    To note, you absolutely do not need to increase the waist circumference. This is an issue of personal preference and you should do what you want, of course, but my view on the shirt is that your waist looks totally fine.

    I would say shoulders, chest, arm width, and cuffs need to be reduced. The collar type also looks a bit big for your neck. The actual measurement looks fine, but the size of the collar looks big in proportion to your neck.

    Do the cuffs feel okay and the sleeve length is good? If those feel good, I would both add pleats and add to the yoke, definitely.

    I think you're correct in that this is likely due to a yoke issue. I also add pleats to all of my shirts, which seems to help some. Does the chest and upper arm feel tight at all?

    Define "anyone"? Note that if you're having consistent problems between vendors it might be an error in your measurement.

    Generally my arms are too big for their sleeve width, even though it fits most everywhere else. I honestly didn't even realize y'all had these -- I'll give these a try and report back (would love to see one in black :-).

    @Seph when are the bigger drops of the fall/winter fabrics hitting the store? I tore through the elbow of my favorite Black Watch shirt and need a new one.

    I think this is good advice. Additionally, I know you also mentioned that you'd like to wear it untucked, but it seems a bit long as is. I think a good rule is for the bottom of the front hem to hit the bottom of your fly. But the yoke/chest and hips seem a bit too relaxed as well.

    Sounds like they were had a ****** suit? I think you'd be good.

    I can add to this too. I ordered a tuxedo for my wedding kind of last minute after a MTM order I made was a complete disaster (so much so that I refused to go back and have them try again). I used the measurements off my best-fitting custom suit, and they were pretty bang on. Actually putting...

    One consideration -- there might still be a delay with customs when you order something with MOP buttons, which could account for the increased amount of time.

    Pros: I found the measurements generally pretty bang on for the suiting. You have a good degree of customization available as part of the standard design, and the price is extremely competitive with most other virtual tailors. Fabrics are generally from high-quality mills and the construction is...

    I would definitely order your standard back measurement and not decrease with pleats. They provide a little bit of give for things like reaching forward and should not be in a "flexed" state at rest. The difference is very subtle.

    Interesting perspective and seems to be reflective of the same issue I've experienced a few pages back as a longstanding customer who has recently experienced a frustrating amount of inconsistency with new orders.

    I asked this a few years ago and at the time they could not. Not sure if that's changed, though.

    Thanks, Seph -- I'll respond to your chat in a moment, but wanted to send a photo here as there's no way for me to attach a new photo via DM. This is the mango stripe, and the right side of the shirt as sewn on my shirt is the exterior. Hopefully it comes through in the photo that it's...

    @Seph -- any reports of increased fit issues with folks? I just ordered two shirts that are both completely unwearable (and saw this morning that one of the shirts appears to be actually sewn backwards), which is odd given I had a fit profile locked in that had held strong and was pretty much...

    Just a note that there are those of us who love the stretch fabrics! To that end, what's the rationale behind the non-stretch denim? Has there been an appetite for that amongst denimheads? I ask as I replaced my entire selvedge denim collection pretty much instantly once I tried on some good...

    First off, this definitely isn't bad and is likely fixable. I actually think the suggested edits should definitely clean it up. From perfecting my own size profile, I've often found that a few subtle adjustments in 2-3 areas usually works out better than one bigger adjustment in one spot, but...
