Hi everyone,

Tomorrow is my first meeting with a shirtmaker/shirt manufacturer (the shirtmaker owns a factory producing large quantities of shirts and is frequently used by well regarded tailors).

I am providing my own fabric and buttons as well as my measurements.

What are some of the details I should look out for (in terms of quality and workmanship)? I would presume details such as the quality of fusing (for collars and cuffs) is important to look out for.

Please share with me what you think might be details one tends to overlook or even more obvious details such as stitching quality or spacing of buttons.

Any input will be greatly appreciated.
