I know that when you hit the lottery, You will come back and buy shirts in all of the amazing Italian fabrics that I now have in stock. the 120/2 from Ferno, the linen/cottons for the summer. And I will even make you a shirt from 100% cashmere for those evenings in the mountains after skiing.


There is somethng slightly off with the balance of your jantzen shirt. It seems to be falling back a touch. note the diagonal creases below the chest. It also seems tight in the front upper chest. the chest measurement might need to be let out a touch as well no more then an 1" It is hard to get a really good idea with out seeing the shirt on you in person.. Come by one day and I will tell you what can be improved.

So then what do you find so amusing about it? Your arguing that T&A @ $300 wont match patterns but jantzen @ $50 will. Im arguing that i would rather buy the shirt from T&A because it fits properly and that pattern matching is not as big deal to me as fit. Maybe i misunderstood your statement.

The point was, I believe, that there's no tradeoff between fit and pattern matching. If a $45 a shirt maker can pattern match, why can't T&A be bothered?
