Why We Love It

A long-established factory brand from Okayama that overturns the common notion that "order shirts are expensive." With the technical capability to handle shirts for famous brands too, they'll tailor a single piece that perfectly fits your body type. The time spent choosing collar shape, buttons, and fabric is an adult's luxurious play. Once you know this fit, you can't go back to ready-made!

PROFILE About the Company / Workshop

Doi Hokosho's history begins with its start in 1952 as "Doi Hokosho," a sewing factory specializing in dress shirts. Since its founding, it has earned recognition as a factory entrusted with dress shirts for world-class brands and well-known domestic shops, and has now grown into one of Japan's leading shirt factories producing tens of thousands of shirts annually.

Leveraging the product planning capability cultivated through many years of OEM production and the vast accumulation of patterns based on Japanese body type data, the Made-in-Japan custom-order shirt brand "Doi Hokosho" was born from the desire to "deliver better shirts at more appropriate prices under our own name." Rather than being just a brand, a major characteristic is that it is a "brand where the factory comes to the front."

The brand concept is "to make Japanese business professionals stylish." While pursuing a presence that gives a good impression in business scenes, comfort even when worn for long hours, and sustainable manufacturing that considers the environment, the brand positions order shirts as the standard of the future.

Centered on the in-house factory in Tamano City, Okayama Prefecture, the Tokyo flagship showroom, and the online shop, Doi Hokosho is expanding the reach of order shirts in various ways — including offerings as hometown tax thank-you gifts and size guarantee / fabric sample services. Building on these 70 years, the brand continues to propose a new standard for Made-in-Japan order shirts, aiming to be a 100-year company.

A factory brand by a shirt-specialty factory founded in 1952

Do One Sewing Co., Ltd., the parent of Doi Hokosho, was founded in 1952 as a sewing factory specializing in dress shirts. It has a track record of handling order shirts and high-end ready-made shirts for world-class brands and well-known domestic shops for many years. "Doi Hokosho" is the in-house brand that leverages that technique and know-how. A major characteristic is the sewing quality and cost performance that only a factory brand can achieve.
