The pics are bad, and its impossible to shoot a back picture without causing a messed in the back. LOL. First shirt... how's the fit?

Honestly, this looks really good for a first shirt. Sticklers might take issue with the cuff size and maybe a tiny excess of material in the sleeves. But by and large, it's a good fit for the first time out the gate.

May I ask if you've washed the shirt a couple of times, or if this is straight out of the box?

Shirt looks good. You should post picsa after a wash otr two. The only thing I see it might need is the sleeves slimmed up a bit. If this is your first try, you did a good job getting your measurements down.

Overall really good. Shoulders look a bit wide, and I think the cuffs are too long proportionately.

Looks pretty good. Arm holes look nice and high. The sleeves could be trimmed down a touch but any changes you make would be personal taste at this point.

My first shirts from MyTailor were my last. The fit was so uninspiring, they could have been purchased off the rack. If you're gonna have to chase down a fit you might as well go with Jantzen.

Were your shirts made from body measurements or measurements taken from a shirt? I think it's always worth pointing out which. I would hope that they could reliably produce a shirt which fits the shirt measurements given, but interpreting body measurements is a whole different thing.

Does anyone else think the shirt looks a bit short? Unless you wear your trousers up at your waist, I don't think the shirt would stay tucked in all day.

It could possibly use 1/2" or so, but I think it is personal taste at that point. I think the shirt looks good. I think the cuffs look too long for my taste, I might even go a bit longer in the sleeves, but it might be a combination of the pictures and that I have a hard time finding shirts long enough in the sleeve.

Don't be ridiculous! Do you see any Nivea products in that bathroom?! On a less important topic, I like the fit of that shirt.

Agreed. I might get my measurements tweaked but I hardly wear the one shirt I had made a year ago. Crap fabric and poor fit.
