The work of a true artisan. <br /><br />Can you speak about your shirt? I noticed how upright the collar stands. Does the collar have interior buttons to keep it standing, or is it just cut that nicely? Where do you have your shirts made? <br /><br />Also, I am relatively new from this blog. What is your background? I couldn't find much insight from your blog profile. Are you a bespoke tailor here in the United States? What is your background in the industry. The level of your work is certainly indicative of someone with great skill and much experience.
