Asking for advice on a TailorStore shirt fit

[calvis]

Hi all,

finding a well-fitting RTW shirt is an impossible task for me, so after wasting hours in the stores I decided to give TailorStore a try.

Shirt I ordered is made from their cheapest Saville Row fabric. While it's quite well sewn (same level as RTW shirts at the same price point), fabric itself is rather poor - hard to iron, translucent and creases easily.

I didn't fully follow their style guide (e.g. my actual waist measurement is larger than what I gave them), but I still think that the result is much better than anything I could find in store.

I would love to get some expert advice from you, allowing me to optimise the measurements for a follow up order.

Below are the parameters. I would greatly value your feedback. Personally, I was thinking about:
- increasing waist and hip measurement by ~3 cm for higher comfort
- incresing seat measurement by ~3 cm to reduce the creasing on lower-back part of the shirt
- reducing bicep measurement by ~1 cm for a slimmer look

Fit details: Normal fit with darts, Business Superior collar. Shirt has been washed a few times already.

Body measurements used for previous order:
Neck 41 cm
Shoulder width 42 cm
Chest 95 cm
Waist 77 cm
Seat 93 cm
Hip 79 cm
Arm length 61.5 cm
Wrist 19 cm
Bicep 31.5 cm
Shirt length 72 cm

Did you add the darts to the shirt?

Did you add the darts to the shirt?

TailorStore added darts on my request because of my V-shaped silhouette. Is there anything wrong with them?

How has the shirt held up? I purchased one and tried to get a little thicker material but it hasn’t arrived yet. I figured it was probably worth the first shirt deal of $46 (including shipping) to take the risk on it. But did you buy more at the full price amount?
