I'm looking for a MTM shirtmaker in the DC area to start doing my shirts MTM. I've read posts recommending certain people (Fields for example), but for suits or alternations.
I've haven't heard any mention on how these people are for shirts. I would like someone that is an experienced shirtmaker and hopefully doesn't cost too much.

Field's will do measuring and such and send your order out, I believe to Geneva, but I could be wrong. I haven't used Field's myself, but I have admired the shirts that Mr. Field Jr. wears on a number of occassions.

Yep. Geneva is correct.

I think Highcliffe Clothiers (On 19th or 20th between I and K, I believe) uses Individualized Shirts.

I'll check out Highcliffe, but is Geneva good quality as well?
