Recommendations of good tailors and shirt stores.

Bought two shirts by van heusen same cut but both fit different. The other issue I had was that the colours faded after a few months.

I have noticed that the VH shirts sold locally have changed quite drastically.
The materials they use to make it are very poor quality.
The only way they stay smooth is with heavy use of spray starch and when ironing them they give off a chemical scent that reminds me of tar/pitch/petroleum.

I bought a VH about 3 years ago and I ended up spoiling the shirt when some other clothing colours ran in the washing machine.
Went back to the exact store last year and bought the exact shirt, only to realise that the material is crap (as described above) and it was the exact same shirt I bought from the exact store 2 years before. I bought some other VH shirts and the majority of them are made from poor quality materials, even though they are labelled with the same Polyester/Cotton.

I think consumer affairs really needs to get involved here.

Wish I kept my receipt.

The Van Heusen shirts you get locally are produced under the VH brand by a local company in El Socorro. They make the shirts and put a VH tag on it. Considering who runs the operation, it's no surprise that they use the cheapest materials possible- it's so thin you can see through it and it burns easily when ironing even on low heat.

Bottom line: don't buy Van Heusen in Trinidad.

then again, I got lucky in francis fashions with their discount thing, got access to 15 cards and a black discount cards, ended up getting 9 shirt and 2 pants for 2100... good stuff, kenneth cole and so on

[DJ Q]

Yea I bought some VH recently as well.
Two shirts same style just different colours.
Both fit differently. Quite annoying.
I also wish we had more options for sleeve length here. Most shirts are 32 for the sleeve. 30 is my fit

[Redman]

Brooks brothers,Joseph A Banks..have regular sales.

Johnston Murphy...

Buy one to get the sizes...and you good.

The quality is great..BB has plenty sizing and style options.

Gambert Shirt company made some shirts for me in 2000.

Still going strong.

A very good quality brand is strafford, on macys in the US, if u have family or friends up there that can help u out, invest in that brand, reasonably priced and very good quality as well. What I like about the shirt is the colors and sleeves, really stiff and doesnt loose the "straightness"
