This is my second try. I posted in the jantzen thread but did not get a response so I'm starting a new thread.

Thinking +.5 on the neck, -1 on the chest, +1 on the length.

For a first try (?) at Jantzen, the sleeves don't look that short to me; you must have done your homework. Give it a wash or two, then check the sleeve length and the chest.

You might be right on the neck.

A formerly devoted 15/33 OTR, I used to think that my sleeves were just the right length. Now I know better, having consulted with Ricky.

Nah its my second try lol. During the first one my sleeves were two inches short. I'll wash it. I don't usually use the dryer and I just cold wash clothes, shouldnt make a difference right?

This one is the 11. They told me that the 1 and the 11 are now the same fabric.

In the first pic, the sleeves look way too long. The shoulders are also too wide.

You could probably benefit from some darts in the back of the shirt as well because from the front, the chest/belly measurements look good, but there's too much fabric at the back.

In the comments, you should just ask them to add two 1inch darts at the back. All of my jantzen shirts have darts in them.

Shoulders do appear a little wide. Agree that lengthening the next shirt might be better depending on where you wear your pants at ( hip vs true waist). All in all, a good fit. But I'd iron a shirt before trying to see how it looks.

It looks a little stiff, have you laundered it yet? It will also need a good pressing before wearing it out, otherwise the fit seems to be good.
