A few months ago I created this thread.

I decided I wasn't really happy with any of the shirts featured so I had two more made by other MTM people. Both shirts have been worn and washed at least twice.

I'm really looking any blunt yet constructive criticism. Please be very specific about what features of a certain shirt you think don't work and what you would do to change them.

Thanks.

P.S. It was Sunday morning when I took these photos, please excuse the bed head and the 5:00 shadow.

You have very sloping shoulders and neither of these shirts address the issue.
If you are using online shirtmakers, the best thing to do is send them these
pictures and ask if they can cut shirts to accommodate your shoulders.
If you were measured in person for these shirts, whoever did the measuring
or the cutting didn't do an adequate job accommodating your shoulders.

first shirt looks too long in the sleeve

second shirt looks like the arm holes are too high in relation to your chest size- making the fabric pull

I think

I'm just going to float this idea, and you can take it or leave it, but wearing your pants above your belly button may be contributing to the overall rounded/billowy look here.

With regard to the sloping shoulders, both shops told me that this was as far as they could go to address that particular aspect of the fit.

The feedback with regard to the shoulders is pretty much what I suspected. Thanks for contributing.
