I've recently discovered a great new clothing company called Woodies. I am 6'3" and pretty skinny. Finding proper dress clothes that are well fitting and long enough for me has always been a great difficulty when shopping. Tailoring is usually a large part of buying any clothing to make them fit me at all. I bought a shirt from Woodies clothing and it fit me perfectly on delivery. The website uses your measurements to create a personal size profile. I was very impressed by the quality and comfort of the shirt. Check out woodiesclo.com if you're interested in trying them out.

Has anyone else purchased from them before? I'd love to know about the consistence of their shirts from others.

I haven't really seen too many opinions about that company on this site. However, I have found two reputable (for the most part) MTM clothing manufacturers that might take your interest.

1. Propercloth (definitely reputable) - https://propercloth.com/ Superb quality, and ensures a guaranteed fit or send it back and they'll fix it for you and update your measurement profile.
2. Modern Tailor (some reviews don't speak too high about it) - http://moderntailor.com/ Quality is good, and fit is in the first dress shirt, however, from some reviews, I've seen that Modern tailor has messed up with measurements here and there. My shirt that was produced from them came out well with accurate measurements.

These just evidence the pit falls of online purchase for such clothing.

These forays almost always end in tears as the manufacturers have finally started realise. However unless you are a skilled judge of cutting, it is nigh impossible to resolve things such as divots by email - even if the maker really knows how to do which is rare. Sweat shop owners in India or China and not cutters/tailors they run sweat shops whose sole purpose is to send out as many finished garments as they in humanly can. Quality is politely asked to wait in the lobby and later told that no one understands it and so please clear off.
