Modern Tailor.com review - my experience

It looks like you could take in the armhold measurement a bit, and the shoulder measurement by a hair. As you said the waist could come in a bit as well. Are the sleeves a bit short? It seems to be riding up high on the arm that's holding the camera.

You think the sleeves look long? I was actually thinking of shortening them a bit. when the cuffs are unbuttoned, and my arms are hanging straight down, the cuff end sits almost mid-palm.

Sleeves look good. I would not change the measurement.

 

[najpie]

Thanks folks. I'll keep the sleeves as they are, maybe take in the arm hole a hair and take the waist in by a couple inches.

Has anyone tried P174 or P175? These are 2-ply 100s fabrics that are on sale this week.

I would also be interested in this. FYI these are the two white fabrics on sale right now.
Does anyone know what the difference is between those two fabrics?

Looks like P175 is a finer weave than P174 but both a now out of stock.

And i was just going to order a few of these

Looks like I ordered the p175 just in time. I'll comment on it when it arrives.

What does 30m mean? That's what p175 was. P174 was 26m IIRC.

i can't find P175 on their website

I emailed them. The response was that "P174 is very very similar to P175, just 2 different suppliers. At the moment though, P175 has already sold out."

I went ahead and ordered a trial shirt about a week and a half ago and just received it today - that was quick! I used two shirts I own to base my measurements on and I have to say I'm very pleased with how this one fits. I could probably trim up a few areas a 1/4-1/2" for a real slim fit if I wanted but overall I'd give it at least a B+ in fit. As for quality of construction, not so much. There are some strange seams at the shoulder that worried me before the initial laundering but upon washing they have relaxed. This shirt also has fully unlined/soft cuffs and collar which is new to me, I love the cuffs but the collar seems a little weird without the stiffness I'm used to.

I chose a clubby sort of shirt, black with 2 button spread collar, mop, and convertible cuffs.

I plan on ordering a linen shirt or two from them since none of the online tailors seem to have a large selection.

sold out too fast...

Hi,
Can anyone comment on the quality of the linen fabrics? With the warmer weather coming upon us I'm looking at getting a few linen/cotten blends (only 3 choices available) or some of the 100% linen dress shirts done (e.g. sky blue linen v193)?

 

[viator]

I just got a shirt made from v170, which is a white linen. It nice and thick, although it's not very fine (i.e. the threadcount would not be especially high).
