CYC Made to Measure Unveils its New Flagship Store and Identity

A shirt does make the man, especially a well cut one. Firm believer in the power of a well fitted shirt, CYC is Singapore’s oldest and most established custom shirt maker. Meticulous attention to details, the fineness of its stitching to the perfectly engineered cut and fit of the shirt, has won it legions of satisfied customers in the little red dot and beyond.

Authentically Singaporean

The story of CYC began more than 80 years ago, when 23-year-old Chiang Yick Ching married 16-year-old Foo Ah Neok and set off from Shanghai towards Singapore. In 1935, they opened the inaugural CYC store, making them the first in the city to offer custom-made shirts. Over time CYC expanded within the city as well as to other locations such as Indonesia and Malaysia. The brand’s reigns were then passed onto the sons, Sing Choo and Ping Choo. After the death of Ping Choo, the family decided to hand over the business to Mrs Fong Loo Fern, the eldest daughter of Sing Choo, who had been helping out at the stores since she was 12 years old!

Embracing the new

Like her grandparents who founded the CYC company, Loo Fern believes strongly that a good shirt is one which is not only comfortable to wear but also one that fits the body perfectly. “CYC continues to focus its efforts at enhancing its image as Singapore’s finest custom-made shirt and suit maker to the discerning by ensuring that its products and services continue to meet the same exacting standards that our founders had set some 80 years ago.” says Mrs Fong Loo Fern as she carries forward this baton of excellence in craftsmanship.

Eight decades since its inception, CYC is now bringing forward a new vision and a fresh identity. CYC The Custom Shop is now called CYC Made to Measure, a name that shares the fundamental brand values while striving to enhance their image in an authentic and inspiring way. Still on this journey of distinction in dressing customers for style and success, the brand is looking forward to its growing international and online presence.
