My turn to do a Jantzen thread
Got two shirts in the mail today, can't tell you what fabric but one is a sumptuous diagonal-weave end on end (I think) and the other is cotton broadcloth (not pictured). The former immediately becomes my best shirt"”the fabric isn't quite as good as FIH Ties' herringbone but the fit is incredible, esp. considering it's my first try. A couple of pics:
Considering letting the shoulders out a hair, or maybe just have him broaden the back a bit? Also considering bringing in the "˜back waist' a bit, or asking for darts.
Nothing to complain about from the front. The cuffs are single cuffs, which I would like to be stiffer next time. No links so the sleeves are hanging at their full length. I went up a quarter inch on the collar from my measured size, but will have to go up another quarter inch. It's snug now without being washed yet. Armholes and sleeves are great, small and slim respectively. Interestingly, the side seams are not gusseted. Guess they cleaned up their stitching at the end of the seam so it doesn't need to be hidden anymore
Sorry about wrinkliness. Army or not, I don't have an ironing board down here.
