I have become completely fed-up with the fit of OTR shirts and have decided to purchase a few MTM shirts from Mytailor.com I have been perusing SF for about 6 months now and have decided that I know enough to make that move forward even though I really shouldn't pay that much.
I briefly contemplated Jantzen, but it seems that (from the forum) one in three is satisfied, one in three is dissatisfied, and one in three is categorically against them.
I also contemplated local bespoke/MTM. There are two places, both seem to be about $150 a shirt which I decided was just too much for a lowly broke person like me.
So two-ply cottons from Mytailor seem to be just about right at ~$85 per shirt with shipping.
Because I won't need these shirts for work, they are merely for weekends and after work hours, I only need between 4 to 6 shirts for now. I plan on getting pretty much basics: solid blue, simple stripe, simple checks large, simple checks small, all button-down collars for wear under jackets.
So I guess my real question is how easy will it be for them to get the fit down? Should I order in batches of twos so that I can give advice for fixing the pattern or should I hope that they get it right the first time and order four at once?
I don't have anything too complicated, and I do have a few shirts that fit quite well which I could measure then ask for a few small changes.
