How can you tell if a fabric is a cotton/polyester blend? All their fabric seems to be listed as pure cotton, even their cheapest fabrics.

It states so in their website clearly.

Found it under the fabric material sort option. Sorry, still new to their website and figuring out how to navigate it. Thanks.

Nice shirt. Fit looks good to me. There is something weird about the last button, at the bottom, it seems it isn't spaced as the other buttons. Or is it just the picture? I do have 3 shirts in transit from Modern Tailor. I should receive them this week.

if you really want to get nit-picky, the shoulder and/or the sleeve could be a little smaller, both to get the seam to sit right at the tip of your shoulder and to relieve a bit of the bunching above the cuff, but again, if you like a more relaxed fit, I think you're pretty spot on.



according to a response to my email when I had the same issue, when they redesigned their website, something happened to the order status on the user's end, so it just shows "order recieved" then straight to "in transit" I hope they fix that shortly.

Please post in the official ModernTailor thread (use the search). Their banners should be up shortly.

Cheers,

Fok.

Hmm, I think the shoulder seam is actually a little short of my shoulder. I think bc I had my arm raised it may have fallen down some? I was going to lengthen the should a tad and shorten the sleeve a tad..

Has anyone experienced fluctuations in their shirts measurements from order to order?

For example, your profile measurements state "sleeves 26 inches long" but MT sends you shirts with 25 and/or 27 inch sleeves?

I have discovered fluctuations in some of my measurements from a half inch off to 1 & 1/2 inches off. I am wondering if this is a widespread problem or if I am just unlucky.

Yes. My first shirt was with a size 16 neck and when I put it on it fit perfectly. Snug to my neck but not tight at all. I used the same measurement on my second and I'm scared to see how this will fit after I wash it. It is very snug. Not sure what to think. Will I need to order a 16.5 and run the risk of it being too loose?

To be certain, I would measure your second shirt collar to verify that the measurement is not what you requested. Based on your fit experience, I assume it isn't.

You shouldn't change your measurements. MT should make the shirt properly per your stated requirements.

..

I read somewhere on MT's website about the standard fluctuation in measurements.

Found it in the FAQ:

How much adjustment from the shirt measurements should I expect on the finished product?
Our tolerance of production (cutting commitment) is based on international standards.
Chest/Waist/Hip (+/-) 2cm

Nadim, let us know what duties/customs charges you get hit with.

Have any other Canadians ordered from Modern Tailor? What duties/customs charges did you have to pay?

You must have been lucky. I email MT, and was told my shirt is still in production and delivery time is up to 21 business days.

I've ordered 4 times now and have never paid any charges.
