Is there anyway I can tailor my clothes from Calvin Klein Fabrics?

I do not know why but Calvin Klein Shirts always feel better than a thomas mason MTM shirt. (For the same price)

How many of you agree with me and is there anyway to get MTM shirts from CK material?

I'm almost afraid to ask, but are you referring to the calvin klein collection stuff from saks fifth ave, or the ck stuff from mens wearhouse?

Yes. 99.9% of the CK stuff you see at malls is under $100 and is made in china... then there's the 0.001% of stuff from Calvin Klein's high-end italian made collection that are several hundred dollars an item.

Regular CK shirt fabric is pretty marginal stuff. Maybe you picked up one that was made of exceptionally nice fabric, but on the whole, it's nothing special. Thomas Mason really does produce some of the best fabrics out there, but again the appearance is totally based on preferences.

Looking back at your first post, I'm confused about the ck shirt and thomas mason fabric "for the same price" remark. Did you see $250 CK shirts, or $40 thomas mason shirts???
