Just placed an order after loving the measuring experience, here are some thoughts and questions.

* I would have felt better if it had said something like "we believe you're a 38" chest with a 15" neck circumference" so that I could eyeball whether or not what you've done really worked.

* Definitely would love to see the fabrics on people! Shows how good your product looks.

* I would LOVE an option for a third collar button as well as for a pocket button. If I'm getting a bespoke shirt, I want it the way I like to wear a shirt!

* To order again, I'll need a statement on your work conditions.



Thanks for placing an order, and thank you for the feedback!

We don't actually process your measurements in real time, which is why we couldn't say what your measurements are when you finish.

For fabric selection, we're working on nice photographs of real shirts made (just takes time and money) -- it's actually the #1 complaint we get.

We can definitely do a pocket button. We may be able to do a 3rd collar button. If you would like those options, please email support@mtailor.com, and we'll see what we can make for you.

What kind of statement would you like? As I stated previously, since we make higher end custom shirts which require skilled labor (custom vs. off-the-rack), we focus on quality rather than squeezing out every penny on the manufacturing side. Don't know if that's what you are looking for though.


That statement is wiggly and doesn't actually tell me anything about your labor policy. Does your organization fall under the requirements of the City of Portland Sweatshop Free Procurement Policy [1]? It's one of the best ways to tell if an apparel company uses unexploited labor. If you do not fit all the criteria, where do you come short and why?
