UNTUCKit vs Indochino: which dress shirt is actually worth it?

Side by side on the specifications that decide how a shirt looks after a year: the collar interlining, how the size is arrived at, the cloth, and the price each brand actually advertises rather than the one on the ticket.

Indochino delivers more shirt per dollar than UNTUCKit

Indochino scores 73/100 on specification per dollar against 0/100 for UNTUCKit. The score weighs two things a shirt is actually judged on after a year: the collar interlining and how the size is arrived at. UNTUCKit does not publish its collar interlining, so there is nothing there to check. Price is the lowest per-shirt figure each brand advertises itself, not a list price neither of them expects you to pay.

ClothThe copy stays generic — premium, high-quality fabrics and 100% cotton you can wash, dry and wear. No weave name, weight, ply or yarn count is published. The wrinkle-free line is framed as resisting creasing rather than as a graded non-iron finish.12Named cloths across the premium shirt line include an anti-wrinkle weave, oxford, basketweave, cotton stretch, flannel stretch, corduroy, cotton-linen, herringbone, dobby and brushed melange, with the marketing describing fine cotton and premium poplin. Ply and yarn count are not published, and the anti-wrinkle line carries no treatment chemistry or non-iron grading.6
Published constructionNothing is published. No interlining, stitch density, single-needle seam, split yoke, gusset or button material appears on the collection or shirt pages; the brand specifies silhouette and length instead of construction.21Nothing is published. No interlining type, no single-needle claim, no stitch density, no split yoke, no button material, no gusset and no collar-stay statement — the page offers fabrics and linings in place of construction.6

What a made-to-measure shirt costs from the workshop

We are not on this page to sell you a third option you did not ask for, so here are the numbers to compare against the table above. A shirt cut to your own measurements in our Hoi An workshop is $39–$59 garment-only, depending on the cloth, with shipping quoted separately. There is no size to pick and no fit name to guess between: the pattern is drafted from your measurements.

Neither UNTUCKit nor Indochino is a bad shirt at its price. The question this page exists to answer is what each one publishes about how it is built — and that is in the table, with the sources. See how the measurements are taken.

“Being a short and stocky person, I could never truly get clothing that fitted properly. "Off the rack" was never an option... As I opened the small box, I got nervous and wondered if I made a big mistake and basically gambled away a fair amount of money. I ordered a 3 piece suit, 2 shirts and had a pair of leather dress shoes. Everything fitted nicely... the shirts were absolutely PERFECT.”

“WOW! Ordered a suit online with Linda. She contacted me by video call to go through the measuring process and once confirmed measurements again, around 4 weeks later a made to measure suit arrived in the UK. Fitted perfectly and I didn't even visit! Fantastic quality and customer service from Linda. Would definitely recommend!”

“Exceptional experience from start to finish. I ordered a fully custom two-piece double-breasted suit remotely from France, Linda and Jennifer guided me through every step with patience and professionalism. The suit arrived in under 3 weeks and the result is flawless: fabric, cut, lining, silhouette, everything is perfect. Nathan Tailors delivered exactly the vision I had in mind. I will absolutely be ordering again. Highly recommended.”

“This was my first time buying suits online so I was a bit apprehensive. However, the online order form was both easy to use and very thorough, and they did a video call with me to make sure of a couple of measurements that were out of the normal range. Two suits and a shirt arrived here in New Zealand in less than two weeks, are well-made, and fit perfectly. I'm thrilled with the service.”
