I have ordered and received MTM shirts from both tailorstore.com and Baron Boutique in the last two months. The fit on both is very good. I had ordered a test shirt from tailorstore.com previously; it was OK, but did need some tweaking. The one problem I noticed is that the Baron Boutique shirt has fewer buttons that are spaced further apart. This is causing the shirt to gape open when I sit down even though the shirt is not tight. It is almost as if a button is missing, but it isn't. The tailorstore.com shirt has 8 buttons that are about 3 inches apart whereas the Baron Boutique shirt has 6 buttons that are about 4 1/2 inches apart. I like the fabric better on the "Baron" shirt; it is one of the Swiss cotton shirts and is fairly wrinkle-free. The one from "tailorstore" is La Serena which is one of the "exclusive" fabrics ($46.00). If Baron would add buttons, I would order some more shirts. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Well, I decided to order another shirt from tailorstore.com. I went with a white shirt ("bianco" fabric). It is a long staple, Egyptian cotton 2-ply 120's and is $63.95 making it one of the best fabrics they offer. I used exactly the same measurements as last time, since the fit was perfect; I really didn't think anything needed to be adjusted, even by a centimeter. I used the following measurements (cut/pasted from website profile):

Neck\t
39.5 cm
Chest\t
103 cm
Waist\t
95 cm
Hips\t
109 cm
Back\t
48 cm
Arm length\t
65 cm
Cuff\t
18.5 cm
Biceps\t
34 cm
Shirt length\t
75 cm

I really do wish that they would add some fabrics; they have a very limited selection. I am also still waiting for the removable collar stays; they said this feature is going to be added.
