SECTION 01

1. Fabric Quality First: 100% 2-Ply Egyptian Cotton With Natural Non-Iron Finish

A dress shirt rests directly against your skin for 12 hours a day — yarn quality and weave density make all the difference.

At Custom Cartel, our shirts are crafted from 100% long-staple 2-ply cotton. '2-ply' means two single yarns are twisted together before weaving, creating superior durability at the collar and cuffs, a silky handfeel, and full opacity on white shirts.

Our signature White Twill Non-Iron and Light Blue Twill Non-Iron weaves feature a natural Non-Iron finish with 0% synthetic polyester. The fabric breathes naturally while using your body heat to release creases throughout the day — and dries smooth on a hanger after a gentle 30–40°C wash.

While off-the-rack 2-ply non-iron shirts typically retail for 999–1,399 DKK in Denmark, every fully made-to-measure Custom Shirt at Custom Cartel is 899 DKK.

KEY TAILORING DETAILS
  • 100% 2-Ply Cotton: Two-fold yarn construction for rich opacity, drape, and longevity.
  • Natural Non-Iron Performance: Breathable 100% cotton that stays crisp from morning briefings to dinner.
  • Flat 899 DKK Pricing: Includes full measurement customization, collar/cuff choice, and monogramming.
