Hello everyone,
I hope someone can help me with this problem. I have found 3 good local tailors whom I would like to start using to make casual and dress shirts. The dress shirts are easy - they all have access to all the Thomas Mason, Scabal, Albini fabrics, etc.
The problem is with the casual shirts. Almost every casual shirt appeals to me because of the interesting and beautiful fabric choice. I was in the local Lagerfeld store today, for example, and saw several shirts which I liked, but I don't even know where to begin to find such interesting casual fabrics. Does anyone have an idea? Is there any chance to buy these kinds of fabrics online in small quantities? (The local brick and mortar stores here are worthless). Or do the designers produce these fabric just for themselves? All I can think of at the moment is traveling to another country which has major fabric markets, and bring back a suitcase full of great fabrics which the tailors can make shirts from, but this idea is really impractical and $$$!
