The OneShirt: A Phoenix from the Ashes [4/24/13 UPDATE: A SHIRTMAKER, AN ENGLISHMAN, CHAMBRAY, AND F
I am inclined to say yes, unequivocally, but Americans tend to keep to Madrid, Barcelona, and Sevilla when they visit Spain, so in all fairness I don't see many American tourists in my own sleepy provincial city. It does, however, make one laugh to hear or read a Brit go on about American...- Ricini

Here in Spain, you go around convincing others you are American if you want to get kicked out of a bar or restaurant.- Ricini

The OneShirt: A Phoenix from the Ashes [4/24/13 UPDATE: A SHIRTMAKER, AN ENGLISHMAN, CHAMBRAY, AND F
Mine is very dry, too, Foo. At some point tomorrow I'm going to dig up the remaindered shirting of the peach Chambray and if see there is big difference in the pilling. That is to say, I am fairly certain that it is not slubbiness, but I'll check.- Ricini

The OneShirt: A Phoenix from the Ashes [4/24/13 UPDATE: A SHIRTMAKER, AN ENGLISHMAN, CHAMBRAY, AND F
Derek, That article, though a horror in every way(even for NYT), made me realize I've not seen a grown man with a gold chain around his neck in years. The thought made me so happy I set fire to my shirt.- Ricini

The OneShirt: A Phoenix from the Ashes [4/24/13 UPDATE: A SHIRTMAKER, AN ENGLISHMAN, CHAMBRAY, AND F
For what little it's worth, when I brought a length of Will's peach chambray to my shirtmaker in 2011, the first thing the head cutter said to me was, "this has poly in it." I knew at the time that it was not the so-called old-loomed stuff because my shirtmaker stocks it in blue and the...- Ricini

Carmina vs Meermin
One significant difference is that the finishing on Meermins is consistently poor. I know many on the forum love the brand, but the five or six times I've been in the Claudio Coello shop I've left thinking one is better off with a pair of Allen Edmonds (shapely lasts be damned). This is not to...- Ricini

Folded Up Shirt Appreciation
SM, I'd never heard of Textiber until I moved here, and I found them a good replacement for Thomas Mason, which Burgos doesn't stock. In fact, Textiber doesn't seem to be quite so hit or miss as TM, and provides similar value. Do reply about the puckering when you've time. Thanks, R PS...- Ricini

Folded Up Shirt Appreciation
Shirtmaven, Are you referring to the puckering on the placket? It is a bit exaggerated in the photo. I am curious about how a high SPI affects certain shirtings, though. Would you explain further (again, just curious)? The chambray is not nearly as open as the voile, yet the chambray does...- Ricini

Folded Up Shirt Appreciation
Sorry, ET. don't know why I got a bit defensive there. I really did just want to change the recent tenor of thread. The finishing on Burgos' shirts is quite good, but it may take a bit of work to get the fit you want, though perhaps not more than it does with other makers not named Kabbaz. R- Ricini

Folded Up Shirt Appreciation
Yes, but I am posting as to do away with the shilling here, not add to it. I'll take down the description, if it pleases, just thought posting deets is what most did. I planned on adding shirts from other makers when I have time.- Ricini

Why is a rolled edge on a PS "better"?
A few more images: The finishing on that vanda square is lovely, Derek. These are handrolled. From top: Cravat Royale A local maker Drake's Sam Hober (the best finishing of this set, imo)- Ricini

Official Events and PSA thread
You'll have to contact them for that. As I'm sure you know, most traveling tailors have different prices while traveling. They do have a range of prices, though, with sturdy Spanish shirtings from Textivea at the low end and Alumo (170s, I think) at the high end. They also carry some S-G...- Ricini

Official Events and PSA thread
For those in New York or thereabouts I thought I'd pass on that the Spanish shirtmaker Burgos will be in Manhattan on October 11 and 12. Shirts are made almost entirely by hand and you are not likely to find comparable sewing outside of a few Italian ateliers or at their price point. Please note...- Ricini

O'connell's Clothing - Poor Service
Full. They are made by Hertling. Very similar to Andover Shop's cut, though AS's taper a bit more. They'll peg them for you for a small fee. Also, the link is not working for me, but unless they specify woolen flannel, assume their flannels are worsted. I'd call and ask to be sure. R- Ricini

Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread
Not inconsiderable, that, but the shade of the pink linen might be worth the expense. Would you let us know your thoughts when it arrives? I wonder if its weight hasn't made it too stiff. Ricini- Ricini
