Need new shirt, suggestions needed

Post by nihil »

Hi :)

My current shirt from WPG have had an accident with some red cloth, and got a pink hue around the neck area. Apparently it's not possible to wash away, so I'm in need of a new shirt.
That can potentially be a good thing however. I got the Medium-Long, and while it fits perfectly in the body, it's a tad too short in the sleeves. Since WPG doesn't do extra long shirts, I was thinking of looking elsewhere for a SA shirt.
Are there other options than a bespoke from Magnoli?

They are sadly too short. I'm 6'4", and even WPGs medium-long isn't long enough in the sleeves.

How about a AB shirt or an Azuma?

You're 6'4" and wear a medium long? I'm also 6'4", 210 lbs and wear a Large long/XL shirt. I assume the Large long would be too big in the chest for you; it has one more inch than the medium long? Otherwise I would think only Magnoli or AB can give you the shirt you need. I don't think azuma's shirts would fit you.

I'm 190lbs, and a large would be too big in the body, especially around the waist.

What do the AB shirts cost? I can't seem to find the information on their website.

69 Euros shipped worldwide. At least I paid that for a shirt one year ago.

Sounds reasonable. I've sent them an email.

Do you know what the quality difference is between Magnoli and the AB?

I can only say that AB is superior shirt, great fabric, cut, SA factor :) I do not own Magnoli shirt, but his stuff get awesome ratings and positive reviews here, and not only here.
Price is not very different, so you may consider getting custom made shirt from Magnoli.
