“A premium, high-quality dress shirt is too expensive”
Every idea starts with a problem. Ours was simple:
“A premium, high-quality dress shirt is too expensive”. Joshua Chiang, founder of Corrington Co was a cheapskate. Not the one that look for bottom-price deal, but the one that seeks quality and value. In 2020, Joshua was searching dress shirt for an occasion. But, he discovered that it is impossible to find a well-made, Jermyn Street calibre dress shirts without the premium price tag (RM 700+) in Malaysia. And, he could not find a dress shirt that fits him perfectly. From there he saw an opportunity in the market because he knew he could build a brand that set them apart from traditional labels. Corrington Co was founded to create an alternative. A brand that was different, better, and had an edge. A brand for the modern consumer. By circumventing traditional channels and engaging with customers directly through e-commerce, we're able to offer the finest everyday essentials at a fraction of the traditional retail price.

Our 27 months of
shirtmaking journey
shirtmaking journey
We had a rather humble beginning. We are not from shirtmaking background, we did not have any industry connections nor investors. And our startup capital cannot even afford the MOQ of one product. But our obsessive passion in creating genuine quality product has kept pushing us until today.
For the past 27 months, we have been searching & testing different kinds of materials, manufacturing processes and treatments. We even joined a competition, showcased our product, pitched our ideas, and won. In Oct 2022, we launched our first product. Now we are fully commited to build a leading lifestyle brand and we stand behind our products.

We are driven to redefine the pricing of the traditional high-priced luxury dress shirt. That’s why we take a direct-to-consumer approach, working directly with world-class factories and cutting out traditional retail markup, to pass on the savings to you. We believe in product quality, not marketing gimmick.
