Hugh & Crye

I was highly disappointed with two shirts I purchased from Hugh & Crye. After reading the 5 star perfect reviews on Unilocal I had to visit. I ended up buying two shirts… Yes, they do have a variety of unique sizing options, but its a gimmick. Either the shirt is custom or its off the rack. Spending more for a «special» size that fits you better than the other off the rack shirts doesn’t actually make it special or worth more.
When I asked about fixing the sleeve length of the shirt they recommended I go to the tailor across the road and pay an additional $ 20 per shirt on top of the $ 240 I already spent. Err… no thanks.
Disappointed, I went to Banana Republic and purchased one of their «high end» shirts on sale for less than the cost of the Hugh & Crye shirt. Two months later and the Banana Republic shirt is my favorite work horse blue shirt, the blue Hugh & Crye has lost a lot of coloring and has had more shrinkage than any of my other shirts. The collar no longer fits, now I need to purchase a collar extender to keep wearing it. And the sleeves aren’t a issue anymore either. Those have shrunk to a manageable length.
This was my last attempt to find a local shirt source, but I’ve decided to just order my custom shirts directly from my old tailor in Hong Kong. Paying more than $ 80 for a dress shirt that isn’t a custom fit is just a waste of money.

Awesome fit.
I have a pocket t– shirt in heraldic blue and I love it. My usual go to plain tee is the Ralph Lauren Polo crewneck, but this tee fits much better for a tall and skinny guy like myself.
Highly recommended and I’m excited to buy a button up shirt soon.
