Thanks all, for checking out my pics

Here's a few more from my first excursion into custom tailoring. I got two shirts made for less than $50 CAD total. The quality is amazing and I can't believe the difference in having a shirt that fits in every way.

One of the shirts is white with a subtle check, has a wider spread collar, French cuffs, and my initials monogrammed on the cuff. The other is a blue and red tattersal, with a regular spread collar, and barrel cuffs. Both have extra long shirt tails and built-in collar stays.

I also picked up a tie in CUHK's collars: purple and gold. There isn't a single, official tie, but rather many different patterns that all have the school crest on the bottom. I chose this one because the colours distinguish it as a CUHK tie even if one can't see the crest. This is the tie that I wore to the Vice-Chancelor's dinner.






My next sets of custom tailored goods (4 shirts and one suit) are already pre-purchased through Groupon, which helped me get an even better deal. I'll also be following MacMillan of Rathdown's advice and looking into getting some bespoke shoes. The prices are no-where near what I would pay for dress shoes off-the-rack in Canada, so I'm quite excited. Unfortunately, there is only one kiltmaker here and his prices are as high or higher than anywhere else
