Is Proper Cloth worth it for work shirts? Any other made to measure shirt tailors you’d recommend?

Yes. You can choose some good quality fabrics and get hyper specific on measurements, cut and collar options. Proper Cloth is a good option if your size or tastes are anything non standard. I think Kamakura is even better from a
quality and value perspective if you're ok with a narrower range of styles and fabrics and you're ok with their Japanese sizing.

Haven’t tried Proper Cloth. I use Tom James for my custom shirts and they’re great quality.

100% - I have 5 made to measure shirts from them. Made some adjustment after the first one but very minimal. Had my sister in law measure me she did a great job.

You can also find one that fits great and buy a bunch. The Calvin Klein no iron slim Steel+ fits like it was custom fit, great feel, and much less than tailored.

Fits you like a custom fit. I’ve never found anything that fits me anywhere near custom without heavy tailoring.
I have my BB Milano (slim fit) taken in a bunch around the waist. I have fairly broad shoulders and a big chest (though not as big as 10 years ago), so nothing I’ve ever found fits me right. Either the shoulders are way too tight or I feel like I have a tent’s worth of extra fabric around the waist.

I have a tailor who makes sure his services are easy on the wallet (hard to come by) so I would LOVE to find a shirt that would generally fit my stature (I'm a slim fit 13 1/2 - 14") so I can adjust it to my proportions.

I would look to Kamakura. Japanese = great options for smaller sizes.

My old employer asked me if I wanted to come back to the company as a manager. The pay will likely be much better and the position holds more responsibility than I’ve had before, so overall it would be a step up.

I’m torn because the opportunity is great but the stress was awful. Continued in comments…

There’s no reason you have to put up with a job you hate. I spent many years working in a toxic environment with a boss who gossiped and lead through fear. He wasn’t really much of a leader but basically a foreman. And he could make my existence miserable. I admit that it wasn’t easy to find another job but the bottom line is: trust your guts. If you feel something is wrong it’s because it probably is. Don’t second guess yourself. Look for options and and fight for your mental health.

Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with discrimination as an Asian in the workplace? In my company it seems like it’s a white boys club where and they just promote white ppl because they’re white. And then they have a lower bar for promotions for minorities (traditional minorities likes Hispanics and African Americans). Meanwhile they make Asians do all the work. I am not generalizing that this is how it is everywhere but it definitely is that way in my workplace. Any advice?
