Ascot Chang has been ok for me with annual on site orders over 8 years or so, though the last batch all uniformly had arm lengths slightly too long. We didn't do a remeasurement, so they were going from my previous records. It's not terrible, just not something you expect at this level.

If you consider Ascot Chang, ask to look at the Thomas Mason 150/2 cotton fabric books, which AC claims is exclusive to them.

Since I don't get the monogramming and don't ask for much in special fitting, I'm beginning to wonder what's the point in a made to measure shirt. The special fabric is nice, but not that much better than off the shelf (if you pick the right shelf).
