Any bespoke shirtmaker should be able to do a decent job on a 2-button collar. It's a pretty standard thing or so it seems. I don't know how many - if any - shirtmakers there are in ATL. It looks like Hemrajani stops by there. Will has spoken highly of their work. So far I've gotten a sample shirt from them and they did some things well and some things not so well. I gave two more shirts left on the initial order to see if they can be a decent alternative.
Thanks. I too have one shirt from mytailor.com. Hemrajani didn't measure me but one of his employees/associates did. The shirt has armholes bigger and deeper than any shirt I own, including rtw (I'm being dead serious). The collar feels like a thin combination of plastic and paper. The buttons are thin pieces of cheap plastic. The chest, waist and collar shape were done well though. I guess I could try them again and point out the problems with my first shirt and see if they have another way they can construct the collar. edit: I just checked the mytailor website and a different mytailor representative will be in Atlanta at the beginning of May. I think I'll try him out and see if he does any better (the first guy I tried was unhelpful and uninterested at best). I'll also use a Thomas Mason fabric this time.
