Silk Dress Shirts (Where to buy?)

[Zach R.]

Marc's post got me thinking, are there any places these days that sell decent silk dress shirts? I've seen some, but they seem a bit...flamboyant for my taste(then again, it is silk we are talking about).

Custom-made. Scroll down, you'll see silk and linen.

$140. I know silk costs more than cotton, but I'm not sure it's worth it. I never had a silk shirt, so I can't really tell. Too bad they don't have a cream color.

if you ever get a chance my brother in law just returned from malaysia and he had to buy 2 extra suitcases to bring back clothes hand made silk shirts for arround 20 dollars u.s i belive he paid in euro about 15$ . The suits and slacks he brought back were amazing. I dont know if there is any on line options but its worth looking into.

Another sad thing about the times we live in: having to go to Malaysia, Thailand, etc. to get good quality clothes at reasonable prices.

What is even sadder is that nowadays, a serious development known as "medical tourism" is developing whereby people are going to Malaysia, Thailand, etc. to get good medical care at reasonable prices.

A sideline of the medical tourism business would be to hook up with Asian tailors while there. "Get your tummy tucked and then get fitted for your new suit."
