Critique my MTM shirt

First online MTM shirt, cheapest fabric I could find so I could get ripped to shreds by SFers, and a template for future, more expensive purchases with nicer fabrics. Please give advice for future purchases. Thanks!

Looks pretty good all around. Any serious criticisms would be nitpicky.

Fit looks good.
You might consider asking for reduced tie space and a little bit longer collar points.

+1. Looks good overall though. Where did you get it from?

Got it from Modern Tailor, not a bad $19.95 trial. What I don't like is that the sleeve seems to pull forward from the back of the shoulder to the biceps, as most noticeable in the third picture.

Some might suggest making the yoke a little narrower (say 2cm), as that's the feedback I got on my MT trial shirt that looked very similar in the shoulders. I'd also choose a different collar; cutaway collar @ 8cm is the SF Approved standard (choose the 7cm cutaway and then specify 8cm in the additional requirements box). But again, this is being picky and overall that's a pretty decent fit for a first attempt.

For whatever it's worth, this seems exactly right. You seem to have a taller frame and longer neck, so the collar points look puny by comparison.

Thanks guys, after this thead I went with a $19.99 Oxford cloth blue trial shirt (w/ thick MOP buttons for an extra $4.99). Like i NEEDED to spend more money! We'll see how this turns out, maybe I'll place an order for three shirts around Xmas time if I'm happy with the quality/fit

Slim shirt all around; may wish to extend sleeves a bit.

After buying a $20 trial shirt, what kind of prices are you looking at for men's dress shirts?

I'll just +1 on some things...

collar space smaller, longer collar points
longer sleeves

wash this 3-5 times before reordering. look at sleeve length and neck for shrinkage.
