Sleeves look kinda long and shoulders a bit big for MTO

The sleeves are an easy fix, correct? I'm not looking at a hefty fee for a decent alteration there, am I?
I'll have to live with the shoulders I suppose since that would be a huge operation from what I understand.

Anyone toss their portuguese flannel in the dryer after a cold wash? I'm curious about how much shrinkage to expect.
Thanks..

I am between sizes. I size up and the. Hit in the dryer and the size is perfect. I would say it doesn't go down a size but probably between 1/2 & 3/4

Assume you sized up per the guidance and found it big? Just got mine and found the same. Anyone take their usual size and it worked out?


I'm going with my usual size next time for PF. I got size L and even after multiple dry sessions it's still too big.

My PF is perfect in the shoulders and arm length, a little big in the chest/body, and ENORMOUS around the neck. For my tastes, the shirt would benefit significantly from a more structured button down collar.

Hope the whole NMWA crew is safe and sound. Looks like NYC got a pretty decent accumulation

The sleeve can always be altered however be very careful not shorten it too much. To look looks great, though if I may adding some black shoes would have enhanced the look. Maybe next time depending on the weather you could wear oxfords or some sort of elegant boots. sporty but yet elegant.
