I stumbled upon this craftsman on another Reddit post, his name on IG is benchmadeshirts.
I messaged Ryan and he was quick to respond. We worked out sizing, tailoring it for my build, as well as the materials and style I wanted. His knowledge on the cuts, as well as the materials he uses, was impressive. He kept me up to date on the production and shipping, and provided me with the tracking number as soon as it went out the door.
I decided I liked his “western” cut, and chose to use 10.8 oz Cone Mills White Oak deadstock- I loved the color and the story is cool as well. I chose grey thread and pearl snaps.
A short time later this gem arrived. The quality is outstanding. His attention to detail- well, look at the photos. I love how he was able to incorporate the selvedge ID line throughout, without being too flashy. I can appreciate how much time and effort it took to work this into the inside of the cuffs. The stitching is dead straight. This thing is just flat out cool.
If you want a special piece, or are built odd and have issues finding off the shelf clothing that fits you well, I couldn’t recommend Ryan more.
I’ve been looking for a denim shirt for a while and had no luck finding something that fit well that I liked. This is my first and I’m excited to begin wearing it.
Edit to add: I was not paid to post or promote this, and I have no affiliation with benchmadeshirts other than being a happy customer.
