Does anyone have any recommendations for a Leeds / Yorkshire tailor that makes decent quality shirts to measure?

I can't find anything suitable off the peg without one or more dimensions being freakishly oversized or far too small and I'd really like a few shirts that just fit properly.

I don't want to be paying £100+ for them if I can avoid it (this is the Yorkshire section at the end of the day) but appreciate that stuff like this costs money.

Any suggestions for a decent traditional (non-designer mark-up) place in the area?

This is the only one I can find at the moment:

http://www.oakwood-tailors.co.uk

Have any of you used them? I'm tempted to pop over tomorrow for a chat but thought it best to check with the all-knowing PH first smile

Try Mullen and Mullen in York. They did a great job on a suit for me and they do shirts too. Also believe they'll travel to see you www.mullenandmullen.co.uk

I was thinking I might get some gear done by them, they won't even need to change the labels, it will all look personalised for me!
