Individualized Shirts was formed in 1961. The concept was then, as it is today, to provide custom made shirts at a price point competitive with better ready made shirts. Based in Perth Amboy, New Jersey, they employ a huge amount of people from the surrounding area, train them extensively & thus put out a quality product. Held in very high regard by the Japanese market for many years, Individualized were recently presented with a commemorative book about themselves as a mark of respect.

Following our factory visit back in March 2009 we recently received our first pieces – some classic oxford shirts with band collars, in a contemporary slim fit.
Still to come are some check & gingham shirts with button down collars.

Finally a restock of the Utility Canvas bucket totes in natural as well as two new colorways, black & olive. Really simple, hard wearing, everyday bags that will soften over time.

The Hill-Side take a tough, working man’s approach to neckwear, Their ties & handkerchiefs are not fancy or fragile, they are not merely decorative, nor are they status symbols, but are meant to be worn hard, every day, and thus gain character with each use. Using materials that are not commonly associated with neckwear : selvedge chambray, left hand twill & waxed cotton.

We have an array of both ties & handkerchiefs on the website
