Joe started with one of my bespoke shirts and has made fine copies of its construction. I cannot speak to his ability to get a good fit on his own. That's as a shirtmaker, not as a tailor. The tailoring I've seen is less impressive.

Will, Hemrajani is www.mytailor.com, correct?I only ask, because I'm quite excited to have a recommended tailor so close to home!!

Half my shirts are T&A and half are Hemrajani copies of T&A. IJ, IMO the most overlooked thing about a bespoke necktie is the length. Your necktie's widest point should cross the top of your trousers. I specify a lined and self-tipped sixfold with a self-keeper, 3 1/2" wide and 55" long, cut to tie a moderate four-in-hand that fits into the tie space on a tab collar dress shirt. You should

A fine combination.Will, who does your shirts? It's murder trying to get someone to monogram inside the collar band here in Richmond. But maybe that's because everyone farms out at least part of the process? Very elegant solution to monogramming discreetly.

Can you comment on the construction (number of folds) and measurements you specified (i.e., width, length, etc.). I would also like to order a tie, but am unsure about certain aspects, particularly the number of folds.

Turling, it's still Noina Hober sewing the neckties and they haven't changed a bit.

My cleaning service uses a machine for the shirt body and hand irons the collar and cuffs. That works for me, particularly since it's been well established that our housekeeper can't iron. :-)

That's funny - moving the "tie" business to "Thai" land. Haha.I know what you mean about a regular tie fix. I stop in the Ralph Lauren Mansion every week to buy one tie. I buy it whether I need it or not. Somehow, with the exception of a couple of favorites, I do not like wearing ties more than a couple of times. I like the particular one in the picture and the shirt it is paired with.It is good

I am pleased to see you have fully recovered, Will. We were worried. I will consider buying a Sam Hober necktie. You certainly seem happy with them. I see they have Downside School ties...!

Fantastic look. I like the combination with the shirt. Did you notice any change in quality with the tie since their move overseas? Also, where did you get the shirt?
