I just received my first Modern Tailor "trial" shirt, and I am not very happy with the results. Fit issues aside, there are some obvious construction problems. The sleeve is twisted and it shows a lot near the cuff pleat. Also, the collar curls a lot. These photos are taken after one wash (hang dry).
Other issues are my fault. The chest is too tight. It probably needs an extra two inches. Does anyone else have any comments on the fit or construction? I'd be willing to try them again if the sleeve and collar issues are fixed. This is the medium cutaway collar (stiff).

Photo could probably use a good white-balance, but a nice touch nonetheless! Gotta say I'm very pleased with the results, customer service, and turnaround time so far. I went with the uni stripe in the cotton/poly blend since I'm still working out the finer points of my measurements so I figured I'd experiment with cheap fabric. Just a few years ago people were warning that Asian MTM was a toss-up both with results and with delivery time. People were saying expect 6 weeks or more. Moderntailor seems to have gotten on top of both of these. So far my results have been consistent with what I ordered, and have arrived speedily to boot.
