UKYS App is a whole new way to own a perfect fitting shirt with built-in measuring technology so you can shop for tailored shirts at home. Your phone’s camera acts as a professional tailor taking your body measurements & No tape measure required. It takes you less than 5 minutes to place an order for a custom shirt. (I tried it last week, took me around 4 minutes to order one. Pretty easy!) At the heart of the UKYS app is LIM, a technology developed by their in-house engineering team to perfectly capture the measurements a tailor would make, but from your phone instead of a costly visit to the tailor. With just five standing posture photos, which you can take in the comfort of your own home, LIM Technology is able to create a 3D model of your body from which your body measurements are taken and used by the UKYS app to apply to your orders.

Looks great! Anything for the perfect fit without a trip to the tailor. I can't wait to see women's styles. And a version that isn't designed to be tucked in. And....and...😊

Hi Kelly (@kkdub), Thank you for your feedback. We are doing for menswear dress shirts at this stage. Nevertheless, we have several successful cases in view of fitting for women’ shirts during our experiment time. It’s just about the styles which lead to variety of customization options that we need to spend more time to study thoroughly. Regards, Lam

First shirt was well constructed and fit perfectly. I have trouble finding shirts that fit all over, neck, arms and torso. This one was perfect! Highly recommend.

@formless_fos We spent days and nights to research and develop this technology. You should try it out! I'd be interested to hear your feedback! Regards. Lam

Thanks for hunting us @kwdinc! Hey Hunters, I'm founder of UKYS. We would like to offer every backers from Product Hunt an exclusively designed satin pocket square and a black bow tie for every pledge of $57 or more. They will be sent together with your shirt. I'll be hanging out on PH all day and happy to answer any questions and would love your feedback. Lam

@khietlam @kwdinc You are essentially using Pythagorean, camera and height of the user to calculate the measurements. Since height is a manual input ...if the user incorrectly enters their height the measurement wont be correct ? . Having said that the overall workflow experience was good.

I love this technology! I am currently living in Vietnam where I get a lot of tailored shirts but was worried that when I left I wouldn't be able to get tailored clothing at a good price. This app puts that to rest!

@justinhrogers Thanks Justin :)

This seems pretty similar to MTailor, which I've used for a while -- what's your advantage over them, especially since your shirts are more expensive?

Hi Julian (@julianpclarke), Thank you for your feedback. McDonald and KFC are serving similar food to their customers and still remains their own attraction via their quality of products and services. There are several ways to solve a problem. We’re using your photos to get your measurements. This can be a new choice for customers for the following reasons: - Face-censor technology applied for privacy protected. You can review this before uploading photos to our server. - In-house tailor with years of experience in crafting shirts. - Shirts are made from 100% Egyptian cotton. - Free Remake if the shirt does not fit you well. - Worldwide shipping at $5 per order. The current price $57 per shirt is the best we can afford for the said quality of a custom-made shirt. We are improving our technology and production day by day to bring customers decent shirts with great fit at affordable price. This journey is exciting and we believe customers will have their good choice. You should try it out! I'd be interested to hear your feedback! Regards. Lam
