Anyone get a shirt or pants from this ebay seller in China?

I know the seller is from China and has had some good feedback on their shirts. Just wondering if anyone got from them. Thanks!

I have been considering it myself... I like the idea that they will be tailored to me, as I have an unusual fit, and these shirts have to fit closely, but not be tight- tailored to me.

It is low on my priority list, but these ar on my list unless I hear they are crappy...

I know of at least two COW members that own the shirts that this seller offers. I am one of them.

I opted to have the custom tailored shirt and it really is the best fitting shirt that I've ever owned. The shirt looks good and is flexible. And, unlike the photos of the shirt in the eBay auction, the pocket flaps are not scalloped. My shirt is slightly different, though, because I had the seller intentionally use darker buttons in order to emulate the Last Crusade look for my shirt.

The shirt is sturdy as well and is definitely not a flimsy costume piece. I could easily wear it as an everyday type shirt and I suspect that it would hold up well.

Not having any physical reference I can't compare its color to a shirt by any other manufacturer. I don't yet know how the shirt will wrinkle because mine simply hasn't. As I said, it's a sturdy shirt.

I don't know about the pants offered by this seller. I've seen the auction and have been tempted to buy them in order to go with the shirt but I haven't done so yet.

Respectfully,
Nassik

Well, that's good to hear!

Did you simply supply your neck/sleve measurements (like a typical dress shirt) or did you also include chest and "gut" as well?

I am tall and thin(ish). Off the rack, I wear 15-35 (dependant on maker and material), but I can easily go longer in the sleeve as well as back length. (I will probably have him add 1-2 inches to the 'tails' to make sure they stay in.) The problem is, as the neck gets larger, so does the chest and gut area!

I also don't qualify for the "big and tall" stores- I'm in that 'grey area' between main stream and speciality shops...

You'll need an assortment of measurements for the shirt. I supplied the following information...

weight
height
neck measurement
shoulder width
chest
natural waistline
arm length

I also added length and belly just to be safe.

Sounds good. I'll remember that...

I have one of their medium shirts and I am very happy with it. And their delivery was fast!

Thanks! I may order one. I have a Todd's in XL and its a bit snug, I'm 6'3", 200 lbs. I may order the pants too, I'll see. I'd like to have an alternative to the Taupe microfiber LL Bean pants, which in FL is not bad to have.

Those pants seem to have the very straight cut legs some people want, anyone seen the pockets?

Edit: D'oh answered my own question:

Looks like I'm getting the shirt from that guy:)

I'm also interested in his jacket; is the quality as good as he makes it out to be? (i.e. good enough for normal use?)

Thanks.

I think his jacket is NOT leather...

I may be confusing him with another vendor, but I know one of them was not leather...

CHECK CAREFULLY if you want real leather...

Yeah I just saw that - thanks for the warning. I did not know what 'pleahter' meant until I googled it. I originally thought he just made a typo..

JimL · Post by **JimL** » Fri Jul 18, 2008 9:10 am

Nope. That's the close cousin to "Naugahide". Know haw many Nauga's died to make this? NONE. It's polymer chemistry...

There are some nice pleathers out these days (look at car interiors) but it will not weather like real animal hide (if at all) or it will sudenly fail all together, and look like poo.

Save a bit longer and get an off-the-rack Wested if you can fit into a standard size (I unfortunately cannot). I would already own one of these if they fit!

Haha, thanks for the advice. Yeah the moment I found out it's not leather it put me off. Anyways I'm up for the shirt & pants. Here's hoping.

I have heard some good reports on the shirts, but not much on the pants... I think the pants are a cotton blend, not the wool of the real 'pinks'. This may be good, or bad, dependent on the weather you intend to wear them in...

JC1972 · Post by **JC1972** » Thu Jul 24, 2008 8:01 pm

I'm in FL so I may get a pair. Only pants I have now are the LL Bean microfiber taupe.

JimL · Post by **JimL** » Mon Jul 28, 2008 7:22 am

Do you have a link for those pants?

I am trying to find a reasonably priced pant alternative to the usual suspects...

I found a few 'close enoughs' at Steve & Barry's for under $10.00 each, that will do nicely on real adventures...

PM sent with link

Oh, sorry! I meant the LL Bean pants...

Those you gave me the link for are of the wrong fabric...

Thanks for the link, however!

What best offer are they accepting for the shirt?

I saw one go for $27 but it wasn't one of their custom shirts, which I don't think they accept offers. I say try $20 and see; they will probably counteroffer if they don't like your offer.
