As much as we ladies like an outdoorsy guy or a hipster who’s arrestingly fresh, let’s face it: Monday through Friday from 9-5, D.C. isn’t Bozeman or Berlin. Most of the guys we lay eyes on aren’t wearing a perfect-fit pair of Levis, a Patagonia windproof vest, a Wolfgang’s Vault vintage T, or an A.P.C. anything during the work week.

No matter. We like well-dressed guys who are attentive to detail, too. Up the ante to a Thomas Pink shirt and a stylin’ suit and suddenly, the corporate uniform doesn’t seem half bad.

But we do understand that even when you bring in a lobbyist’s paycheck, spending money can be hard work. Those of us who are shoe freaks, bag fetishists, or just general shopaholics feel your pain.

Lucky for you, someone’s making things easier. Today and tomorrow at the Marriott on Pennsylvania Avenue, MyTailor.com will be taking measurements for reasonably priced, custom made shirts that will make you look like a million, even if it’s not in your account. Thanks to Tracie Rozhon in the Sunday New York Times Business Section, who confirmed in “The Thrifty Millionaire” that yes, custom tailoring reminiscent of the Hong Kong stopover is available for between $75 and $200 a shirt. Rozhon’s husband’s shirt was under $100. Not bad for French cuffs and 2-ply superfine custom made duds. We’d suggest you call rather than email for an appointment.

Now if we could only find an unstuffy, stylish custom tailor who takes care of the ladies: superfine cotton, narrow fit, spread collar, double cuffed shirts in pink with longer than average tails would be nice. Any leads?
