The shoulders may take some more thought. Am I correct to assume that shoulder extension could help remedy the divot issue, or is something else causing that? No pics, but I think the sleeve pitch is pretty good.

The choice to extend the shoulders is not what causes divots to appear or disappear. According to our resident tailor-members, divots mean the sleeve caps weren't cut right, whether the shoulders are extended or not.

Definitely extend the shoulders: you'll look much less round and frumpy.

Why don't you just show him Matt's pic with the changes? I think it looks much improved.

Also, I found a fuller sleeve with the "softer shoulder" model to reduce or almost eliminate the shoulder indentations, which is also related to how they adjust the measurement of the sleeve cap.

Agreed. He should charge for that service. Thanks, Matt!

Say it again, just for good measure.
