    Alex Kabbaz Shirts: Worth the money?

    You're right, Thracozaag, that the Royal Collection is very nice. I think that shirts made from Royal Collection fabrics approach $500.

    Alex Kabbaz Shirts: Worth the money?

    Manton's right. Only the NYC(and maybe West Palm Beach) Borrelli boutique has a minimum MTM order of 6 shirts. I think that through other Borrelli retailers(e.g. Saks) you should be able to order MTM with no minimum.

    Alex Kabbaz Shirts: Worth the money?

    Steve: I think that someone noted that even the RTW shirts at the Borrelli boutique are cut somewhat slimmer.

    Mark Christopher

    No experience with the man. Don't know of quality, but some time back someone posted on AA that when he was on vacation in Florida he was able to get an appointment with Mark Lingley since Lingley was also in Florida on vacation. Apparently Lingley told him that business was going through a...

    Alias: perhaps some brass knuckles to go with the brass buckles?

    Horizontal buttons

    Sorry Alex - I suppose the shirtmaker family tree is of little interest to most members. It definitely gets convoluted and a little confusing. Your client's complaint about the last button - hilarious.

    Hunt & Winterbotham still exists as part of Huddersfield Fine Worsteds.  Sadly, HFW seems to be in some kind of trouble and is up for sale.  The fabric merchants J & J Minnis and John G. Hardy are part of HFW, as is Martin & Sons, one of the mills which weaves Escorial. Hopefully...

    Underarm deodorant stains on a dark shirt

    On the flip side, as FIHTies said, you do have to be careful with the customer who demands a free replacement because of something stupid he did, or something accidental which was not in any way due to a defect of the product.

    Underarm deodorant stains on a dark shirt

    Maybe inform your customers ahead of time that using aluminum-based anti-perspirants tends to leave (possibly permanent) underarm stains? Alex Kabbaz may know some way of removing underarm stains - he has been making shirts for quite some time now. Alex, I swear I'm not calling you old.

    Underarm deodorant stains on a dark shirt

    One could maybe use the same deodorant/anti-persperant without causing underarm stains if he allows it to dry fully before putting on his undershirt and then his shirt. Maybe drying takes a little time, so get up a few minutes earlier and budget the precious little time you have before you have...

    Maybe you could shed a little light on this, Alex, and verify or correct as necessary what I am writing: The Individualized Apparel Group owns Skip Gambert. http://www.gambert.com L. Gambert is a separate company owned by other members of the Gambert family. http://www.gambertshirts.com Harold...

    Shoes outside the usual suspects

    Apparently Perry Ercolino no longer goes to New York regularly and works out of his place in Doylestown. Mr.Ercolino used to meet clients at Leonard Logsdail's shop.

    The tom james experience

    I have no personal experience...but judging from the posts of some of those who do, the Tom James reps are salespeople, and just that. There's nothing with being a salesperson, but ultimately you may find that if/when something goes wrong, getting it fixed by them may be a frustrating...

    Is the Custom Shop's NJ factory still operating?

    Horizontal buttons

    Good point, Alex. It makes sense that little differences like a horizintal bottom buttonhole on the center front would make more of a difference on RTW shirts meant to fit the general population than on any true custom shirt.

    http://www.startupjournal.com/ideas/...607-stout.html http://www.findarticles.com/p/articl...v75/ai_5079202 As usual Spencer Hays/Individualized made an attempt to buy. So the latest incarnation(refer to top article) of The Custom Shop has failed as well?
