My Tailor.
Well, as of the moment, I haven't my fiance about to take decent photographs of me to put up on here....But, I can tell you quite succinctly that I have a butterfly wing tip collar (where the turned back wings are rounded instead of pointed), an imperial stock collar, a narrow spread antique turn-down collar which I bought from a LAHA chum, and my spread collar from which came with my tunic shirt. My tailor makes up collars for about 20 dollars, but the quality is impeccable, and he is usually willing to negotiate some sort of terms when items are bought in larger quantities. furthermore, my tailor will make most any shirt in a detachable model for no extra charge in my experience. You can certainly ask him yourself, he'll be in California very soon, this month actually as he'll be on his U.S. Roadshow! It's always better to get measured by him in person the first time, by any tailor really. I've also never had any misadventures regarding the clothing which he's produced for me.
Oh, one other thing, I'm not sure yet, but the collars which are to be had from http://www.ushist.com/victorian_shirts_detachable-collars.htm may in the semi-near future actually be produced by my tailor as I recently spoke with the proprietor of that site/store/mercantile and he informed me that two of their collar producers are no longer cogent businesses, in short, that they have suffered economic dissolution and their supplied collars will no longer be available. He was I believe, negotiating some sort of supplying deal with my tailor as I had given him my tailor's information and he seemed rather interested. My tailor's collars are also of much higher quality than the ones which the site currently carries.
One thing though, if you use my tailor, do me a favour and mention my name; Evan A. Everhart of Los Angeles. I'd appreciate it.
Anyhow, my tailor is Mr. Ravi Ishoo Daswani of MySuitShop.com.
http://www.mysuitshop.com/shops.php?ShopID=1
He makes bi or tri-annual "Road-Show" circuits of the United States, Canada, Britain etc., et all, so he is most assuredly personally accessible to most people, especially those living in major cities. The Road-Show visitation catalogue may be seen and accessed by way of joining the mailing list and requesting it.
As regards Mr. Daswani, he's the best around regarding the combination of superb quality and affordability which he provides. Aside from this, the customer service is impeccable and he's personable in person!
My family have been in tailoring for I don't know how many generations, at least since the middle of the nineteenth century; I know quality tailoring and I know when someone knows what they're doing and talking about with high quality tailoring. Mr. Daswani DOES. Check him out.
Mr. Daswani actually listens to you! Unlike most so-called tailors these days.
He's British trained from what I understand, Indian by descent, and currently resides in Thailand from where he operates his manufactury and where his central business offices are located.
Aside from the above, most details regarding the number of buttons or the rise of trousers and the like are highly negotiable, either include them in your notes, or mention them to him and he will let you know what everything will cost you - usually nothing for changes to the number of buttons unless exorbitant (like adding ten or twenty buttons with button holes or something). He's a Good man!
Hope this's been a bit helpful. Not meant as a plug, but merely as my own endorsement of a man who's company and services I highly regard and who's services I feel and know could most certainly benefit you; my friends, acquaintances, and associates on the FedoraLounge. Oh, he also does women's clothing.
Sincerely Yrs,
Evan Alexander Everhart
