At least this is my assumption based on what I could figure out from their information.

This is the same softwear that lands end uses for their custom shirt program. I think Paul Fredricks may also be using this program.


What bothered me about their site was how vague it all seemed. I wanted to see how to take the measurements on the second section, but there were no diagrams. no mention of lead times. which asian countries were they made in.
100/2 and 140/2 from china are OK but a little mushy.IMO.

I am curious to see the results as well.

I was in Hong Kong for a weekend and i got trousers made in jantzen. when trying the trousers, i saw in his little office his swatches of shirts and he pays hk$38 for 2 yards of material. I dont know how much material you need but hk$38 is about $5. plus apparently no one tailors in hong kong anymore, it all goes over the boarder for cheap labour in shenzhen (cool city with lots of fake clothes/dvds etc over hk boarder

). probably why it takes so long?

this site seems like a cool idea but its just a custom shirt... so its quite random to buy from them and not some higher quality clothes specialist?? instead of dot com people

Thanks for the BUMP. I think I'm going to give this a try, but will wait on some feedback.

I own one white shirt w/140 thread count and french cuffs from ergoni.

The shirt cost 39 dollars and was a great fit when I received it.
The measuring tool they have captured the slim fit I wanted
and the slightly longer sleeves I need.

The shirt is very thing(which I prefer) and doesn't fit like a tent.

I've put the shirt next to my kiton, and borelli shirts and it's definitely a notch below but it's 2-3 notches above polo, or ike behar etc.. comparable.

Interested in this as well. Pictures of fits will be great.

Gotta give it to you... you're pretty consistent in your shilling for this vendor / buddy.

For the hell of it I just ordered one. I mean its only $39 bucks...what do I have to lose. When I get it, I will put in my 2 cents.

I would have tried tailorstore for about the same price.

Hey why not? 39 bucks for a decent shirt that's already altered...
OR buy a 45 dollar polo button shirt(on discount) and still have to alter it...for another 35...

Made sense.

Yeah - the heavily-fused ******-fabric even-worse-buttons POS I received from that place is clearly only 1 small notch below Kiton and Borrelli, and 2-3 notches above a Lorenzini-made Polo shirt...

I'd be more then happy to take them off your hands.

I never wore mine once. It went straight from the envelope to the thrift store bag. I feel bad for whoever picked that up at the thrift store though...

Should have saved it to wear with the golf club dunhill tie clip. I still can't even give mine away.

I paid $19 for an Ergoni shirt and I don't feel like I got a good deal. Very, very bad.
