Chayban’s are excellent, but the owners work at the store on Sheridan+NFB. I’d go to that store instead. ---

What do you need done to the shirts. It’s pretty hard to re-tailor a shirt ---

Go buy some new shirts, it probably won’t be worth the money to tailor a shirt. ---

If you’re buying from Express…you’re not buying dress clothes ---

express button-downs are pretty nice shirts. I wear them all the time. You don’t have to spend 100 bucks to get a nice dress shirt. ---

> [@boardjnky4](#): > > express button-downs are pretty nice shirts. I wear them all the time. You don’t have to spend 100 bucks to get a nice dress shirt. I have a couple express shirts and they fit great for the price… but no way are they high end or comparable to any real tailored shirt… my advice is to not get a real tailored shirt because one you own one it’s like owning a civic SI and getting a ride in a friend’s 1000whp supra or like going from all seasons to r-comps… ---

A good tailored dress shirt makes all the difference and is definitely worth the money.
