When the old wardrobe is no longer a cake

"Hi, my name is Seryozha, and I am a fat man" — this was a year ago, when I publicly announced on my Facebook that if by December 30 my weight was more than 82 kilograms, then all my friends (and there are about 5000 of them) would receive any alcohol in one of the Moscow bars for my the bill.

And despite the fact that almost no one believed in the final success of this case over the past months, now the scales show exactly 81 kg (and even in the summer — 98 kg!). So the free booze is most likely canceled, but the global wardrobe change is already in full swing for me. And I am very glad that one of the first to help came the guys from "Shirt to order", who sew shirts to order, taking into account all the features of your figure. They convinced me that every man should have a decent shirt, but I didn't deny it much.

1. As I lost extra pounds, it became clear that a global wardrobe change could not be avoided, and when the story of my weight loss came to a logical conclusion, I realized that it was indecent to pull any further! The lost 20 kilograms did their job — the clothes began to hang on me, as on…

2. "Custom Shirt" is not just an atelier for tailoring shirts and polos to order, but also a super—convenient Internet service that allows you to get a shirt of any color, any style and stick pearl buttons to it at least. Sounds tempting! The Internet service offers you to choose the design of each of the elements of the thing - fabric, collar shape, shape and number of pockets, choose a loose or fitted silhouette, buttons, embroider a personal monogram, etc. By the way, as for the fabric, you can even provide the latter yourself — if suddenly out of 150 options I would not like any of them. But this arrangement is almost impossible.

3. I love that there is no hassle, so for me this service is a real find. The scheme is simple: the designer of the shirt style consists of four global parameters: design, details, embroidery and, of course, dimensions. The eyes run away from such a large selection — all fabrics are of high quality and produced in Germany, Italy and other European countries. And if you order a shirt for the first time, the manufacturer will send you a test shirt made of a simple fabric, but with your size, so that you can make sure of its quality. Only after that, the model you have chosen will go into production.

4. So, first of all, I was asked to choose the design of my future shirt, namely the material from which it will be sewn, the style itself, the type of collar, fasteners and cuffs. I chose a gray shirt with a loose fit without any special frills, but with a perfect fit. About this, however, a little later.

5. The next stage is the selection of parts. To be honest, I've never really bothered to choose clothes, but this game is addictive when the designer "suggests" choosing parameters such as the presence of folds, the presence or absence of pockets, buttons, the contrast of exterior or interior trim and — my favorite — the type of loop lining (it turns out that this happens).

6. Being in the studio, I would have already fucked up, and this is only half the way. For the most fashionable, "Custom Shirt" offers to make embroidery on the shirt — of course, of any color and type anywhere on your shirt, so in theory you can write at least the name of your dog there
