here's my shirt from de-catano:
      there was basically still a small pucker on the shoulders and he will still attempt to get rid of it.. the sleeves were a little too short, needed to lengthen about .5 inch, and i wanted the left cuff to cover my watch when buttoned.. the tailor said he'd redo the entire sleeve.. so its basically still a work in process.. do leave your comments  |

This is how a dress shirt should fit. I won't get this from Fit&Match either. I will get something very similar to yours. AL is my only resort if I want something like this.

But the former is making me snicker for some reason.  This post has been edited by netmatrix: Jan 5 2010, 01:08 AM |

Or is it just at photo time.. no.. its because the left sleeve is held up by the watch.. which is why i told the tailor i want the left cuff a tad bigger, so it would cover my watch..This post has been edited by jind86: Jan 5 2010, 02:47 AM |

The outcome's pretty nice overall. I think I would most definitely give them a try in the future. How long did it took, by the way?

QUOTE(kotmj @ Dec 29 2009, 01:52 AM) I had a very successful interview this morning, so I thought of giving myself a treat by getting myself a bespoke shirt. do post up a picture after you got your shirtI went to Fit & Match at The Curve. I had a conversation with Ron, the proprietor, for 1.5 hours as he measured me up and discussed details with me. This is an intense man who has very definite ideas of what constitutes fit. He has 3 price categories of shirts. RM 150 for cotton and polyester mix, RM 200 for Super 100 2-ply, and RM 220 for Super 120 2-ply. I went for the middle category. This shirt will be 100% "Made in The Curve" because Ron and his brother makes everything in-house, including the collars and cuffs. He has a RM 20K collar fusing machine in the workshop at the back (visible). If it wasn't so late now I would write more. He gave me an overview of the Malaysian tailoring landscape. It was very interesting. Most of it is confidential though, because he is disgusted by some big name tailoring houses (he told me why), including those mentioned here on this forum. My shirt will not be of standard confection. I am not however allowed to tell people the special features he will give me. It's interesting he cuts the collar lining on the bias so that it is more elastic. He is still waiting for a customer who will walk in the door and ask for a hand-stitched shirt. He is itching to do one. (I told him I'm not liquid enough for that.) i've spoken to Ron too and I think he is quite a friendly guy who willing to talk to a total newbie in tailoring. can't wait to make my first shirt with him! |

I told you right at the beginning he will not be able to alter most of the misfits without recutting a new shirt. This is not rocket science. It's so simple. I, too, have no training in shirtmaking or tailoring or whatever. If you need a wider cuff, where on earth is the excess fabric going to come from?!!! A longer sleeve: Is there sufficient inlay? This is simple stuff. It's just cloth, folded and sewn.
Added on January 6, 2010, 11:27 pmEvery day, members of my project team deal with stuff 100X more complicated than this. Most of it with success. This post has been edited by kotmj: Jan 6 2010, 11:27 PM |

So, how did my small town grandma tailor perform?

Just 3 buttons on the fly? Meh. You're still far from my 14 buttons(6 for suspenders, 2 inner waistband, 4 for sidetabs, 2 for back pockets) per pair record. im calvinloke.
That waistband looks a tad huge I'd say. |
