Deo Veritas-Made To Measure Home Run

I’m gonna shill for a moment folks. But with no compensatory favors coming my way. I write about things I like…not about things people incent or induce me to write.
So there’s a supply chain guy. An expert in process and shipping and point A to B kinda things…all of which I have no interest in. Even though supply chain efficiency can create competitive advantage...but I’ll leave my work sh_t right there. So this supply chain consultant guy, Vinnie, spends tons of time in Hong Kong. And what do guys with a free weekend in Hong Kong do? (keeping it clean here folks…free time sans options for opium and bootie) Eventually, you have a shirt or two and maybe a suit made.
So Vinnie did just that and more. Back home in Chicagoland, after plying his supply chain prowess and establishing relationships with reputable shirtmakers in Hong Kong, he launched Deo Veritas. And the product my friends, is rock ass solid for the money.
I’ve experienced cheap made-to-measure. And when I had money, years ago, I indulged in the full-ass monty of bespoke shirts. Here’s the bottom line…a hundred bucks give or take, gets you the best value in made-to-measure that I’ve ever seen. This first shirt that I tried was less than a hundred bucks and I was able to tart it up in fine style.
 And I just popped for two more, motivated in part by the 20% off deal that Vinnie is currently offering. I ordered my standard size but you can tweak the sizing any way you want. 
I also requested that Vinnie lower the monogram placement to my standard “opposite fifth button” position. I have nothing to suggest to Vinnie regarding improving his high value offerings butcept one. Let’s get some additional fabrics in the bullpen my friend!
Now get over to Vinnie’s and order yourself a shirt or two.

Onward...with a 20% Deo Discount under my belt...but competing not...with my washboard abs.

ADG, II
