But I really couldn't accept that they refused to admit that the colour was different on the cuffs when it was evident, and even the Chinese man at first agreed, then following a quick conversation in Cantonese, later disagreed. Don't believe that this should happen on any shirt, any any price point.
But you reckon I ought to try them again, since you've had such a stellar experience? Might be that my shirt was the odd exception.
*Not sure if it affected how the buttons were sewn, but I chose the thick MOP buttons.

They are coming to my campus and offering 10% discount for students so I am going to visit them and get a look-see but as I have no personal experience with them I was reaching out to the forum's collective wisdom. As per their email:
Our family tailoring shop, JC & Son Tailoring Co., will be coming to Boston on Dec 2 to Dec 4. Prices for our high-quality custom-made suits and shirts are follows: suits are $ 550 and up , and shirts are $85 and up. Fabric brands include Loro Piana, Scabal, Fintes, Thomas Mason premium shirting etc.
What differentiates us from most other custom tailor shops is that
(1) The founder (my father) is himself a very reputable Shanghainese tailor rarely found in today's market, so we have the technical expertise to ensure a high level of quality that our sophisticated clientele requires and deserves;
(2) As an XXXXX alumni myself, I understand your needs and I make sure our whole company does the same and knows how to serve you in a professional fashion.
(3) JC & Son is conscientious and responsible in decision making in every part of the value chain, as we understand that long-term, trusting customer relationships are more worthwhile than short-term profits;
For students, we offer a very special discount and gift to you. All students will get 10% discount for your order, as well as get a free shirt, if you order at least one suit.
