Yes. The sleeves were replaced after a few wears and washes (I took some time to find out if they were too short) and the hems of my later shirts are longer.

Blog of his son Amir (who cut the collars of these shirts): http://ettemadis.blogspot.com/


Just browsed a bit on their website and blog; have you had anything else made by them (in addition to shirts)?

I like the seam on top of the shoulders, and I don't feel restrictions. I have changed several things since that shirt, but not the shoulders, I think. So, no need to worry, fritzl...

Hehe. You'll never see the gauntlet button: I'll always wear a jacket or roll up my sleeves.

i reserve this as running gag for me.

honestly, give the "Wiener Manschette" a try next time. you still can wear it as you're used to and the second hole is "invisible" like the gauntlet, promised.
