Good afternoon,
Asking for a bit of help here with an OCBD fit. This is how it fits after being washed twice:
Not a huge fan of the fit right now. The collar is too small if I button it up. The chest area it's more slim fitting than I would like and the sleeve cuff width it's too small. Also, it looks kind of weird from the back shot..
I'm after a more relaxed fit, but not too baggy or huge fitting like some old Brooks Brothers or J. Press from the 50's. I would like it to be versatile enough that I can wear it tucked or untucked.
This is what support has adviced:
- Increase the collar by .5"
- We can switch to a full shoulder/armpit fit if you'd prefer. This will give you a bit more range of motion, the trade off being the upper arm will look fuller and more "twisted". It will also raise the bottom of the armhole by 1/8".
- Reduce the midsection width by .4" (.8" in total circumference)
- We can increase the sleeve length by .2".
- Increasing the cuff around dimension will also add volume from the cuff to the elbow. We can increase the cuff around by .3"
- We can add a .25" watch allowance to the left cuff to help the cuff pass over your watch more easily.
I agree with all of them, but I'm a bit confused about decreasing the midsection though... What do you think?
Thanks in advance,
Nacho
