I was in a store called Tokyu Department store and came across a shop that sells bespoke shirts. They had certain fabrics on sale for $i6, 200 YEN for 2 shirts. That comes out to roughly $65USD per shirt at he conversion rate.. You had to buy at least 2 shirts to get the special price.

They had to call someone to help translate for us but they took measurements and all and said shirts would be ready after March 9. My cousin will be there again for business so he will pick up the shirts. Now, collar and cuff options are not plentiful and the fabrics designs are not the best but they had a few nice ones and some really nice ones not on sale.

They had no English name nor any business cards but they were located were the tailored clothing were on the 2nd floor near a corner. They were located next t oa shop called "Next tailoring" or something like that. Funny thing is, that Next Taiiloring had bespoke suits on sale for USD equivalent of !$300-$400. Am I dreaming or is this some crappy tailoring thing?
