CYC Custom Shirts: A Century of History, Serving Three Generations of Clients

[Singapore] — Since its founding in 1935, CYC Custom Shirts has accompanied generations of customers, building a rich legacy. This renowned Singapore tailoring brand is known for its exquisite craftsmanship and premium fabrics, serving numerous elites, entrepreneurs, and political figures, including Singapore's founding Prime Minister, Lee Kuan Yew. His shirts, still in excellent condition, stand as significant artifacts representing Singapore's history.

Recently, CYC called upon its customers to return old shirts for its brand museum. Mdm. Kwa Geok Choo, Lee Kuan Yew's wife, donated one of his CYC shirts that he had worn for 30 years, which is still in remarkably good condition. This not only showcases the durability of CYC’s shirts but also highlights the deep emotional bonds between the brand and its clients.

The current management team of CYC is now in its third generation. In many Singaporean families, CYC is more than a brand—it's a symbol of identity. Many customers have had ties with CYC since their grandparents’ time, and now, third-generation family members continue to have their shirts tailored by CYC, passing down elegance and tradition.

By combining innovation with traditional craftsmanship, CYC has found a balance between modern fashion and classic design. Even after decades, the brand stays true to its core values: exceptional craftsmanship, personalized tailoring services, and an unwavering commitment to quality. As CYC celebrates its 85th anniversary, it promises to continue offering the finest fabrics and outstanding service to loyal customers, ensuring a remarkable bespoke experience for future generations.

As the CYC team puts it: “We are not just stitching shirts, we are stitching stories and memories.”

We are deeply honored to be a long-term partner of CYC Custom Shirts, as one of the key suppliers of high-quality fabrics. With its rich history and sterling reputation, being entrusted to provide materials for such a legacy brand is more than just work for us—it’s a symbol of trust and responsibility.

Throughout our collaboration with CYC, we’ve witnessed their meticulous attention to detail and the care they put into every garment. This commitment to excellence aligns perfectly with our own high standards for fabric quality. It is this shared dedication that has made our partnership so strong and long-lasting. This relationship is not only a commercial success but also a validation of our relentless pursuit of excellence and innovation.

Every custom garment that CYC creates carries with it rich stories and emotions, and we are proud to play a crucial role in that. We look forward to continuing to provide CYC with the finest fabrics in the future, helping to create many more timeless moments. As CYC's clothing carries the stories of its customers, we will continue to assist in crafting these stories with our fabrics.

Once again, we extend our gratitude to the CYC team for their trust and partnership, and we look forward to a more glorious future together!
