Ran across an article in the Richmond paper this morning about a couple of Oxford MBA grads who are opening a new online MTM shirt operation. Their shirts run around $125 and the web site just went live. I'm tempted to give them a try just to help out a new local company.

Their philosophy about fit seems to jibe closely with the SF creed:
"After years in London we acquired a healthy addiction for the tailoring of Saville Row and the shirting of Jermyn Street. On our trips back to the States we were always frustrated by the lack of offerings in menswear. Big name men's retailers created formless and baggy clothes and high fashion brands charged extortionate prices. It seemed like there was a real need for a brand that offered European quality, English fit and American style; all at an attainable price."

I'm leaving for a week-long vacation tomorrow, but will be back in town next week. Shoot me a PM with your details and I'll contact you when I'm back in town. I just got a new SLR camera -- maybe I can do an in-depth SF review.
