DH just ordered his first custom shirt (Cross post from latest purchases and M2M thread) Starts at 1100 USD, but bc he wants some details changed and added, SA estimates 1600USD to be paid in full as soon as H confirms our order is approved. The muslin or toile pattern takes 2 months. When it arrives there can be additional adjustments to fit. Then three months more for the finished garment. This is significantly more expensive than Turnbull NY full bespoke (I think 600 USD) or charvet, Paris (maybe 700 per shirt. But at Charvet, DH has MtM with ample tweaking as charvet said he didn’t need custom ).
But, unlike Turnbull or charvet, DH deliberately chose a fabric and details for a more fashion piece than straight sartorial. If it comes out perfectly (at this price, perfection is expected), it will be the first of many. Subsequent shirts will take 3 months since the pattern is already made. ETA: the fabric is like marron fonce with microscopic h‘s. (We couldnt tell until we were told the pattern was comprised of mini H‘s lol. He also wants a contrast band in a black and white fine pinstripe, so when the shirt is buttoned you only see a tiny bit. And, I think that same contrast on the inner cuff.

Not for DH, but if any of you guys would like
custom silk scarf shirts, they are beautiful. But much more expensive. You have to buy 5 silk Scarves from an approved list and then about 2K more for labor. So about 4.5K USD. There is a special thread for M2M clothing.
