    Can we have clarification on what the tailor's tag look like and how will our names be incorporated - embroidery? I prefer real name than ajb007 name of course.
    BTW, still in for two and awaiting payment instruction - will try to do some measuring later and definitely like one in DC size for display.
    Thank you!

    I think I mentioned this before but all the work they do is custom so they may not have standard sizes.

    I think, the standard sizes have been replied here ;)


    So is it definite that there are no standard sizes? He says they may not do them. The "may" part has me confused because it seems uncertain.
    I assume they would be using standard size patterns ( S, M, L) and then adjusting those to everyones measurements to make each individual shirt? If that is so, couldn't they crank out a couple of standard ones?

    They don't actually do it like that, they cut directly from the measurements provided.

    Hi:
    I've just send my measurement
    I'd prefer my real name to my screen name on my shirt.
    Thanks a lot and I'm waiting news.

    Measurements sent! Not as arduous as I imagined!

    Definitely like my real name in the shirt rather than my user ID.

    Let me know when payment is required, cheers guys{[]

    Don't take any measurements from a shirt. Get naked and get someone to measure you.
    Hmmmm... That sort of narrows the list of people I think would measure me.

    I still don't know how they'll be cut... tight close, loose? I can place my order as soon as I know. :)
  • MisterMan57MisterMan57 Posts: 67MI6 Agent
    Can we please have a definite answer as to whether they can do standard sizes or not? A few people have expressed interest in this.
    Is there a final word on payment to Paul?
    Thank you

    Question on the cross shoulder, do you want it horizontal curved around the back/shoulders or the straight line taken from above. There's about a two inch difference.

    Unfortunately there's not a good place here that I'd trust to take these measurements. The basic ones I already know but the shoulder one is tricky.

    S, M, L, XL, XXL would have been a stroke of genius.....

    Yes, are such standard sizes available? If not, how is the fit and cut of the shirt?
    You guys have done commendable work on putting this project together, but if we are shelling out the $300, I think we are entitled to these crucial details. I am sure at this price no one wants a shirt that doesnt fit correctly.
    Thank you.

    If you give the simple measurements on Simons site then the shirts will be tailored to that measurement and fit you as perfectly as it fitted Craig in the film. There is no slim fit, standard fit or wide, just a screen fit.

    If you go for a standard size like a M or XL then surely there is infinately more possibilities of it not fitting.

    .... additionally, the standard sizes are not hammered in stone. As an example, I would like to mention the GP swimming trunks:

    Everyone, who is a standard L size will find the L size from GP pretty tight.

    I for myself have a US shoe size, which varies from 11,0 to 12,5, depending on the manufacturer.

    And I would guess, ASP9mm is facing similar problems in his XS size world. ;)

    Ok, what's going on the label - screen name or real name? Where do we specify this? Can we have nothing at all?

    So if it is screen fit, then the shirt will be fitted? Am I correct?

    ASp, do you know anything about payment and nametags?

    Thanks

    Until everything is 100% ready for roll out, then payment is not required. Paul really wants everything in place before payment is made, which is quite soon. He is going to get fitted for his own shirt so that all of your worries will be laid to rest. Confirmation on regular sizes and labels will be coming soon. Remember he's a busy man and not as sad as me so has less time to suave around the forum. Hang in there folks, it's all happening as we speak.

    In the meanime, get your measurements in.

    (And I'm not talking about your dinkle Markus!)
