After talking for the last few weeks with @TweedyProf about Hemrajani shirts (https://www.mytailor.com/) and knowing a few others (@GusW, @Andy57, @hangerproject (Kirby), etc.) on the thread use Joe regularly, we figured it was about time to start a proper thread. For me, it would be nice to see what fabrics you've liked and which ones you haven't, pictures of your customized collars, and just general advice for existing and potential customers.
I'll start....I've been wanting to give them a try for quite a while, but was adamant about being measured by Joe or one of his sons and not going the online route. I finally got a chance when I used my birthday as an excuse to make the four hour trek down south..."just to get measured for a work shirt", as the wife said. I was sure to wear a shirt I was pretty happy with fit wise that also had a collar I liked. I recommend everyone who gives them a shot does the same. I met with Divij (Joe was there, but we didn't talk) and he took his time checking and double checking measurements and discussing options/preferences with me. They also do a full set of bare chested photos for the first shirt so the factory can assess posture, shoulder shape/slope, etc. Once that was all done, I decided on a fairly heavy Somelo oxford cloth and their Italian spread collar with a slight modification to the front of the collar band. No fusing to the collar or cuffs. Some shots of the cloth and the showroom (my fault it was messy)
I just received my first shirt after a quick three week wait and I'm very happy. Some slight modifications needed to account for my jacked up shoulders/posture, but a very good starting point and comfort wise, it feels good. I can also highly recommend the cloth if you need a thick oxford. I also really like how the collar turned out, although I plan on slightly raiser the front collar height. Pictures have been sent in for them to evaluate (I'd like to drive back down, but that won't happen for a while) and I plan on ordering a couple more (lightweight blue "Misty Surf" and white Monti oxford) very soon.
