Does anyone know of a place in SD where I can get custom shirts made, by using an old shirt as a pattern?

I have a Theory dress shirt that fits perfectly, but at $185 retail I can't spring for a week's worth. Ideally I'd find someone who could copy it in a decent fabric for $75-$100 per shirt. Any ideas? I know there is a guy on Girard in La Jolla, but his prices go from $95 to over $200.

Thanks!

Why not send it to moderntailor.com and have them copy it exactly?

Think it's better to send the shirt itself or just try and measure it really well?
