Tailored shirts are your best bet for fit. However unless you know where to get them they can be difficult to find. Therefore you spend time dealing with ready-made fit considering that's what 95% of the people are going to buy.Even though a haberdasher like myself can be hard to find, when I hear of people spending over $100 on ready-made shirts from the store (or $65 fir that matter) a small piece of me cries out, "WHY?" I understand that some designers who charge more are actually delivering better fabrics and fit for the individual they are targeting. However, the fit is still primarily dependant on two things: neck size & sleeve length. That's pretty much it unless you can find their version of an athletic fit.Custom tailored shirts take 18 measurements into consideration and dozens of options for shirt features. What does this mean? When you go to the store you have to first find your size, then you can peruse the fabrics. When I come to my clients, I bring hundreds of fabrics that will all fit so it is merely a matter of finding the fabrics you love.That is what shopping should be.My Best, Jeff Collins Professional Haberdasher www.MyHaberdasher.com I’m really enjoying your website because you tell it like it is.
