Unstitched Shirt Fabric
What is unstitched shirt fabric?
Unstitched shirt fabric (a "shirt piece") is a cut of fabric sized for tailoring one shirt, which you then stitch to your own measurements. It's the choice for individual buyers and home tailors who want quality cloth and a custom fit rather than a ready-made shirt. For fabric education, see our cotton shirting guide.
