Hey guys, I have lurked style forums when I've been bored for the last few months. Anyways, I recently purchased an Energie Dream polo from here:

http://www.ssense.com/Energie-Men-Po...ite_Polo/12560

When I got it, after quickly trying it on, I found it was too loose in the body. So I took it to a local seamstress, and got her to take in the sides. Anyways, after trying it on quickly there, I take it home, try it on, and notice the right seam is straight, but goes forwards on an angle around an inch by the time it reaches the bottom of the shirt (towards the front), and the left seam goes towards the back around an inch by the time it reaches the bottom of the shirt.

So I call her up, and she said she noticed it, but said the shirt was like that when she got it. She said sometimes it happens when clothing companies try and cut corners. She said if I wanted to, I could drive back and she could she me two straight strips of fabric. She said each side had the same amount of fabric taken off. Anyways, I didn't bother driving all the way back, cause I figured she was telling the truth.

so either

a) she's lying and screwed up
b) she's telling the truth
c) energie purposely sells the shirt with a *unique* seam.

Please let me know what you guys think and whether or not you have heard of this before. I appreciate the help.

Braden

I'm not sure but I think its the tailor man. I've had a tailor mess up my shirt before and made the sleeves skin tight. I had to go back and have them fix it.

Just the fact that one seam went forward and the other back sounds like the tailor did it to me. Why didn't you just try shrinking it in the wash first?
