I agree with you on the low/loose thing. Manton's shirts are pretty much perfect, especially considering he and I both are tall and have long necks. This is the benefit of bespoke, which I hope to get some done eventually - I just cant find the time to go get started. Hence, Im relegated to RTW that I can source online which are completely fine by me (even though I recognize they are a click or two away from where they should be) until I get some customs.Originally Posted by SpooPoker
My only double banger is a Tom Ford, which feels like its massaging my Adams apple its so high :

Argh - that is an awful shirt. Sorry Spoo
Spoo: why haven't you tried MTM shirts (online or local)? Guys like Hemrajani are quite competant and reasonable, and, like Vox, I think you could get better collars and certainly much slimmer / better-fitting cuffs.

Absolutely, I want to get one done - My problem is just time. Ive been saying for a long time I would love to get to CEGO to do some shirts up. I just work all the damn time or am watching the kid when the wife works... so tough for me to find some time to actually get off ****** and get it done. I will soon though, as I have plans
I also just picked up a batch of Will from ASW's Simmonot Godard chambray, so that will probably force me to get up and get it taken care of.
Spoo what tie is that? Meaning who makes that chocolate tie?Originally Posted by badsha
Thanks badsha - this one is a Peter Millar 7 fold. Amazingly well constructed, all by hand.

This is a fantastic development! Carl is really sweet on that SG chambray. I'll be stunned if he even charges you for making up shirts from it, he loves that Frenchy chambray so much.Originally Posted by voxsartoria

Did someone post something about keeping unbuttoned the last one while doing the knot ?Originally Posted by Rufino
I can't find it anymore...
No, I dont think so, I think the comment was folding the collar up and knotting the tie as high up as possible, then folding it down.
