Nothing quite like that perfectly fitted shirt
I've shopped at Hockerty two times now and I absolutely would not hesitate to buy from them again. I've purchased a 3-piece suit and 4 shirts. I'm really pleased with the quality of all the items, and the fit is great. The handy measurement guides and videos means it's difficult to get the measuring process wrong. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Hockerty for anyone who, like me, finds it difficult to find well fitted clothes on the high street and wants an affordable made-to-measure service.

What is the difference between a button-up shirt and a button-down shirt?
The terms "button-up" and "button-down" are often used interchangeably, but there is a subtle difference. A button-down shirt has buttons on the collar points that fasten to the shirt, keeping the collar in place. A button-up shirt simply refers to any shirt that buttons up the front, without necessarily having a button-down collar. At Hockerty, you can design both styles to suit your preferences.
+
How do you style a loose button-down shirt?
Styling a loose button-down shirt can create a relaxed yet polished look. You can tuck it into tailored trousers or jeans for a casual yet put-together style. Roll up the sleeves for a laid-back vibe or layer it over a t-shirt for a more casual appearance. The key is to balance the loose fit with more fitted pieces to maintain a stylish silhouette.
