If I was a mediocre Italian restaurant owned by Albanians, I would be located in Murray Hill.

one of your earlier posts
I figure it's probably not worth the time and money. The one major issue is bunching at the yoke seam in the back.

it is an easy fix. open up yoke seam and trim. restitch!
with out even seeing you in person i can tell you have square shoulders and erect posture. probably short between shoulder blades and top of shoulders.
I doubt the Brooks MTM program can even correct that on their pattern.
hey! If I can make Manton a decent OCBD I could do the same for you!
just no nubs!

Well, for what it's worth, I think your name is a good shirt-selling name. Maybe I'll take you up on the OCBD offer--can I assume Manton will be footing the bill? Don't worry about the nubs. They are loved, but optional.

It sounds like you're right about my OCBD issues. Maybe I'll bring them to you. It's just that I never expected them to fit perfectly and I'm not sure I want to spend more money on them.

I would've suggested signor Kabbaz, but there's a small issue.
You will have to be introduced to maestro by an established client of his first.
Like....Rupert Murdoch ?

Lanvan shirts made for my father in the late 70's-early 80's
RJMan would agree.

You see, the problem Vox is that your unwilling to travel and since Boston is such a bastardized town for sartorial standards (see Borrelli store thread) there aren't many tailors willing to travel there. Hence why you choose these strange shirtmakers that no-body has dealt with. You should just pick whomever you wan't and pay to fly them to Boston? I'm imagining the scene in Thomas Crown (the remake) were Brosnan is getting fitted in his office by Campagna while ordering Miso soup.

Is "short" a Freudian slip?

You take cruelty and snark to a new level even Tomasso could not have dreamed of. My hat is off to you.

I'm going to end up knowing a **** load more about shirts that I'll never be able to afford by the end of this thread.

Good read though. Hope Vox finds something to his satisfaction. It will be interesting to view the results. Or will we turn into pillars of salt if we look upon thee?

I am saying they are equally relevant.

No. Because I'm at work. Sent the link home for later viewing, in private. Damn you.

Yeah, that really hurt. I ask that mods rename that smiley to the jamesbond, since the torch has been passed.
