The Alexander West Experience – Part 2
Christmas comes but once a year yet with custom clothing it feels like Christmas all the time. Although the man bringing the presents usually asks for your signature upon arrival.
My first Alexander West shirt arrived at my place of occupation on a Monday and I tore into the box with glee. Inside was not only my shirt exquisitely packaged in an Alexander West branded plastic shirt box, but also a letter with proper care instruction, and a set of brushed metal collar stays.
But packaging is only part of the equation. Fit, finish, and fabric quality was next on the list all of which score high points.
The high fabric count (145) makes this tuxedo shirt so beautiful to the touch. The cuffs are french rounded to perfection as well as the ultra stiff collar which should soften in a few washes. Note: I actually LOVE the stiffness of the collar and cuffs. It makes me feel like I am wearing something of great quality. All the buttons are tightly sewn and there was not a stray thread throughout.
Once I put it on I had a full realization of just how good the fit is. Every part hugged my body perfectly and there was no need at all for tailoring. The cuffs fit around my formal watch with no issues. There was no pulling or ill fit anywhere to be found.
As first experiences go, I am very pleased with the quality and service that Alexander West offers. I urge my readers to purchase at least one shirt from them.
Even if it’s the one custom shirt you own, you will be happy you do.
