Where to get custom dress shirts for DH?

[Anonymous]

For years my DH has gotten dress shirts made by the same guy (an old Italian man who would come to his office, take his measurements, and show him fabric samples). It was a great service, the shirts weren't all that much more than nice shirts from a store, and they looked much better on DH given DH's frame. This man has retired and I am looking for a recommendation for someone else in the area who makes custom shirts. Any ideas?

My DH buys from Charles Tyrwitte (I'm getting the spelling wrong). They are not custom, but are kind of semi-custom. They are really cheap (because they are always having sales). and the quality is nice. DH used to buy custom and switched to these.

We use Saks -- They run about $150/shirt (get in during the promotional events) and they let you choose from all of their different style shirts (collars, buttons, cuffs, plackets, monograms, etc.). Hundreds of fabrics to choose from and they keep measurements on file (so usually I just go in and pick a few fabrics and have them made for him). The lower priced fabrics (again, the ones in the $130-150 range) seem to dry clean better than the ones in the more expensive ranges (more delicate fabric?). We've ordered about 1/2 dozen shirts every year and that seems to work well for lawyer DH (keeps about 12 in rotation which works for us since his firm does casual Friday that gives us 3 weeks worth of shirts). When the shirts come in, keep them boxed and take them to his favorite tie place to match. Nordstrom also has this made-to-measure service but I don't like their selections as well.

We order from a guy in bangkok - Rajawongse. Shirts are beautiful and about $20, plus another $50 for shipping of about 5.
