Dear Gentlemen, A number of months ago, i ordered my first Jantzen. Having washed it a few times now, I was hoping to get some feedback on fit. Below are three views of the shirt in question, their #11 Super Fine White Plain Cotton.

It seems a bit loose to me overall, especially in the arms. How does it look tucked in, and when you have the sleeves buttoned fully?

Looks like a good fit on the body, and maybe a little loose on your arms. I think that with these shirts the first one or two are "trials" as you refine your numbers to get your best fit.

So actually quite good for a first shirt I'd say. Certainly better than typical OTR shirt.

I'm thinking about sending a well-fitting dress shirt to them to get sized....anyone done that with success?

thanks for the comments regarding the sleeve fullness. i'll try to post pics tucked in on the next go'round.

i realize my sloped shoulders are going to be a little bit of a problem, does anyone think that the shoulders need to be brought in a little?

in general, i thought it was a really good first shot for them. i'm not a particular fan of the fabric but i like having a better fitted shirt that i sort of overlook the rest.

slope the shoulders more, 1/2" at least.
you have a right low shoulder.
hips are a bit snug. did you give a seat measure?

thanks again. i think the neck is probably a little too tight after shrinking. Also, thanks for the advice about the shoulders - i knew that was going to be a problem area. I believe that i gave a hip measurement and will make allowances in the next shirt.
