I've just picked up a shirt by Inglese with hand sewn shoulders and yoke. (Sleeveheads, collar, hand rolled body hem, gussets and inside of wandless front placket, buttons and holes and sleeve placket are also done by hand). Anyway, the stitching looks really nice and I'm thinking and mailing him about making one completely by hand, just for the looks. Has anyone here ever had a shirt made this way? Thoughts?
Welcome back! Your undercover work elsewhere has been appreciated by a few of us, although it was mostly a case of pearls before swine I think.
I just took delivery of a new, handmade, bespoke shirt from some New York top-man - he charged me $6500.95 for it and it was all over the place so I said - "Where can I do better than this?"
and he said:
"Make one yourself, wise-guy".
Cheers Yuca.
