Good evening,
As the title indicates I'm looking for a bespoke (or MTM might also do) shirtmaker in London, and preferably one that's not horribly expensive, as my reason for going bespoke is more of a necessity than a luxury. I'm 6'4 with decent shoulders, so needless to say finding shirts that are long enough in the sleeve is a challenge for me, and the ones who come close are usually incredibly big in the body.
I've searched and found older threads on this subject, but they are a few years old so I figured I'd start a new one for updated info and prices.
So, who does good work and at what price? From reading a bit I gather Sean O'Flynn has a good reputation for high quality without being overly expensive, is this still true? If yes, what will the damage be per shirt, and what's the minimum order? Who else should I consider as contenders that give equally good value for money? And att the entry price, how good are the materials? For shirts I tend to favour materials that are light and soft if that's of any importance.
I live in Oslo, but have friends I like to visit in London, so I think this is probably the best way to go. It'd be great if it's possible to do this with an initial visit and the rest done through phone/email. Does anyone have experience with that?
Thank you in advance
