Company that accepts body measurements online for MTM shirts?

[cerulean_haecceity]

Is there a reputable company that makes made to measure shirts and accepts measurements (at least for collar size, sleeve length AND CHEST) online?

I prefer one based in Europe, but I need one that can deliver to Hong Kong.

I would like to send my body measurements to the company online (either through a website or through email) and also choose the fabric, collar type, etc. online.

Someone from the US is also okay. I know Brooks Brothers have this facility, but the measures are not fully customizable. For example, I cannot input chest measurements. The only customizable features are the collar size and sleeve length.

I want a really high quality shirt costing not more than $500 per shirt.

I know some companies require a minimum number of made to measure shirts. I don't mind.

At $500 a shirt why don't you buy a plane ticket to visit a decent tailor who will make an actual pattern for you?

I tend to agree.
Take a holiday to England or France and visit one of the Jermyn St shirtmakers in London or visit Charvet in Paris.

Alternatively, you could go to Tokyo, or you could even stay at home, as there are plenty of shirtmakers in HK.

I don't know any "high end" shirtmakers who accept measurements online as most "high end" shirtmakers prefer to see their customers in person, at least the first time. However, if you do want to order shirts online, you could always investigate the following:

Jantzen Tailor (in HK):
http://www.jantzentailor.com/

Tailorstore:
http://www.tailorstore.au.com/fabrics/business

Nialma shirts:
http://www.nialma.com/

Or, you could try "myTailor" (Joe Hemrajani), as recommended by the author of the blog "A Suitable Wardrobe":
http://www.mytailor.com/

The blog post by Will of A Suitable Wardrobe is here:
http://asuitablewardrobe.dynend.com/...r-returns.html

Hemrajani looks to have some lovely cloth, with prices for shirts make of some fabrics (such as superfine Albini fabric) reaching up to $379.

I hope that this helps. But really, if you're willing to pay that much, fly somewhere and get yourself measured in person...

Personally I like tailorstore.com, there's also Jantzen who I havn't tried and MyTailor who I've had less than satisfactory shirts from although they seem liked by others on the forum. I'm not sure whether any of these will produce shirts of $500 quality though, you should really be getting measured in person if you're spending that much.

your idea is fine for a shirt for under $100, but anything over $100, you s hould be measured by someone who knows what they are doing.

There's this place, which offers many hand finishing options. http://www.belisariocamicie.it/en (I'm yet to use their services).

Hamilton Shirts just initiated such a program with many Thomas Mason fabrics. I haven't tried it yet, but given the very high quality of the shirts I may give it a shot.

I was thrilled with my Jantzentailor shirt. $58 shipped from HK - three weeks from order to receipt in US. Quality of fabric was great. Thick MOP buttons. About a brazillion different measurements and choices, e.g. 20 or so collar styles, multiple cuff options, plackets, etc...

My only prior experience was with BB semi-custom, but the shirt I received was, at $58.00, worth at least twice the $160.00 (or so) I paid for the BB shirts I have been wearing for years.

If you are intrigued, there are multiple Jantzen threads on this forum.

If you contact Barrett at TaylorStitch.com, they can do a made to copy program where they take measurements off your favorite shirts and modify accordingly. Also if you are very familiar with measuring the shirt yourself, you can specify which dimensions to make the shirt to. I am waiting on my shirt from him, I believe in a Thomas Mason cloth but I can't really remember exactly what I ordered. Cost is around $150-230 or so and is default with thick mother of pearl from what I was told. I'll probably post results when the shirt arrives, expected turn around is about a month.

Marks and Spencer do made to measure shirts online for between £30 and £55. I may be lucky but I find these fit my body shape well, it is based on one of those biometric programs and it may work for you too.

Thanks everyone for your useful inputs.

I will research more about your suggested shirtmakers.

Culverwood: I know about Marks and Spencer, but they don't ship to Hong Kong.

I read that in their website.

By the way, I'm not from Hong Kong. I just want to have the shirts delivered there because Hong Kong is quite lenient with custom duties. I'll have the shirts delivered to my friend there, who will then ship the items to me here in the Philippines.

Flying out abroad is not really an option for me. I've got lots of work (and I'm only 24!).
