I am thinking of buying several shirts from Modern Tailor. I have searched and read many threads on here about this, but would like a refresher and some clarifications if possible please.
1). I really like the idea of a different color under the collar and cuffs. Should the color of the inside fabric be roughly the same as the shirt collar? I think contrasting colors would look really neat, but don't know if it's some kind of a fashion faux pas since I've never seen that in real life.
2). I understand Modern Tailor accounts for shrinkage by making the shirt slightly larger originally; however, I've read several horror stories on here. Those who have ordered recently, do you order a slightly larger size?
3). I understand that generally speaking, the two-ply fabrics are better than single ply. However, others have noted that some single ply fabrics are actually a better quality than other two ply fabrics and that it's a bit of a hit-and-miss. Are the single ply shirts really that bad? I would like them to last two years (wearing each shirt every two weeks or so before changing them). What about Oxford fabrics? I think these are built differently than regular two ply fabrics, so is it okay to get an oxford that is a single ply?
4). Is it okay if the buttons match the color of the shirt (I am getting the MOP buttons).
Thank you all so much!
