So I have this Piattelli from Barneys and it is the best fitting shirt that I have, so I would like to mail it to Jantzen and get a few more made. I would also like to make some changes to the shirt, so give me your advice! Please disregard the pitiful picture. I didnt realize it was this bad until I got on the computer!

I am going to send them my neck measurement so that will be spot on. I would like to take in the shoulders maybe an inch, and I think I will have the sleeves slightly shortened as well. I am now thinking about taking in the waist alittle bit too.

If you are planning on tucking the shirt in, then tuck it in for the picture.

FWIW, I think I am going to have them shorten the length by 1.5-2 inches so that I can wear it tucked or untucked.
