Haha, I think it might be my messed up posture. I'll try standing up straighter with my just-washed shirt.

As always, I agree with Ataturk. (At least about the back.)

Here are a few updated pictures after one wash. Any noticeable differences?

I think it looks good. Who's the maker? Price!?

I like it overall but find the sleeves too baggy.

The sleeves might be a bit. Perhaps they will shrink a little after another wash?

I got it from Johnathan Behr in LA. It costed me $250 for it.

A poor college student like me can only afford to buy a regular shirt and get it tailor. Props to you man for such nice shirt. I bet you must baby it.

Does it look like the sleeves are a bit too baggy especially toward the forearm? I am also getting a lot of creasing in the inner elbow and at the front of the armhole. Is this common? Thank you.

His website says there's a minimum of 5 shirts. How did that work? Is this your first of 5?

Well, he made me just one when I bought a suit along with it. I guess it's 5 if you order just the shirts.
