Create a beautifully tailored shirt with the Mayfair Tailored Shirt Kit—a carefully curated collection of premium components designed for a refined, professional finish.

At the heart of this kit is an exceptional Italian designer shirting fabric (ex Paul Smith), with a silky-smooth handle and elegant drape. The deep navy background is detailed with an understated geometric micro-pattern—tiny white pinhead dots arranged in delicate squares—creating a subtle, sophisticated look suitable for both men’s and women’s shirts.

Every element in this kit has been selected for quality and compatibility, from the woven cotton interfacing to the heritage buttons and premium threads. This is not just a sewing kit—it’s a complete luxury shirtmaking experience.

With a contents value of £125, this limited release is offered at just £99.

Before You Begin (Recommended Preparation)

Fabric
This is high-quality, mill-finished cotton and can be used without pre-washing.
However, if you intend to launder the finished garment, pre-washing is recommended to allow for natural shrinkage.

Interfacing (G700)
As a 100% cotton woven interfacing, slight shrinkage may occur.

• Soak in warm water
• Gently squeeze (do not wring)
• Lay flat to dry (ideally overnight)
• Lightly press before use
