Great shirts, great people!

by ralmet at Citysearch

This hidden gem is a well-dressed man's best friend. I have always worn custom shirts (

and I'm not easy to please or fit) so finding a shop that fit both my style and my expectations was great. From their terriffic selection of fabrics to their attention to fit - this shop is tops. Even though the off-the-rack shirt was a winner on me, I splurged on the custom made and couldn't have been happier. The staff is very knowlegeable and goes out of their way to serve you. It's well worth the drive to Midtown.

• Pros: Ambience and personal attention
• Cons: Finding the alley to the parking lot

Nice Selection Of Fabrics! Finished Product Only So-So!

by jaymaygm at Citysearch

Ordering a custom made shirt can be a tricky thing. This little shop in Midtown, has a great selection of fabrics for a custom made shirt. I picked out my fabric, style and hoped the finished product would be perfect. I am a little overweight around the middle, by ten llbs., but when I picked up my finished product, I looked like I was wearing a tent. The finished product was poorly put together at the seams, and the fabric did not meet correctly. I knew the down fall of custom made clothing, but I knew this is a little small independent shop, who sends their work out, so I accepted it, and learned a valuable lesson. Only go to custom stores with a good reputation, and a good client list.

• Pros: Nice Selection Of Fabrics!
• Cons: Poor Finished Product! Expensive Lesson!
