On my last order, they thought my office was a home and tried twice to deliver after office hours. I managed to get someone on the phone and clarify it was a business address and they got it delivered later that same afternoon.

Managed to get some photos of the offending soft roma button down collar and the strange way it's sagging on my neck. Anyone got a diagnosis? Diameter too large? Too tall and I should go with ivy BD instead?

Cheers!

With a non fused, lightly lined button down collar that's pretty normal. Unlined, unfused lined, and lined fused all have some form of creasing or sagging fabric. I think your right side looks fine but the left is slightly odd. The collar it's self looks like I needs to be pulled down; it looks rolled.

well, I see prices keep creeping up across the board

Hi @Seph or anyone else at the company, I've been a long-time customer since 2014 (love the product, thanks for making good shirts and fits accessible).

I haven't been able to figure out why my recent orders on shirts have not fit well in the shoulder, then realized it must have been something with the change in how you did your fits in October 2023:

I am running into a lot of problems with pulling in the shoulder / shoulder slope. I keep getting these lines running down the shoulder.

Settings for last order of shirts is shoulders lowered 0.6, chest forward 1", neck standard. Something isn't working, whether it's chest should be neutral or shoulders should just be lowered 0.2 or neck should actually be forward 0.5... I haven't been able to figure it out over many orders and remakes now and discussions with support. Could you please take a look at the below pics and possibly diagnose / help? Thanks.

Currently planning my first purchase but have some questions about the advanced posture options. Would really appreciate input from @Seph.

1) I am wondering, from the photo, what shoulder slope option seems most appropriate for me.

2) Shirts tend to stand away from my neck in the back and they tend to be tight on my chest. As a result, I thought I would try both neck and chest forward (1/2inch and 1 inch respectively). Does that sound right in terms of adjustment? Or is that nonsensical?

Have to provide more posture pics if that would help.

holy smackos, price of the brick going up big time with some PC fabrics. I trust that PC is just passing along price increases, rather than gouging, but, man, $150 + tax for McNutt linen is wackadoodle to me.

I can't believe I'm saying this- but with how hard inflation has hit I'm actually a bit surprised that the prices haven't gone up even more than they already have.

Makes me sad (and makes me order less) but at the same time I get it. Their price increases at least feel a bit more modest than other companies and other hobbies/passions of mine. I think my biggest complaint about it is that it feels like more shirts are ending up in the higher price brackets than before.

In my brain I kinda feel like they've always had "price brackets" for shirts and even after adjusting all of the brackets upwards for inflation I feel like more fabrics (maybe its just me having expensive taste) are ending up in the higher price brackets than previous seasons.

Yaaaaaa, the McNutt just rose too high (even if quantifiably defensible) for me. Up from $100 to $150 in 18 some odd months leaves an icky taste. Doesn't help that I'm largely only in the market for linen, and their linen blends don't really appeal. For more refined linens, I'm likely to go elsewhere rather than paying in the $200 vicinity.

I should note that there are niggling fit issues (not dealbreaking on their own, admittedly) that the PC algo can't overcome on my physique. Which, in a vacuum, is understandable, but becomes harder to roll with when the value proposition ceases to exist.

I occasionally get a shirt that's out of spec due to shrinkage or just human assembly. About every other year I try to drop in or have my measurements checked/updated. Usually small changes.

I'll agree though. For me, it's a bit of a hard sell to pay higher prices for linen. I just don't expect linen to be hard-wearing enough usually for me when I do the "cost per wear" equation in my head.
