If I lived in NYC, I'd go with Geneva. That's based on previous StyleForum discussions, though -- I don't have personal experience.

Oops, time flies. Then I'd go with someone I do have experience with -- CEGO.

If it must be in NYC as well as <$250, then I'd have to 2nd CEGO. However, if easily accessible from NYC is on the table, I would also recommend Gambert in Newark/Millburn, NJ. Shirts start ~$150 & go to $300+, depending on fabric. Shop is great, the staff is great.
Good Luck.
Good Luck.

Online MTM is the way to go.
Mytailor/Hemrajani has Acorn fabrics in the $200 - $250 price range.
Proper cloth has the best website and are NYC based so you can be measured in person. Their fabric selection is limited, but well curated with classic patterns and colors. They have Thomas Mason, around $150.
It seems that one of the best strategies is to invest one great fitting bespoke shirt (or 3 or whatever the minimum is), and then send that shirt to one of the online MTM places to copy it.

NMWA has lovely G.Inglese shirts at $295 each and it also has shirts by Mazzarelli for $220 (I think) each. The Mazzarelli ones are a bit more casual by virtue of the fabric as they all seem to be made from oxford or royal oxford cloth instead of poplin, as are the Inglese shirts.
