Today I received my single shirt order from www.mysuitshop.com
I was eager to try this place after Jantzen took 7 months to deliver my order.
The shirt is better than I expected. They offer three different lines, which start at $30, $38, and $42. As far as I can tell, they are priced based on fabric. I paid an extra $3 to have my shirt made more quickly.
I ordered my shirt from the cheapest line, using their 100% cotton 2-ply material. The material isn't bad, about on par with shirts in the $120-$150 range. I just used the cheapest material as this was my tester shirt.
The measurements seem pretty accurate, except the neck, which is about an inch too small. I now see that on the site they have a disclaimer saying that neck sizes over 17" should use the big and tall order form, which I didn't do, but still specified my neck size. Looking back on 'my measurements portfolio', it says the neck size I put in was 15.75" which is strange as my neck is 17.5". I do not have any explaination for this discrepancy.
Total for my order was $39 ($30 for the shirt + $3 for priority service + $6 S&H).
Compared to my experience with Jantzen:
Pros:
- 11 day delivery, including shipping from Bangkok
- Emails were sent to confirm that the order was received, that my CC was billed, that they started making the shirt, that the shirt was finished, and that the order was sent
- Tracking number was provided
- Website stores your measurements and allows you to easily change them, and see what you have ordered in the past - easier to use than Jantzen
Cons
- Fabric is not as nice, but the more expensive fabrics are probably nicer.
- Buttons are plastic, but you can get MOP for an extra $8
- Fewer options/choices
