For the past few months, A.W. Bauer has been discreetly working to improve the accessibility of its craftsmanship by allowing clients, already measured in our Atelier, to create new garments remotely, no matter where they are in the world. This option has been so successful that we have decided to enhance the system and make it available to anyone who has their measurements.
The project began when more of the bespoke shirts we were creating started being sent abroad or even made entirely from a distance. Long-time clients and regulars had developed such trust in our advice that they often left the choice of fabric to us, based on their needs. Most newcomers actually choose a fabric after we've narrowed down the selection to a precise range of relevant options. Theses experiences made a potential remote process more relevant and after testing this approach successfully several times, we were able to propose this option more and more, in specific circumstances.
Based on our successful experiences and confidence in providing the same excellent service from a distance, our intention to expend this option to anyone bascially means that any client unable to visit the Atelier can now initiate an order remotely and have it delivered directly to their home, even outside of Sweden.
The system is a refined process that requires no physical presence and has been tested internally over the past six months under the direct supervision of Frederik Andersen. Just like for clients who visit the Atelier, all our remotely made garments are handmade and include a personalized fitting review, regardless of where in the world they are.
Worries and concerns to address
The uniqueness of our system, especially for Europe, might raise some concerns and worries. We want to address them right away to prevent any misconceptions from arising.
A.W. Bauer will not change the current functioning of its Atelier. This remote service is an addition, not a replacement. It will not affect any of the physical Atelier’s current services. This option is exclusively for those living abroad who are interested in our craft but unable to travel to Stockholm.
Remote bespoke shirt making is possible while maintaining the quality and fit of a bespoke garment due to the simpler nature of shirts and our well-refined process, always overseen by our in-house tailors, or even Frederik himself, guiding you through the creation process, particularly via video calls.
No other garments can be created remotely.
A.W. Bauer has no intention of transitioning to a MTM shirt-making process.

After half a year of refining the procedure internally with some of our closest clients, we are now ready to open the doors for newcomers to experience the process themselves.
Another So-called 'Investment'?
This is the typical sentence you have read or heard a thousand times!
And we are not here to tell you something completely different: there is an investment. But not yours— This is our investment in you if you are new to us.
Creating a shirt remotely while maintaining the standards of bespoke shirt making requires far more attention and expertise on our part than the usual process. Because any failure or adjustment is on us.
any failure or adjustment is on us.
The Creation Process
When clicking on the "start creating" button, at the end of this page, you will be sent to the first step of the creation of your shirt. You will be directed to a three parts questionnaire where you are invited to fill up your personal information, your measurements (if it's your first time ordering from us) and wrap this by choosing your prefered date for a remote appointment. As soon as we receive your informations, you will be contacted back to confirm the date of your styling session. This appointment will be made through a zoom call (recommended) but a phone call is also possible. During this chat we make sure your measurements were rightly taken, discuss your style preferences and guide you to choose the garment features and fabric among all our availability.
​
It takes approximately up to 4 weeks to create and send your bespoke shirt.
We consider important to maintain our usual bespoke shirt creation process and, although the shirts we craft fit perfectly off the bat, this shirt is considered as a first approach to get your preferences right. Potential adjustments require wearing to be accurate. The aim is for you to live normally with your shirt. Wear it a few times and wash it at least once before considering an adjustment session, included in the initial price.
​
For this reason, your first shirt with us is our investment on you. Once we have created your master pattern based on it, the next garments will always be perfectly adjusted to you and ready for years of wear.
