LE CHEMISEUR® demonstrates how AI can help create a new, more personalized and eco-friendly luxury.

The brand has achieved +45% growth in 2025, and is currently launching the concept in Germany and Switzerland.

Key facts

LE CHEMISEUR® is a French online bespoke shirt specialist, founded in 2014 by Jan Schütte, a German engineer based in Paris.

LE CHEMISEUR® has developed a proprietary AI that calculates customers' Fit simply from weight, height, age.

To build customer loyalty, the brand has patented the Fit Key principle, a personal code inscribed on each product that makes reordering simple and fun.

LE CHEMISEUR® has over 50,000 customers and has been B Corp certified since 2024.

 


 

1. AI that creates value for customers, the environment and society

  • The AI developed by LE CHEMISEUR® facilitates online ordering. Its implementation has improved the conversion rate by +30% compared to measuring with a measuring tape. The customer simply answers a few questions (Weight, Size, Age, Morphology and Usage) and the site calculates the ideal Fit based on data from 50,000 similar customers.
  • The returns rate is just 5% (compared with 20-30% in typical fashion e-commerce), thanks to the precision of the AI, and strong customer loyalty (almost no returns on re-purchase).
  • The AI improves regularly thanks to machine learning. Every touch-up (1-2 cm) improves the learning process.
  • Zero stock and overall a 43% reduction in CO₂ emissions per shirt, compared to the average e-commerce mode.

Why it's innovative: Unlike brands that test bet everything on generalist LLMs, LE CHEMISEUR® has developed a simple, frugal but specialized AI in-house, trained on internal, secure data. It delivers real value today.

It's an example of the precision economy, using technology to deliver high-quality, customized services while reducing financial and ecological waste.


 

2. High loyalty, no promotions

LE CHEMISEUR® achieves an exceptional re-purchase rate of 63% within 6 months. With :

  • Single, fair price: Shirts start at €99 and go up to €195 (premium).
  • No sales: Unlike almost all competitors in men's shirts.
  • Loyalty through experience: The Fit Key (unique 5-character code) enables one-click recommendations based on a previous shirt.

The absence of promotions is consistent with the brand's ecological commitment ("we don't push consumption") and with the constraints of industrial organization: no stock, no unsold items to sell off, and the need for the workshop to have a stable production rhythm.


 

3. A new "quiet luxury": fashion as a service

Classic luxury brands show beautiful models as if on a pedestal. We buy products to look like them.

  • Fits are adapted to each customer (including atypical morphologies).
  • The customer's name printed instead of the label.
  • No logos visible from the outside, but high-quality fabrics and comfortable, elegant fits.

 

4. A redesigned, B Corp-certified production system

LE CHEMISEUR® is not a "green-washing" brand that has chosen a few organic fabrics. Over the past 10 years, it has completely rebuilt a more virtuous production and marketing system.

B Corp certification obtained: Score of 95.3/200 (required threshold: 80).

43% reduction in CO₂ emissions compared with the e-commerce fashion average.

Concrete figures:

  • Zero overproduction versus 20% in fashion (source McKinsey 2020). Each shirt is ordered before being manufactured.
  • 5% returns (vs. 20-30% in fashion e-commerce) thanks to the Fit Key system.
  • European fabrics and optimized supply chain: manufacturing in Tunisia and Portugal, plane-free delivery, zero plastic kraft packaging.

 

5. A French brand created by a German, now launching in DACH

Jan Schütte, a German engineer, launched LE CHEMISEUR® in France in 2014.

Who is Jan Schütte?

  • Graduate of Centrale Paris (a leading French engineering school)
  • 6 years' experience in the automotive industry: supply chain specialist at Toyota Europe, specializing in "just-in-time" optimization.
  • Philosophy: apply German industrial rigor to French fashion

European launch early 2026

For the first time in 10 years, LE CHEMISEUR® launches internationally. The website was translated into English and German in 2025. For Switzerland, pre-payment of VAT and Customs has been implemented. Initial marketing initiatives are underway.
