MyTailor (Hemrajani Bros.) Appreciation/Discussion Thread

[edinatlanta]

If wearing a suit makes one happy or feel good, why is that putting on airs? Isn't that attitude (feeling out of place) a reaction to perceived peer pressure to conform to a cultural norm? I regularly wear a suit to work and stand out like a sore thumb.

To me (and this is purely personal to illustrate how two people can have completely the inverse views on things like this) putting a monogram on a shirt is putting on an air.

What I mean, more than putting on airs is closer to what you were saying that because there is no reason to wear a suit any more outside of a few formal situations. And when we do so otherwise it really is a way of trying to attract attention to ourselves. Whether that's a reaction to peer pressure or something else, I don't know for me. Maybe it's easier to wear a suit than to have a personality.

I don't really know the right way to articulate what I'm getting at and at least, with monograms, they're small enough to be not noticed or covered up.


Two weeks ago I lost two shirts. Hopefully my monogram will help me find them....

I guess what I'm saying is these aren't the same as getting a peaked-lapel, single-breasted pink houndstooth tweed coat made up. (Which, you may recall, an infamous poster wanted to do for his first bespoke project circa 2009).

You should get TAP on one sleeve and ASS on the other.

Certainly true in my case.

Wow. That sucks. I think losing two shirts would cause me to switch cleaners. I hope you recover them.

 

[tigerpac]

I've never had a shirt switched. I suppose it can happen, but is it a common thing?

Not often thankfully, but it has happened with two different local dry cleaners over the years.

I think i might've left them in a hotel though so...

Perhaps, then, your monogram ought to include your full name and address?

I am considering buying a 100 % cotton wrinkle free shirt from my tailor.
How do these compare in terms of quality of materials and construction to ledbury, Ben silver and gitman ?

when MTM goes wrong

Contrast cuffs and inside the placket? Jesus Christ. That guy deserved that fit because at least that unprepossessing abortion will never be worn in public.

and he is planning to wear it for a night out lol as soon as I saw the sleeves, I'd return the abomination and ask for my refund

 

[beargonefishing]

In the tailor defense, I doubt he ever thought the person ordering it would button the cuffs. It actually looks like it fits exactly how someone ordering that shirt would want it to fit.
