[bronco7777]

I'd like to get a custom made....slim fit shirt..... in Atlanta. Can you guys make some suggestions for me on shirt makers/tailors in Atlanta. Thanks

Go to Sid Mashburn. I don't think they do full bespoke, but they can customize around their standard offerings, which are quite good.

I've never been to Sid Mashburn, but from what I've read, I'm sure that they should be your first stop. They are sure to have some sort of good MTM program on offer, and would likely be happy to point you in the direction of the reliable bespoke tailors in town.

As already said, Sid. Also, there's Miller Brothers, Hong Kong Tailors (no idea if they're any good), Guffey's, and a few others that turned up in a forum search. Most you'll find will be MTM and not full bespoke. Mario's old shop might still do bespoke shirts, but I'm not sure.

I think Mario's shop does full bespoke, I doubt Mario does anything himself anymore,he is probably too old. There is a guy named Teo who does bespoke suits and shirts,although,I wasn't impressed by his work,looked at a few things. Prices are pretty high too, suits are $3K and shirts must be in the $300 range.

Mario's prices usually are a bit high, at least they seem that way to me. And I think Teo is Mario's old apprentice, or at least worked at the shop before Mario left. For full bespoke though, I don't think that $3,000 is that bad for a suit you can stop in and watch being made.

Another option might be J. Harrington at the Forum in Peachtree Corners (Gwinnett). Though I haven't used them, I understand they have a MTM shirting program and - at least based on the examples being worn by the guys working there - the quality/fit seems ok.

Another vote for Sid. I have a couple of shirts and love them. Lenox BB also does MTM.

Just because you can watch it being made doesn't mean it's worth the price. I think that his suits aren't worth $3K,for half the price,I'd give them a try but not for $3K.

What are the prices like on MTM shirts at Sid Mashburn? Trying to decide whether it's better to go online MTM, OTR and then altered from somewhere less expensive but still acceptable quality (e.g. BB), or in-person MTM.

I've been seeing a lot of Mario recently - lots of alterations of new suits etc. etc.

He's 74, which isn't all that terribly old. And I keep thinking I want to give him a shot at a full bespoke. But for some reason just can muster up the trust.......not that I have any problems with his alterations or experience.........can't seem to put my finger on it.............................He did hand sew some wonderful buttonholes for me on jacket cuffs......but of course that is far from a full on bespoke suit.
