Ahh Bobby posting my shirt again!

Another reason he's awesome.

That's the same material my MIL used to make the baby bag I use when I'm out with my sons haha.


I bought it for him at Joann's.

Got my stuff in last week from Bobby from back when he was in Dallas. Quality work and very precise. Very impressed and the procedure with garments coming all the way from Thailand was surprisingly simple.

This is the perfect thread revival.. I'm getting married next year and wanted a custom suit for it and some new shirts for work. Timing couldn't be better, thanks for the heads up Stive!

Just shoot him an email (found via his website). Tell him your city and ask him what dates he will be there.

Also be warned, your first time can be interesting since it's almost always in a hotel room. He will have a bunch of cloth swatches to look at.

If you've never met Bobby you should. Give him a test run with something simple (shirt and a pair of slacks or something). If you like it, he'll be back again late summer or fall and again next spring and you can spring for a bigger haul.

FYI, he WILL try to upsell you if you buy small but he's nice about it and does it in a teasing/pleasant way. Don't feel bad about saying no...he's heard it before. And looking at it from his side, he's flying half way around the world and going city to city for a month; he's simply trying to make a living.

I made the mistake of having my three daughters with me last time. He had them picking out their favorite patterns for my shirts then playing them against me on "why aren't you going to get the one she likes too!" It was well played on his part and my kids had a blast but I ended up walking out with a few more shirts than I had planned!

He'll also keep your measurements on record and you can order more after you receive the first stuff if you're happy with it.

Reached out to him today and got on the schedule for when he's in San Antonio for a suit for my wedding this summer, a blazer and maybe a couple shirts.

If you'd like to look really sharp for you wedding and it's not too much on your groomsmen, try to get them to go in too

What IrishTXAggie said.

There have been several Texags guys that have used him to outfit the whole wedding party. If you and the groomsmen wanted to do it but one of them can't make the fitting just have him go to a local tailor shop for measurements and then send those to Bobby. If I'm not mistaken that's how Bobby originally got connected to Texags (sent Bobby measurements that were taken by someone else and Bobby made the suit and shipped it to him).

No groomsman. 2nd wedding for both of us so we're doing Antigua with just the 2 of us. So I can go all out if I want.

So if you do not twitter or Facebook how can you reach him? I sent an email last week on his website but have not had a response. His schedule shows he is in Houston thru tomorrow.

He got back to me pretty quickly through the website. I'm meeting him in a few weeks in SD.

Met him today in Houston. Bought some suits and some shirts.

Good, fast, thorough, and good prices.

With respect to the fabrics that he offers, I had some suits done at Harold's in the heights (RIP). He offers the same fabrics for ~ 1/2-1/3 of the price.

Given exactly what he measured, how he measured, and the questions he asked, my expectations are high. I'll post re results when they arrive.
