Mine had holes running along the seams and some on the shirt body. You can read about it in my thread. I looked at my second shirt, and realized it had the same problem.

When I contacted them, they offered to remake them and offered to pay only up to $10 shipping to send the shirts back. This is not right if you paid $20 for shipping. Also, as there are holes in the shirt sleeves and body, the shirt is almost as good as ruined, my local tailor said that there is no way the integrity of the fabric can magically mend itself after damage. I don't see the point why returning the shirts would help,.

They will most like try to cut as minimal cloth as possible to create a "frankenstein" shirt and return them back with no guarantees that it will be fault free. If they were sincere, they would offer to redo the entire shirts without me having to send them back or give me a full refund.


Damn that sucks dude. From what I've heard, I'm pretty sure they'd make a new shirt for you, rather than alter it.

If they are going to remake the shirt, why insist upon us sending it back? It is a real hassle for me to ship things as I have neither materials nor the convenience to do so. In fact, most of us who are not ebay sellers find it troublesome to have to commit time to make delivery for an error that should not have been done in the first place.

Foo, why the sudden change to online MTM?

I'm at 13 MT shirts now through 5 different orders. On one shirt they made the waist 1/2" too small. That has been my only complaint. Shirts have held up well through regular washing and ironing with no visible construction problems. I ordered a suit from them on June 14th and will update the MT suit thread when it comes in.

You will include PHOTOGRAPHS with this suit critique, I trust? Noone actually believes MT makes suits. I can get photos of bigfoot easier than I can one of their suits.

I've got two thoughts here.

I'm 2/2 on my shirts being a success with MT.

The OP has never ordered from them yet is critiquing?

I bought 3 shirts so far and I'll very likely buy some more. I have nothing bad to say about MT.

Can Metrostyles use his superior excel charting skills to create a graph showing the incidence of Jantzen shirt threads and Moderntailor shirt threads over the last 5 years? I think it could make sense to create a structured product by buying Jantzen and shorting MT, or the opposite trade depending on the position in the cycle.

first jantzen was the ****, then it was moderntailor, now everyone is talking about jumping on the cottonwork band wagon. this board is very fickle.

Ive only had a couple of shirts from moderntailor, but both have been great. when paying $50 for mtm, you should probably expect a mishap every now and then. fortunately, moderntailor's customer service seems like if/when they do finally make a mistake with my order, they'll make it up to me.

Good point - one could round up the trade by buying some cottonwork stock as an emerging growth kicker.
