Are the purple label t shirts worth their price? I really like some of the colors, but I want to know how do they hold up after washing? Does the neck band retain its shape well? Do they shrink a lot?

Is the difference between a Handsewn dress shirt and a machine sewn dress shirt noticeable to the point it justifies spending the extra money? What are the advantages to a handsewn shirt over a machine sewn shirt?

So I have a linen silk blend Ralph Lauren purple label suit jacket that I love wearing for the summer. The buttons aren’t tight at all, the jacket is my usual coat size 38R, the shoulders seem to loo to be in the right place and standing still there’s very little stress marks. When I do the “hug yourself” challenge I can feel it pulling at my upper arms and across my back, and I can see stress marks forming on the side seems of the jacket. I haven’t tested it but I am worried eating might be uncomfortable as well. Local tailor is good but a little expensive. Is it worth letting this jacket out or should I just suck it up?
