A monogram is one of the oldest marks of personal ownership in tailoring — a small detail that transforms a well-made garment into something unmistakably yours. Manhattan Tailors offers personalised monogramming on suits, shirts, jackets, and accessories as a standard option in every bespoke commission.
The most common placement for a shirt monogram is the left cuff, where it is visible when the jacket sleeve is worn. Other placements include the chest (above the breast pocket), the collar point, and the shirt placket. Thread colour can be matched to the shirt for a subtle tone-on-tone effect, or chosen as a contrast for a bolder statement. Lettering styles range from classic block to traditional script.
A monogram inside a bespoke jacket — typically embroidered on the lining at chest height — is a traditional mark of the garment being made for a specific individual. At Manhattan Tailors, we embroider client monograms in a range of thread colours and lettering styles on the jacket lining, waistcoat interior, or trouser waistband.
Standard monograms use two or three initials in a chosen order (typically first, last, middle — or first, middle, last). We also accommodate full names, dates (for wedding suits), and short text on request. Custom designs and family crests can be discussed during your consultation.
A personalised monogram makes a bespoke shirt or jacket a genuinely individual gift for weddings, significant birthdays, or corporate acknowledgements. Manhattan Tailors produces gift commissions regularly — the recipient's measurements can be taken separately and the garment made to their specifications. Contact us at +852 9773 2691 or info@hongkongmanhattantailors.com to discuss a monogrammed bespoke gift.
