TGIF Shopping: MTailor

By Anthony DeWitt Jan 5, 2015 11:39 AM

Until recently you had to leave your house to have the experience of a tailored suit or shirt. But as the tech world has started a heavy descent into fashion you now can have shirt made from the comfort of your home with your iPhone or iPad. MTailor a new startup founded by Stanford graduates, Miles Penn and Rafi Witten, uses image-processing technology to bring this service to the palm of your hand. While it won’t take away the quality of a good tailor it offers a pretty neat option for a fraction of the cost. They have more than 50 fabric options and the shirts start at $69 a very nice price point for a custom shirt. They also guarantee that if you don’t like it they will remake it for free or provide a full refund.

Here’s how it works:

First you download the app for iPhone or iPad Design your shirt including fabric, collar and cuff.
Put your device on floor (At least 10 feet away) so that it can see your whole frame.
Make one spin so it can measure you.
Order the shirt once it has measured your dimensions.

The app uses machine learning technology and mathematical algorithms to create a full 3D model of you from your outline. And according to MTailor the app is more accurate then regular tailors. They ran an experiment in which they tested regular tailors against the app just to see what would happen. On average the app was 20 percent more accurate. While that numbers don’t lie we still love the experience of going to a real tailor to experience the art of if it all. The two founders, who left their first jobs at Goldman Sachs and Google, plan on expanding their offerings to other clothing and even women’s wear. Download the app and let us know how it goes.

Todd Snyder and Lagavulin team up for some serious Scotch menswear

Man, Jacket, Whisky

Did you know Lagavulin has its own officially registered tartan? That’s impressive enough, but now you can get it on some incredible menswear from Todd Snyder, who put it on a suede jacket, a wool scarf, and other goodies.

The two brands just released Time & Craft, a seven-piece, limited-edition capsule inspired by the distillery’s Islay home. It lands as Todd Snyder turns 15.

80 grand for this new G-Shock? Casio says it’s worth it

Watch, Face, Numbers

Sapphire is great at plenty of things: resisting scratches, looking expensive, and… shattering when you drop it. That last one isn’t normally an issue for a G-Shock, a watch whose whole personality is built around not breaking at all.

So naturally, Casio had to challenge the status quo, and spent roughly eight years making a G-Shock out of sapphire.

James Bond style on International James Bond Day: These are the best looks James Bond ever wore

Sean Connery as James Bond

It is no secret that James Bond is one of the most stylish men in fiction. He has been a pillar of fashion and has driven fashion for men since he launched on October 5th, 1962. 64 years later, we still look to him for inspiration. But what is it about the debonair double-0 that keeps us enthralled with his sartorial choices? I can tell you it is because he follows the simple rule of fit over fashion. He doesn’t wear bright colors or crazy patterns. His looks are timeless and elegant. And, all of them fit perfectly. Everything looks as though it was made for him. That is why James Bond style endures. And since we’re celebrating James Bond today for International James Bond Day with a book, a watch, and rankings of his best movies and actors, I figured we couldn’t pass up the chance to check out his favorite looks too.

But with 25 movies under his belt, there are hundreds of looks to choose from when picking his best. So, I scoured the films (tough job) and came up with my favorite looks from 007.
