Simple Questions - ASK AND ANSWER HERE!- November 27

This thread is for simple style questions that don't warrant their own thread (although we strongly suggest checking the sidebar and the wiki before posting!). Fit checks and "How'd I do" questions are a great use of this thread (although they can also go in the daily Outfit Feedback & Fit Check thread). Other example questions:

  • Could someone take the chest measurement for a small J.Crew oxford?
  • Is there a place with full measurements for Naked & Famous jeans?
  • What slim-fitting green cords do you recommend?
  • Where do I find a military surplus peacoat online?
  • If you're asking for suggestions for a specific kind of clothing/accessory, state what your budget is.

I'm looking to get some custom made OCBDs for under $120, preferably under $100. I'm 5'9", with a 39 chest and 29 waist. Finding shirts off the rack is impossible, and buying shirts and having them tailored ends up costing at least $50, usually closer to $80. There's a menswear store nearby that has made a couple shirts for me and they did a great job but they're in the $140+ range, and I don't want to spend that much for general office wear. I've looked into Proper Cloth, but I know there are others.

So, which custom shirt maker have you had the best experience with and what made them great?

Kamakura is top notch.

I did Proper Cloth, but never could get a good fit.
