or was each shirt different in details. collars, cufffs, fronts, stitching?
I know that styleforum members, love to mix up details on one order.

2 were barrel cuffs, 2 were French. 1 button-down, the rest spread. Fronts the same, backs the same as well.

?! Are they already available for order? How much does a pair cost? I'd really, really love to get a few. January is a long while to wait!

I thought I'd give a proper review of my shirt received a few days ago.

The initials are really put in an inappropriate place, very near the buttons which makes it visible when the jacket is worn open. The "F" letter is also not finished (upper bar of the F is not done). 

That's why I removed the initials request in my second order.

The measurements have been very very well followed and I'm quite impressed regarding that, the collar looks good but the neck band is extremely rigid. I also ordered a second shirt with a softer neck band to make a comparison.

The fabric now is what annoys me more. For a Monti 2/140s, superfine cotton, the touch is rough and feels like low quality cotton. I own shirts from Barba, Charvet and a lot of bespoke shirts. The fabrics are mostly from Alumo in 140/2 and it's worlds apart from the Monti I received. Prices are not the same of course but still. I'm looking for a soft touch and "superfine cotton" seemed like what I was looking for.

In that sense, I'm a bit disappointed. I ordered another shirt in another 140/2 fabric to check whether the feeling would be the same.

But once again, measurements, fast treatment and delivery and good customer service are impressive

I did notice that the cuff slit that runs up the sleeve does not have closing buttons, is this something that can be requested in the next order i wonder?
For next shirt, i will ask for a collar with no gap, cuff sleeve buttons, and make slight adjustments to neck and armholes.
Great service, and speed of delivery, especially considering how far it travelled.

I noticed that they make their French cuffs' gauntlet slightly different from most RTW makers. It's actually sort of "split" into half, and closes nicely without a button. Normal ones are sort of "overlapped" instead.

I like it.

I just received my second order and once again the fit and finish is quite nice. This time around I ordered a pair of shirts that were more casual in style and fabric, including  one that was a brown plaid flannel - not a shirt I'd ever have imagined myself buying, but maybe I've just been in England too long and miss my native Canada. Regardless, I had to laugh when I was ironing it and noticed how meticulous they were about pattern matching. Each of the seams on the shirt are very well balanced pattern wise, and there was obviously a lot of care taken when the shirt was laid out, but the front pocket really stood out.

Or rather didn't!

If you look very closely, you'll be able to tell there is a pocket on that shirt. It's a poor picture (iPhone), but the pocket is even harder to see in real life.

I was very happy to see how much attention they paid to making the shirt balance with the pattern on the fabric... and I think that the nigh-invisible pocket is just brilliant!

I've just ordered my third pair of shirts today in plain white and classic blue oxford. I'll probably start branching out a little more colour wise in my next orders.

Donovan.
