MTM shirt critique

[DaveDr89]

Comments appreciated on this MTM shirt. I realize the right sleeve is too long, but other comments appreciated.

I'm no expert but it looks to be too big about everywhere.

The MTM shirts people keep posting on here for critiques always look all out of whack!

Both sleeves actually look too long. If this wasn't labeled as an MTM shirt, I would have thought it was OTR...looks pretty bunchy in the arms and around the waist.

I like the collar, looks like a RL Black Label. But the body is very blousy. For your body type I don't think you want to skin tight but there is definitely too much fabric there. It also appears in one of the pictures that the seam doesn't sit properly on your shoulders, it looks like the yoke is too big and thus causes the arms to be longer than necessary (although I suspect they are too long even if the yoke was sized right). To my eye the sleeve seams should be slightly more vertical.

Seriously! I actually expect to see a sloppy mess when I open threads like these.

The body is too blousy, but the biggest issue is that there is significant bunching of sleeve fabric. I understand that you sometimes don't get everything right with the first MTM or bespoke shirt, but something basic as the right sleeve length should be possible.

Guess most what you see here are folks measuring themselves and then ordering online. I hesitate calling this MTM since IMHO MTM implies a professional taking the measurements and ideally making small adjustments after a fitting.

Was it washed three times in a row yet? Do that first, then post the pics/

 

[DaveDr89]

Yes, was washed several times. Measurements were actually taken by a profesional. Shirt is from Gitman Bros. Seems to fit pretty good but I agree pics don't look so great.

The back could be cleaned up a bit, maybe it's because the sleeves are too long it's throwing off how it looks in the picture. Was this a MTM shop on location or a MTM website?

 

[GiltEdge]

I think it looks fine, and I am a MTM shirt rep. You want to have the cuff snug enough that the extra fabric bunching moves, as you move your arm. If it was any tighter than that, if you were my customer, I'd remake the shirt.

 

[DaveDr89]

it was a local clothes shop that takes the measurements and sends them to Gitman Bros for the order. I had the cuff buttons moved to make them a bit snungger but still there is too long on the right. I'm not that worried about sleave length as that is easy to fix, buth rather more concerned about the overal fit. For comparison I have some Barba white label OTR shirits that are probably too tight in the shoulders but sill look pretty good overall. I'll post them now. Those are from Shop the Finest and a lot cheaper. If those look better then I am wasting my money/time on this particular MTM process.

Shirt looks fine as a business shirt. Don't worry.

i don't think the gitman program has a lot of room for size alterations.
I think it is more of a customized shirt. collar and cuff choices with limted body adjustments

the sleeves are way too long. after washing the shirt twice.. do not put it in a dryer. have them shorten the sleeves.
what i really notice is that you have different size shoulders. not just a right low. some mtm programs allow differnt size yoke between right and left. this is not a split yoke.

the body is full. your call on that.
