So, what sharp little eyes you've got...wait till you get to my teeth.

...... Paul really wants everything in place before payment is made, which is quite 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.
Thx ASP9mm (I like this guy..really...shame about his boxbrownie and photography skills.. )
He's spot on....This escapade has been a nightmare from start to finish, and impossible for a true control freak like me to keep at a steady orderly pace...
Once I'm sure we can get the flow going, I'll open the monetary floodgates...
I'm hoping there should be some news early this week...stay tuned...
Just got my measurements done. I noticed that my tailor put me down for a '39 waist. My pants are normally about '34 (or '35 on a bad day), but he said this was how you measure for a shirt.
Not for me...for my shirt maker I give my accurate waist size since I wear my shirts "slim fit" or "fitted" as they call it...I don't like that muffin top look you get from Brooks Brothers shirts.
Has anyone here had their measurements taken by a professional tailor then? I 've never had it done and I'm worried the shirt will end up feeling and looking a little tight. And just a query, how come the picture of the swatch sample is pink? The madagascar shirt is white is it not? Keep up the good work.
I'm planing on going to my local tailor tomorrow to get my shoulder and back measurements. I am a little confused by the schematic. Maybe someone can help me out tonight. The shoulder to shoulder measurement...should it be to the outer edge of my shoulder or from bone to bone going east to west for lack of a better description?
One more question...should the chest measurement be regular or expanded? I'm a 42 and wear a 42 suitcoat in most cases but my expanded measurement is 43. Which should I be using?
Has there been any word on standard sizes or of the cut of the shirt? I am concerned about spending the money for a shirt that I won't be able to try on beforehand. Tailoring an item is hard to do without the person to fit it on during the process.
I think if questions about fit and cut are addressed, a lot of peoples worries would be alleviated.
Just a quick question. Would love one of these shirts but there is no way I will be able to short of winning the lottery. Just wanting to know if there is anyway to get hold of offcuts if there are any to frame with my DC auto.

Paul,
I hope it wasn't TOO much of a nightmare for you! I was kinda curious to see what you would do for an encore.
Seriously... thanks once again for all the hard work!

however, it's been located, and will hopefully be delivered 2mrw...

I went to the shirt maker yesterday....measured up and they're going to try to get things moving by Friday, although they are busy on another project

Did everyone find this to be true?
Speaking of temperature, and I'd never hold you to this, but do the organizers think these ****s will indeed be ready to go by this summer?

Thanks for helping a brother out!
Mantis are you lurking this evening?

thx Asp9mm....i'm waiting for the shirtmaker to come back to me with the 1st finished shirt....then we can get moving (provided i'm happy with it...)
sorry for the delay, but I can promise you, no one is more frustrated than I.
Hopefully we'll get something back from them next week...
No apologies necessary, ke02eww - I'm glad you are putting so much effort (and money
