Hamilton Shirts is an American shirtmaker producing ready-to-wear, made-to-measure, and bespoke shirts.

History

[edit]

Founded in 1883, and now in its fourth generation of family ownership,[1] Hamilton is Houston's oldest family owned business.[citation needed]

Fabrics

[edit]

Some Hamilton fabrics are double-ply and derived from extra long staple cotton.[2] All shirts are made in Hamilton's workshop in Houston, Texas.

Hamilton shirts are sold at its Houston headquarters, online and through luxury retailers such as Barneys New York.[3]
