Same here, I've ordered a 4 or 5 shirts from them and my favorites are all pretty much the heaviest on the weight scale they have.

When did their prices jump? Every one's talking about 45-55 bucks for a shirt, but the cheapest one I saw was 80! Anything above the basic fabrics is 100+.

here's my order, which they said just shipped today (copied from the order history page):

I have a couple shirts form them and am happy. Their fabrics are very nice, but some seem a bit over priced. They are a good option, since when they say a shirt wil be ready in a couple weeks it is ready and shipped.

I just picked up 3 shirts from there and am more than happy. I got most of the measurements right, and the shirts came out extremely consistent, and they fit well. My next orders will have only 2 measurements slightly different. I used measurements from my best fitting shirts, and they came out pretty much exactly the size that I asked for. For people with unusual body types (I'm very tall and fairly slim/athletic build), tailorstore is a great option. It is far less expensive than buying a shirt and having it tailored, and I'm happy with the quality.

Agreed. Copied the measurements with from my best fitting shirt and made some minor alterations. Gave the measurements in cm to be precise and the shirt measurements are all spot on. Would recommend the white oxford fabric for anyone wanting to try out- good quality and heavy fabric but relatively cheap!

Next order i need to lengthen sleeves slightly (my fault) and take the waist in very slightly. Anyone ordered the french cuffs? I hear its harder to attach these cuffs to the sleeve without twisting etc?

When you specify the measurements for the shirt (rather than your own body measurements), does tailorstore tend to follow them well. I've heard about very slim guys sending in measurements to mytailor and other sites, asking for a slim fit, and ending up with something tent-like.

 

[monty10]

Yes, the measurements were faultless. I just chose the normal options rather than slim-style or slim sleeves since the shirt was already v.slim! Although I haven't yet ordered my second lot of shirts so maybe I'm not the best to comment on consistency etc.

I took my own measurements for my first TailorStore shirt and the shirt was actually too fitted in many aspects. Had to add a few centimeters to a lot of the body measurements for my second and third shirts. *edit* Also just to mention, I chose the slim body type shirt and narrow sleeves options.
