Today’s Swamplot sponsor is Hamilton Shirts.

Just a short drive west from the shiny new River Oaks District and the glossy renovation of the Galleria, Hamilton Shirts attracts some of the city’s most affluent consumers to a nondescript office building off the equally unassuming Richmond Strip. Hamilton is Houston’s oldest family-owned business; it’s now owned and operated by the fourth-generation brother-and-sister team of Kelly and David Hamilton. The shirt factory — where every piece is hand cut and sewn — is in back. Inside the storefront in front, customers can select from more than 500 fine Italian and Swiss fabrics.

For the holiday season, Hamilton offers gift cards, along with a large number of custom clothing options, including new takes on classic tuxedo shirting — such as black with white polka dots and a navy poplin with white panel stitching and a white tip collar.

Hamilton Shirts is located at 5700 Richmond Ave in Houston; the phone number is (713) 780-8222. You can also learn more about the company, its offerings, and store hours on the Hamilton Shirts website.
