Yellow Hook Appreciation Thread

[Newcomer]

Just picked up one of the pinpoint dress shirts. For about $100, I figured it would be worthwhile to take the risk. Measurements look accurate, and the collar looks wonderful.

When the fit is on, it looks GREAT, especially the BD collar. I tried two, and was highly impressed, but couldn't come close fit wise.

Thankfully, they found their way to a closet far more stylish than mine (UC).

Really cool review. Rob, any ability to speak on the MTO program? The spread collar is pretty tempting, but there's absolutely no chance I can fit the collar (17" or so) on a RTW shirt that fits my body fairly well.

Rob's working on an MTO for me at the moment. I look forward to letting you know how it goes.

How is this article the first time I'm noticing that SF members get a 15% discount? Not that the prices have ever been anything other than fair, but that would have been useful information!

Excellent. Good luck on it, and please do provide details when able.

From looking at it, I'd need a Franken-combo of YH 5/3/1 lol.

It should be easy. I sent a shirt to copy, they're making a test shirt in a first fabric (less scarce), we'll tweak the fit if needed, and then they'll make a shirt in a second fabric (only enough remaining fabric for a single shirt).

Ahh, that seems a much better course of action

That Rosso Plaid again. So money.

At a weekend wedding and brought almost all YH shirts for the trip. First look for the welcome party last night...

YH shirt and tie. Thought in the green tie with the green trousers?

Is that one of the streaky silks? Tie/Trew coloring looks fine to me.

What's the upcharge for this? I would need a frankenshirt as well. Trying to decide if it is worth exploring or just using my bespoke dress shirt guy for ocbd's, which cost is considerable.

Stupid review - summer pinpoint oxford sold out in YH#3 - makes me sad.

 

[Newcomer]

I'll let you know if it does not work for me.

 

[patrickBOOTH]

How much more $ does it cost though? If it doubles the price I'd just use my dress shirt guy.

 

[ericgereghty]

Patrick can verify better than I, but I believe it's ~$50.

I'm not 100% sure, it was a second hand pickup for me. Maybe Rob can comment in it.

Thanks for your input on the outfit too.
