I've dealt with them for several years(bit shorter than RJH) on both suits and dress shirts.
They carry Brioni only for suits not for dress shirts.
I left them a copy of my dress shirts for a exact copy(Did fitting also)
but it was just NOT right. Material is great, but fit and finish is not close to Brini/Brioni's tailoring work.

So, I won't say it's terrible, but not what I expect.

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).
