    Charles Tyrwhitt Reviews and Fitting

    I've bought several shirts from CT. Their return policy is very helpful. My experience has been that the shirt sleeves run a full inch too short, if it's not non-iron then it will shrink a lot, and I wear their extra slim fit cut but I find it too tight across the chest* (the slim fit is too...

    Boss Black Suit

    I also bought some HB before I really knew much about good clothes. I thought the styling, fit and fabric were an improvement over boring Brooks Brothers. I have one black label, one red label and one selection. I'm disappointed with the quality of all three. It's noticeable that the suits...

    Chicago suit stores?

    I'm also interested to see what responses you get. My suits are all from Brooks Brothers and Hugo Boss, all but one in the $500-1,000 range thanks to sale pricing, but I'm tired of both sources. Brooks does not have the quality of fit or styling, nor is the fabric very good, and the...

    New York City tailors

    ^Im also thinking of going to Short Hills in NJ to save on sales tax. I used to shop at Short Hills. The BB tailors were terrible. I bought four suits OTR there in 2009-10, the last two were Fitzgerald. I was really unimpressed by the quality in the fitting and tailoring process -- and I only...
