And then the third issue: I don’t live in a major city anymore, so unlimited access to outlets (thinking: NYC) is just not an option. If I want to buy an Eton shirt, for instance, I’m buying on online and then paying money to have it tailored vs. having that all handled in the store as part of the purchasing experience.

Yeah and for me, I’m tall(er) and thin. Slim fits are often a complete hit or miss — arms might be too tight, mid-section not slim enough, chest too tight (but mid-section fits well), etc. I’ve had good luck with Eton in the past, but I’m not trying to fork up $250 for dress shirts.
And when you factor in the cost of tailoring these items, begs the question if it’s just not worth getting a MTM that fits perfectly from day one.

So the question for me is really whether the quality of OTR is simply better at that $150-175 price point (vs. buying 5+ MTM that average at the same price). If there’s no discernible difference, then why not just go custom?
