Thanks WSO for putting me onto the modern tailor site.

i forgot banana republic when
i forgot banana republic when i was about 17 so no problem there.
I have read very mixed reviews on moderntailor...
slim fit at brooks
slim fit at brooks brothers....have you tried their new extra slim fit? It came out last year. once you wear it, you won't go back (unless you become too fat to wear it of course). I just got in 3 whites and have 6 more coming in.
I ordered some CT shirts and
I ordered some CT shirts and am very pleased. I have also read mixed reviews. Mytailor.com is similar.
Banana Republic shirts blow hard. I have a handful of them and they are ill fitting and irritating.

Basically custom made for your measurements type of shirts and you design the shirt.
The answer to your question is 1) network 2) get involved 3) beef up your resume 4) repeat -happypantsmcgee
WSO is not your personal search function.
I ordered the brooks brother
I ordered the brooks brother extra slim fits, they are VERY slim, but they look kind of awkward on me. They are too tight in the midsection/chest and the taper of the shirt wasn't proportional on my body because I am about 5' 6" and have a more athletically proportioned frame.
As far as the Modern Tailor shirt goes, the sample shirt (the $30 deal or whatever) is very thin fabric (but I expected that for a cheap sample). The number of collar/cuff/buttons/cut options are ridiculous, you can literally design any shirt style you want (careful not to get carried away haha)
.I measured myself according to their visual guides and it came out damn near perfect. I chose the slim fit option, but I would advise taking 1/2-3/4 inch more off of the wrist size and maybe 1" more off of the bicep size (only because I like the slimmer more fitted cut through the arms).
I ordered a blue oxford shirt today with the modifications mentioned above and also the fabric swatch.
But best of all, I've never been able to pull of the "jeans with a tucked in button up look" because of my short torso, but with this fit of shirt it looks proper and not all goofy (no billowing in the back and excessive shirt overhang).
I think if the next shirt that I get comes in on point, I might pick up 5-10 more. But now that I've had a taste of MTM, I can't go back to any other retail shit.
Anyone know a decent place for MTM slacks? Let me know. Thanks.

Why would you buy shirts off
Why would you buy shirts off a website when you can go to a human tailor who can make them for you...??

because a human tailor makes them for you as well off a website, unless i'm really behind in web design software, except you dont have to leave your chair to do it, or waste 2 hours of your life.
MTM = Made-to-Measure. You
MTM = Made-to-Measure. You may want to check indochino.com too, they're also iffy in terms of reviews. Most large cities have bespoke shirtmakers... expect to pay $150-300 depending on fabric. Most require a minimum purchase too but can be worth it.

Only a human tailor actually works with you and can actually make something to your body rather than just guess from a few measurements. Also, have fun fucking packaging shirts and mailing them back if you need any other work done.
But hey, I bet you like to say you have a "custom-made" shirt.

MTM is a lot different than
MTM is a lot different than bespoke. I would shelve the cock sucker attitude. I inquired on custom shirts in Philadelphia and I got quoted at $200+ a shirt, 3 shirt minimum. Pretty expensive for something I typically beat up. Modern Tailor will give you a better fitting shirt than off the rack at a slight premium to off the rack prices. Pretty good deal if you ask me.

Definitely agree with this... I like made to measure shirts for this exact reason. They fit better than an off the rack shirt will, but I don't feel like dropping $600 to get 3 shirts when I get get 3 that are well fit to me for around $100. I wear shirts over and over so it doesn't make a whole lot of sense for me to be dropping big bills on bespoke. That's just my take... they are comfortable and functional, and I'm not in a position yet where I need to be overspending on anything just for the sake of a label...
