I think that if you want to look a bit younger and tailored you should:
-take in the sides a bit
-the shoulder is a bit wide and droops, make it more narrow


It isn't a bad looking shirt as is. But, with a few tweaks it could be really sharp. I think you are off to a good start.

In fact, I would take this in to a local tailor and have him take in the sides a pinch and see how you like it first. I did that with some of mine a few years ago and that was the perfect starting point for moving towards a more tailored MTM looking shirt.

Once you get this right, you will be hooked!

BTW, you look like a somewhat large and tall guy. You might try a slightly larger collar. Something a bit taller.

Yes bigger guy 6' 192lbs - that picture makes me look even bigger then I am. I larger collar is on my list of things to change. I having me regular shirt maker, measure me up for 5 shirts today, but based on ricky's firts attempt this could be last order with my local guy as I think I can make Jantzen work well for me.
