Anyone try tailorstore.com?

Anyone try them? They are about $60US per shirt.
You pick everything about the shirt and enter your measurements.
I'm thinking about ordering one, but I'm worried I'll mess up the measurements.
Anyone with experience with them or a tailored shirt in general?


http://www.bestcustomshirt.com seems to be another one.

I ordered a plain white shirt from them last week. US$39.95 plus US$9.00 shipping. It also includes a free pair of cufflinks. I could have ordered more and there would have been no additional shipping charge.

This is my test shirt to see if everything comes out fine. I measured a slimfit Hugo Boss shirt and used those numbers with a little tweaking.

If I'm happy I'm never buying an off the rack shirt again.

I found some feedback on another site, they said they are pretty good. They said if you are measuring yourself, it may take a few times until you get it right. I measured my own. As long as it's close, I will be happy, hopefully not too small.
I got the cufflinks too. If I like it, I will order again too.

If anyone is wondering...
got my shirt today.
I'm happy with it.
Measurements are off in some places though.
I will probably order another one.
Shoulders a little wide.
Sleeves a little long.
Chest a little big.
Bottom is very tight, lol
But not too bad.

:confused:
so what did they get right?
And is it because the numbers you gave them were wrong, or the cut is off? What's the stiching like? What fabric? If it's patterned, how's the seams where the patterns join? Are they aligned etc?

I assume it was my measurements.
I read if you've never done it before it may take your first couple shirts to learn what your real measurements are.
Mine was a plain yellow.
Everything seems good, just measurements were off.
I will order again. Good price for a custom shirt.

I ordered mine about two weeks ago with measurements from a shirt that fit well (and then slightly adjusted where I saw fit), and I read that when you do that, the measurements come out just like what you listed (because you actually indicate the measurements of the shirt, therefore, there's no guesswork involved for you and them).

Anyway, it's made and being shipped from where they make them (Sri Lanka, I think I read) to their warehouse (Sweden probably) for shipping. I'll get it within the next 10 days and post a review.

Oh, and I got a colour such that if it doesn't work out well for a work shirt, I could wear it as a casual shirt not tucked in. I think that's the best way to order your first shirt.

PS. I got a catalogue from www.tailoredshirts.com, and while they're quite a bit more expensive, their fabric looks better. Although I've read TailorStore's isn't that bad either.

And if anybody else is looking for another site, http://jantzentailor.com/ is said to be very good (and cheap). They have countless fabrics, but currently it takes anywhere between 2 months and a year (average is probably 3 months, max is never, but they won't charge you, just "forget" your order) to get your shirt, which in my case is unacceptable.

Yeah I have a wedding in a few weeks, it was nice to get it in the time they gave.

Just received my first Tailorstore shirt a few days ago. Took about a month to arrive after date of order.

The shirt is the best fitting shirt I have, and I had tried my best in the past to find well fitting RTW shirts. For those who think your RTW shirts fit "fine", you don't know what you're missing! There's no shirt you can get at a mall in this price range that fits as well.

I recommend measuring yourself carefully (better with someone's help) rather than trying to measure an existing shirt.

Disadvantages:
- the collar stays are sewn-in and are very flimsy - unfortunately nothing we can do about it
- fabric choices seem pretty limited
