A lot of Thai Tailors actually visit different parts of the world to accept mail order business. Most of the time they keep in touch with their own customers to give them more business through friends family and themselves. The prices are very reasonable and includes shipping often a good deal anyway.

There may be however a chance of 5 % that you may not fit into properly – your clothes. If its a minor case then you can get it altered in that case back home.

check google out for more information on these tailors one of which I know through a friend of mine in http://www.timmystailor.com that can send clothes by mail order to your house if you send them measurements

It’s not $60 for 3 shirts any more – last time I paid $135 for 3. Plus I paid duty when they arrived.

Still a better deal, considering the quality and custom fit.

The key to ironing your cotton dress shirts is to do it right out of the wash when they are wet and hang dry. They iron quickly and are nice and crisp when dry.

100% any-cotton usually is quite high maintenance. Thank goodness for suit jackets to cover up all the wrinkles!

Preet: That is a great price! The one thing I like about the cookie cutter dress shirts is that you can get “wrinkle resistant” shirts that you can basically wash and wear. I imagine 100% egyptian cotton would involve quite a bit of maintenance (ironing and whatnot)…

I believe he sets up shop in a hotel room downtown and then just takes appointments. Prices are very good from what I remember: $60 gets you three tailored shirts, 100% egyptian cotton with monogramming on the cuffs.

Consider that a regular cookie cutter dress shirt from the Bay may easily be $60…

Here’s an interesting business idea: financial advisors who are licensed to sell individual securities who work on a salary. (Bank branch advisors get a base salary and bonuses, but can only advise on mutual funds.)

Too funny, oh-well. Everyone who hasn’t heard of this Maxwell character (and is interested in tailored clothes) should check it out!

They already have this idea in Canada. It’s called Maxwell and he visits Toronto twice a year min as well as other cities. Almost everyone who’s a banker, in research, or a trader has a few of his products.
