    Questions about "luxury" shirting

    I have know Jack and Ken for many years. First rate shirtmakers and individuals. I even knew Nat Wise who was the top shirtmaker in Los Angeles. Before anto purchased that business. I guess I am more of a minimalist in my work. I would have just made the Italian collar without the distracting...

    Nice, but not very bold. Of course the mills don't go to wild with high count fabrics

    Questions about "luxury" shirting

    I was not aware that propercloth was selling a shirt from TM Hampton for $300. That is no bargain .. if it was in the low 200 it would be a bargain. At $295. They have a very good margin.

    Questions about "luxury" shirting

    There are plenty of excellent shirtmakers out there. Unfortunately, most shirts are made in factories that maximize efficiency over quality. There are some very expensive brands selling garments of mediocre construction. I would have to see a shirt in person to give opinions.

    Questions about "luxury" shirting

    It would upset their loyal base of custom shirtmakers. Most shirt makers charge $300 + for a shirt made usung alumo fabrics. Proper cloth will then sell a medicore construted shirt for less then $200. Alumo is then no longer a luxury brand. I don't follow the product line of proper cloth. I...

    Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

    Different ideas of vintage. Also how you will wear the shirt. I envisioned worn with a suit. The large bold stripes are very casual. Thomas Mason/Albini usually has some seasonal fashion stripes. Testa has a seasonal book with Interesting stripes. Most are distributed to brands not...
