I took my dad to a mytailor fitting for fathers day and had a couple of shirts made and they came back with a pretty good fit needing only a slight alteration or two. He does admit though he enjoys his lands end custom shirt more though oddly enoughOriginally Posted by surfnbank

Ive only had one shirt made by mytailor, but was surprised to see that the jantzen and modern tailor shirts I had made with my own trial and error system came out better than the mytailor shirt measured by their tailor/salesman.Originally Posted by brittain
Just got my first shirt from Modern Tailor - first non-special tailored shirt that fits me well. I do have one issue: when I raise my arms, a divot appears above my arm and before the shoulder seam. Do I need to shrink the armhole or shrink the shoulder measurement? (Shoulder seam is right where my arm begins to slope down, should it be closer in?)Originally Posted by vilinx
Has anyone ever purchased the fabric book (sample swatches) for $25? How is it? Supposedly, three $10 coupons are included with the purchase.Originally Posted by lim's

Reason I'm posting these pictures is because I hope someone considering Modern Tailor will find them useful. I'm new to buying tailored shirts, so some of the terminology I wasn't familiar with. So, I tried to do research before I spent $50-100, and I wanted to find pictures from other guys that have bought from MT (not just pictures of folded shirts, as they show you on MT's website). But unfortunately, few guys that have bought from MT have bothered to post pictures. As you're ordering a shirt on MT's website, when you get to the part when it asks you what kind of collar you want, it's quite obvious that the images are not accurate representations of what the collars really look like. And the names of the collars aren't really helpful, because I learned that "cutaway" and "wide spread" can mean different things from different shirt-makers. So, the first shirt I ordered was a "wide spread", thinking that I would get a collar like the one in my pictures. And I was wrong. The "wide spread" is one of those super-wide spread, where the collar point is way back. Of course, part of it was my own stupidity. If you go to their website's "shirt showcase" there's pictures of shirts other customers had ordered. But, to my defense, how the shirt looks when it's folded, versus someone actually wearing it, are two different things. And when you click on a shirt that you like, to read its specifics, it doesn't say whether it's a small cutaway, medium cutaway, or large cutaway. It just says "cutaway". And sometimes it's hard to differentiate between large and medium. So, I gave it a second try. I looked at lots and lots of shirts on MT's "shirt showcase" and decided to order a large cutaway. I just received it, I tried it on, and it was perfect. I am very happy with this shirt, and the Large Cutaway collar is exactly what I wanted. The measurements I used are from an old shirt from Express Men that fits me perfectly, except for the fact that my neck is thicker now than it was then. So I measured the Express shirt with exactness, except that my neck size is now 17, so I entered "17" for neck size. And the fit is perfect. The quality of the shirt is top notch. Everything from the seams to the fabric is perfect. I ordered a good-quality two ply fabric that was on sale...it feels like good quality fabric and it breathes (which is good because I sweat very easily). I ordered the Thick MOP buttons, because I don't like cheap-looking buttons. I was willing to pay an extra $5 for them. Even the quality of the collar is far better than the off-the-rack Hilfiger and Hugo Boss shirts that I bought a few months ago. I ordered the stiffness of the collar (or "collar lining") to be "common" (as opposed to "soft" or "stiff"), which I expected to be the same as my off-the-rack shirts. It actually turned out to be much stiffer than the collars on my off-rack shirts, and that's fine because I really like that. It's perfect, and if I had ordered the "stiff" I probably wouldn't be able to wear a tie. This is also good news for when you want to wear the collar unbuttoned/without a tie. The collar stays nice and stiff. So, it's very, very good quality. I'm very happy with my second purchase from MT. And BTW, I'm donating those off-the-rack shirts from Tommy Hilfiger and Hugo Boss. They're waaay too big in the mid-section, even the "slim fit" Hilfiger shirt is way too big.
