As almost with most of our tailored shirts, one week later the shirt was ready for pick up. Upon inspection there were no major errors that needed changing so we proceeded to wash and iron the shirt for review. One factor we noticed immediately was that the fabric felt rather thin and insubstantial but we accepted that as a compromise for house fabric at a reasonable price.
From the frontal view the flaws were not too unsightly. The most obvious critique from the front would be the sleeve pitch and (minimally) longer length.
The right chest area has some bunching which can be seen at this view. Furthermore, the incorrect sleeve pitch creates some twisting at the upper arm. There isn’t any excess fabric or restricted movement though, which results in a good ‘slim’ fit.
The posterior view is clean showing no blousing. More evidence of incorrect sleeve pitch visible.
Correct shoulder width resulting in a harmonious fit. Twisting of the right sleeve fabric is ants at the picnic.
2mm plastic buttons were expected at this price range, but their 1mm MOP buttons at additional cost looked even worse.
Reasonably tidy buttonholes.
This shirt was a pleasant surprise. As our first shirt from this maker, the fit was unobjectionable. They come off as a strong contender to Lee Baron (a favorite) and they are similar in terms of construction, details, and house fabric quality (or lack thereof). Where Lee Baron tends to lean towards a ‘comfort’ fit, William Cheng delivered a ‘slim’ fit down to a tee. They are definitely a good entry-level option for bespoke shirts.
