CYC The Custom Shop: Tailored duds

It's your choice: Buy a button-down shirt made for the masses so the fit on your oh-so-svelte bod is, eh, so-so, or drop a cool hundy at CYC The Custom Shop and have it fit like a glove. With an impressive clientele that includes dignitaries like Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew, CYC The Custom Shop designs shirts, pants and jackets with absolute precision so you can confidently swagger into tomorrow's presentation.

Established in 1935 by Chiang Yick Ching, a shirt-maker from Shanghai, this fashion institution relies on highly-skilled workmanship and attention to detail -- all must-haves when you're slamming down serious cash for a seriously well-tailored suit.

If you want to get serious about your customization, CYC The Custom Shop will let you choose from their choice fabrics from Europe and Japan, or you can choose from their made-to-measure collections both in the store and online. Shirts -- what CYC The Custom Shop is famous for -- start at $88 and go steeply up from there, and are ready in anywhere from three days to two weeks.
