Hi Guys,

Where is a good place to get good value tailor made shirts in Sydney (around $100-$150AU)? And what material is best for wrinkle resistance and hot weather (I know it's currently winter here but I hate sweating in a shirt in summer)?

I understand wool is a lot better than cotton in terms of staying clean but most shirts seem to be made out of cotton, why is this?

Cotton is much easier to care for, and most wool is a lot rougher against the skin than cotton. Cotton is also much cheaper.
