If it was me, I'd ask for slightly slimmer and shorter sleeves.

To me, the biggest issue is the shoulders, which I think would look better if they were shorter/narrower by at least a ½ inch (on each side).

So what you're saying is that I'm NOT Supaman?

Slimmer sleeves... hmmm... I will definitely discuss that. My guess is that the armholes will remain large to allow for movement. But we'll see. I dropped the shirts off at the cleaners today. I'm curious to see hom much more shrinkage we'll get.

What I meant was, that if it only shows pulling when you stand like that - and if you don't routinely stand like that - I wouldn't worry about it.

I agree that the shoulders are a little too big. My two mytailor shirts are also a little big in the shoulders.

Excellent feedback guys! I'm scheduled to meet the MyTailor.com rep, Mr. Ram Keswani, on Thursday.

For those that are interested, I wanted to know which fabrics I selected, so I sent them an email and got an answer.

All these shirts are Two-Ply Superfine Cotton.
That first shirt is under the Twill Fancy Stripe section, model F5729 (HE-7488).

According to the reply, all these shirts were from the "HE-" manufacturer. Anyone know what that is? Hemrajani, maybe?

That fit real looks good.

I recently got some MTM from Mytailor. They factor shrinkage into the fit -- they expect you to wash them.

These are well made shirts -- you don't need to treat them like they are delicate That means they have durable fabric and strong seams.

Go ahead and wash them. They are designed to stand up to a washing machine.

Have you considered a split yoke for your next order? I like the visual interest it adds to the back of the shirt, especially with striped cloth.

So I'm interested in making an appointment to get sized up when their rep comes to Minneapolis. I was wondering if you guys tipped the rep or was there a sizing fee?
