Folded Up Shirt Appreciation

jmark · Jun 20, 2009

Miguel,
Thanks. Is there anyone I should avoid? You said that Andrea is the man, but what if I get measured by someone else?
I've had a bad experience with another shirtmaker. My regular guy was with another client on a particular visit, so was attended to by a different, obviously new, rep. He basically f'd up my whole order and I had to send everything back. It was a waste of my time and money.
Maybe the other member, (Gus?) could chime in and provide some insight. It would be really appreciated.

Thanks again

I disussed this with one of London shirtmakers.

According to him, Ringhart used to be made in India, but there were so many quality issues that now they place their orders in Italian mills.

Can someone from our knowledgable industry members confirm or deny this?

ordered these on 6th June, collected 25th June. Â£75 each. Usual price is Â£95 but there was a one day street festival in their area- their involvement was a promotional price

Take a look at how T&A's complicated patterns matched 100% at the front:

All the shirts in their catalogue are terrible. Bad collars,horrible patterns and cheapo looking.

I thought that T&B was top notch but looked like made in china in the 80s...

I love Borrelli,,,

Four relatively new bespoke shirts from Freddy Vandecasteele in Los Angeles.

In order - Alumo, Silverline, Goldine, the yellow one was from a different book (not sure).

Truly amazing work...

The last picture is an abridged version of my shirts: only Freddy V.

Always white in my experience - all mine are MTM.
