.
Custom design
We offer our customers the possibility of customizing every detail, from buttons to collar, from buttonholes to cuffs. This customization allows you to create a shirt that reflects your personal style and adapts perfectly to your needs.
When to choose a tailored shirt
A tailored shirt is the perfect choice for a variety of situations. Whether you’re preparing an outfit for a formal event, an important meeting, or simply want to express your personal style on a daily basis, a tailored shirt offers a level of sophistication and professionalism that standard shirts simply can’t match. Investing in a tailored shirt means you’re investing in quality and longevity, ensuring you always look your best and feel comfortable no matter what the occasion.
How to choose the perfect tailored shirt
Fabric selection
The choice of fabric is essential to obtain a tailored shirt that is comfortable and durable. Virum offers a wide range of fine fabrics, strictly Italian, including cotton, linen, silk and innovative fabric blends. Each fabric has its own unique characteristics: cotton is ideal for everyday use thanks to its breathability and ease of maintenance, while linen is perfect for the summer months thanks to its lightness. Silk, with its natural shine, is an excellent choice for special occasions.
Choosing the color and pattern
The color and pattern of your tailored shirt can reflect your personality and adapt to different occasions. At Virum we offer a wide range of options, from classic white or light blue to bold colors like red or green. The right choice depends on how you will use it: neutral colors and simple patterns are perfect for formal wear, while brighter options can add a touch of originality to your casual look.
Essential measurements
To ensure the perfect fit, it is essential to take the correct measurements. Measurements include neck circumference, shoulder width, sleeve length, chest, waist and hips. Our expert tailors will guide you through each step, ensuring all measurements are accurate. This level of attention to detail is what sets a tailored shirt apart from others and ensures a garment that fits your shape perfectly.
The Role of the Tailored Shirt in Men's Clothing
Elegance and personal style

The precision of the stitching, the quality of the fabrics and the ability to customize every aspect of the design make each shirt unique.
