CONSULTATION Emmett Handmade provides a unique consultancy service. The result: a shirt that is not only perfectly tailored to your shape, but also tailored to your personality, your style, your occupation. The made to measure process begins with a consultation — we initiate an ongoing dialogue with you. This starts the process of the shirt’s evolution.
