They also don't subcontract shirtmaking, unlike many other tailors.
Good luck. Let us know how they turn out after a few washes. Maybe I need to be pickier about the fabric and price point of the finish to get something that works.

What torqued me most about them is that when I showed up with a couple of shirts that had shrunk beyond usability, or the colors had run, they said it was "normal" and nothing they could do about it. Life's too short to deal with such nonsense.
