<\/figure><\/div>\n\nTo\nMr. Courtot, his profession was a vocation, to be discovered near a\nfather whose life was his measuring shop. This one transmitted to him all his\nknowledge, all its requirement in the desire to be at the height of the generations\nbut above all to embody it in the respect of the customer so much by the\nquality of the work as well as by the very affordable prices for the details and\nfinishes so rare today, and so far from a ready-made\nshirt. <\/p>\n\n
A technical and personal achievement<\/h4>\n\n
A\npiece of measurement is a technical realization but especially personal in its\noutcome. This is reflected in every stitch, in every thread and in\nthe special aura that surrounds the final creation. Here everything is possible.\nEverything is done at the customer’s request: this is one of the great\ncharacteristics in relation to the garment. <\/p>\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\nAt\nthe beginning, the client starts with a blank page. Everything is created for him. It all begins\nby taking measurements (about ten). This one is an art because it must\nto be both extremely precise and experienced. It\nis necessary to understand instinctively what the client’s “reach” should be, near or far.\naway from the body according to its desiderata but also to its morphology. Usually\nthere is one fitting but if two or three are needed they will be done.\nThis is the basis for the design of the pattern, so essential for the\nas well as for future creations. Then comes the fitting stage,\nin the chosen fabric. A draft is made. This one is then decoupled\nthen reworked according to the modifications and retouches made. The\nfinal seams, different from the first stitch which had to be easy\nare made in the same place so as not to leave any trace. We\ncan therefore redo everything, take it all back for an absolute perfection. <\/p>\n\n
A concern for economy and ecology<\/h4>\n\n
It is thanks to this know-how that the company offers the possibility of\nchange worn collars and cuffs on shirts and any other parts\nof this one. This makes it possible to considerably lengthen one’s life and may interest\nsome customers concerned about economy and ecology. Once\nthe customer takes possession of his shirt, the pattern is validated and kept\npreciously. It can be modified according to the evolutions of the life and\na possible gain or loss of weight. <\/p>\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\nLike\nin all the realizations in true measure, the finishes make all the\ndifference. All parts are assembled with a folded seam at\nEnglish style are completely different from the edge-to-edge type of clothing. There is\na lining in the collar and cuffs with a canvas “measure”, a\nspecific interlining that is not glued as in the ready to wear with its appearance\nof cardboard, but which in this case is simply placed between the parts of the\nfolder. Which also enhances the fabric. <\/p>\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\nMany\nother details like these pieces sewn into the bottom of the shirt at the level\nseams are present to prevent tearing. On the collar, a chevron\nof cotton is placed to hold the tie inside. The buttons are sewn\nby hand: There are several kinds, different colors of\npearlescent, and the stitching can also be chosen (2 holes, 4 holes). Finally,\nall buttonholes can be done by hand if the customer wishes\ndesire. <\/p>\n\n
Choose the material<\/h4>\n\n
The great\npleasure is also to be able to choose your material. This makes a beautiful fabric,\nis its type of yarn, like the Egyptian yarn known for its rather long fiber\nand excellent resistance. Then comes the frame which is associated with a number.\nThe higher the number (which means the number of threads per cm\u00b2), the more\nthe weaving is tight and therefore the quality is good (the average is at 120, the beautiful at 140,\nthe very beautiful at 170 and the exceptional at 200). The different countries of origin have\ntheir importance: if in recent years the quality of English fabrics has\nstagnated, the Swiss rigor or the Italian fantasy know how to express themselves with\nvery beautiful materials. The house knows how to preserve the great classics and\nis committed to renewing these proposals twice a year. Boxer shorts or\npyjamas can also be made with the same refinement. <\/p>\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\nFour\na five hours are necessary to realize a shirt in measure for a price\nof 270 euros for an Oxford and 310 euros for the majority of the\nfabrics (which is not much more and often much cheaper than many\ntrendy ready-to-wear clothes or false measurements). Courot is part of\nthese five or six houses of this standing that the Capital counts.<\/p>\n\n
