All of my work shirts are from there. My recommendation is go slowly - chances are your first few attempts will be noticeably off. They’ll remake once or twice for you but I’ve ordered in batches of two and tweaked measurements each time. In my experience the <$80 fabrics are not worth it and ~$100 is the sweet spot

I get my casual button downs from them. Same experience as BCG1, it took a couple iterations to get it right. But once you get there it’s great

What BCG said. Some shirts from there are outstanding - fabric, how they wear, etc. I’ve really liked the “Mayfair” fabrics as an example which is in that 100 area that BCG mentioned

Dry cleaning only? Or do they wrinkle easily?

Not necessarily - depends on shirt fabric. Non irons or wrinkle resistant (often Wr on site) do not

Agree that most made-to-measure takes a few cycles of refinement, but sometimes they nail it on the first try. Keep in mind that perfectly tailored cheap fabric looks like...cheap fabric. Step up and get something that makes a great impression

Hello Folks, Due to very toxic environment I had put down paper w/o having any offer. Fortunately, within 2 weeks of NP I cleared interviews for almost 4-5 organisations. All HR, had said that in last month of NP they'll release an offer, just so that I won't have a counter offer. Now, almost 2 weeks are left for NP to end, and surprisingly all of them are ignoring my mails, calls and texts. Please suggest. I'm losing patience as I was looking for switch since April 2022. @
