Can anyone compare the sizing to Clarks DBs? Sorry for the revival.

How fitted should a shirt be in the back? I'm thinking I had them go too far... Anyone have pictures?

Has anyone else's DBs sole separated from the upper?  I've only had mine for 5-6 months now I've just noticed it on both boots.

I just read through this entire thread. Talk about too much free time.  

Would there be any issues with altering the length of a peacoat? I'm getting the Schott DU704i (pretty much a slim 740).  I'd like to shorten the overall length from 33" to 31" or 32".  

I'm buying a peacoat from Schott (DU753) with a "leather under collar trim" in oxford grey. Would it look weird to pop the collar? I just noticed how big the collar is, too.    A pic of the peacoat:
