I have a favourite shirt. i love the way it fits. but i'm starting to get a reputation for only wearing this shirt when i go out cos i love hwo it fits so much. does anyone know of anywhere in london (central/north preferably) where i could take this shirt along, choose some fabrics and have other versions made in exactly the same size? without having my original shirt completely unpicked of course. thanks!

i should say, i'm not looking to spend a fortune in the saville row type shops and i'm looking for somewhere that's not so traditional in terms of fabrics. the shirt i'm talking about is a £25 checked cowboy shirt so i'd be after similar fabrics. so i'm more interested in hearing of local tailors which offer good value services. thanks!

It is actually very expensive to have a shirt re-made to a pattern in this country. I suggest you go to Fraser's Men's Department and ask one of the chaps there to help you find a new one. However hold on to the favourite shirt and next time you take a trip abroad to Turkey for instance, bring it with you and there they have many tailors who will make your shirt for you at a very low cost in many fabrics.
There is a Hong Kong tailors who meet at the Hilton Hotel in Edgware Road taking orders for these sorts of things at cheap prices too. They do the work in China and send it back to the UK.
This is their website:

I suggest Russell and Hodge in Windmill Street, they have an excellent reputation.
