Dear all,

I finally managed to log in ufff :D
I am a member of thelondonlonge for at least one year but I guess I will apper as a new member because in order to log in I have tried to register myself many times with similar but no the same screen name than the previous one.

I wanted to infom you that I have written an article about the full process of a bespoke shirt made from the most reputable shirtmaker in Spain.
I think it can be helpful to know a little bit more about our sartotialist work. I believe there is good sartorialist skills in other countries apart form that coming from the UK, Italy and EEUU.
I hope you enjoy it and make comments in the "comentarios" window.
My best regards

Because some of you probably do not speak Spanish I post here a few photos of the process.
Warmest regards

I will tried to post some more photos once the shirt is at home. In the meantime you can see the rest the full process in the Spanish web

Bienvenido al LL, El Aristócrata. Permítame felicitarle por su blog.

You've posted a very thorough description of the bespoke shirtmaking process at camisería Burgos. For members who did not follow the entire article it's interesting to note that apparently this long-established family business employs three master cutters with a combined century of experience in the Madrid firm.

I would love to see larger photos of your completed Burgos shirt.

From what you have shown, Burgos indeed appears to merit mention in the same rank as the better Italian, English, or American makers. Certainly Don Jaime's shirts usually look good.
