Hamilton is America’s longest standing bespoke shirtmaker and Houston’s oldest family-owned business. Our lasting power is a testament to the Hamilton way. Each shirt is hand-cut and sewn in our workshop where we rely on over a century of expertise, world-class materials, and a timeless aesthetic. We’ve always made shirts this way and we always will.
It’s our family history, passed down through four generations of Hamilton.
History favors the bold. In a world rapidly changing, sometimes the most daring course of action is steadfastness and an understanding of what is enduring. Intimate conversations with the past open up unexpected dialogues with the future.
In every decade since 1883, Hamilton has charted a course with a firm foothold in our heritage while looking continually forward. Hamilton has held on to a way of doing things that is not so much focused on what is here today and so often gone tomorrow. In our own workshop we still carefully measure, cut patterns by hand, select only the finest fabrics, finish those with painstaking detail, and deliver the finest shirts made to devotees around the world. All of this, under the watchful eyes of the Hamilton family. There is only one Hamilton experience. It remains unchanged. Because of this, statesmen, captains of industry, artists and musicians, and generations of family have returned again and again to this bold commitment to quality above all else. When everything else is changing, the consistent is what is most remarkable.
Hamilton continues in this way today. Like the perfect white shirt, this tradition shifts thoughtfully to suit modern sensibilities while always elevating the style and character of its wearer. These things aren’t broken. They are in no need of fixing.
Jim Hamilton has often reminded, ‘Hold on to history.’ It is also true that history is a blank page waiting to be written. So, with infinite bespoke possibilities, Hamilton continues to write history while always looking ahead to the next generation.
