The shirt is ready but the full review would take a while - primarily because @shirtingfantasy usually washes his new shirts a few times before the first wear (in order to reveal the true character of the cotton) - so the reader is shown some photos first.
Understandably, if there are enough readers for such a niche blog (who click on the Google ADs often enough), @shirtingfantasy may leave his day job and devote himself to fabric and shirts, but that would be a #shirting #fantasy 😆😆😆

Hi Tom. Enjoy your blog very much. Enlightening. Is it possible to get a better photo of the side seam feature? Cant quite tell, is it on the underside of the sleeve? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteYes, the armpit area... (better not to photo right?)
DeleteYes this is the underside of the sleeve... I was trying to find a better way to show it (let me try harder in next post)...
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff, the buttonhole could be neater. Just wondering if they are makers for other tailor shops too, or only produces under their own brand?
ReplyDeleteThey make for others as well, like most other shirt-makers in Mirador...
Deleterarely to be seen in HK while others is machiner
ReplyDeletetailor hand made and personal, client-oriented easy to be found in HK. It is really peofessionalism.
