Thanks sir.It's a few years now that I've almost only been buying bespoke sartorial shirts. Honestly, I couldn't be happier. Fit, of course, is perfect in every minimal detail and price-point is just a little bit higher than a quality shirt non-custom made.
At your disposal, Sir.Thanks sir.
My friend, I suggest making a google research and find the closest place to where you live. I suppose all major cities in the US should have a boutique. At least this is what happens here in Italy.So how do I go about finding someone to make me a bespoke shirt?
In the US the price differential is pretty large for a bespoke shirt. Maybe a made to measure shirt will be in general range but not bespoke.It's a few years now that I've almost only been buying bespoke sartorial shirts. Honestly, I couldn't be happier.

All kidding aside, I thought that a a Bespoke item and a MTM item were the same. Please explain.In the US the price differential is pretty large for a bespoke shirt. Maybe a made to measure shirt will be in general range but not bespoke.
Here in Italy "made to measure" literally means that the garment (in this case a shirt) is machine sewn, while "bespoke" literally means it's both made to measure and hand sewn. However, nowadays, as long as it's made to measure, even if machine sewn, it's identified as bespoke or custom made. In this case price point is not that high. My shirts are costing me roughly €100/120 each.In the US the price differential is pretty large for a bespoke shirt. Maybe a made to measure shirt will be in general range but not bespoke.

Sir, I am 100% Italian and of course can only speak for what I know, modestly quite well, here.That is partially correct. A MTM garment is an existing cutting pattern, which is then adjusted to fit the wearer.
A bespoke item starts to no pattern and then one is created based on both the wearer’s specifications, measurements and other physical proportions. Maybe they stoop or shoulders are different heights etc. these are all taken into consideration.
Might be different in Italy but I was there recently and even a good shirt from a department store will run into 100+ Euros.
