With custom clothing becoming more and more prevalent online, there are a surprising amount of companies now offering not just custom tailoring, but custom casual items as well, all the way down the humble tee shirt. We can, perhaps, cover some of these brands another time, but today I would like to draw your attention to StringKing. They are actually a lacrosse brand (and pivoted to making lots of masks during early Covid), but they also have a truly phenomenal custom apparel section of their business. And that, of course, is why we’re here.
You can get tees or polos, with and without pockets, and in either long or short sleeve. And they also do great hoodies as well. You select a couple fit preferences, enter in some super basic sizing info, and they ship you a custom made shirt that arrives in about 2 weeks or so, which is, again, surprisingly quick. Surprising is a theme with this brand, get it?
Most surprising of all is just how good these garments are. They are light and stretchy and super comfortable. And the fit is impeccable. Right out the gate my first tee from them was one of the best fitting tees I have owned. And they send you a Fit Feedback quiz after each product arrives so your fit will continue to improve with each future order. And perhaps just as surprising is the price - super affordable, and not much more than what a standard tee would cost somewhere like Uniqlo.
Here is to hoping they release some more color and fabric options in the future. If you’re in the market for such apparel, check them out.
