For the price, website navigation, detailed fabrics, consistent turn around times, and A+ customer service I'd gladly compromise with the limitations of PC's fit algorithms/patterns. For the record, I have a 40.5" chest and a 31" waist. I probably fall just outside of their typical or ideal build.

Both my replacement and 2nd shirt orders just arrived using the modified measurements from PC's suggestions. The fit is far better than my initial shirt, and I really applaud PC's support team for discerning most of the fit issues from just my photo submissions. Will certainly be ordering from them again very soon.

While the fit is far from perfect, I completely understand PC's decision to limit their customization and algorithms in order to keep up with their 2 week turn around times and keep production costs low. What I'd like to see in the future are more options for taller collars, sleeve pitch adjustments, and accounting for a dropped shoulder.
And a soft Milano!!!!!

I like......the soft cutaway ?......ok.......any pics of it open, sans tie?....does it stand up or just flop down?
I actually find it stands better without stays than my Milano collars do with stays. Seems illogical, I know, but it holds up rather well. Not to the level that some here hope for, but not bad at all. I’ll see about snapping a pic sans tie next time I wear it.
Im sorry but what cloth is that exactly?.....niiiice.
Light blue houndstooth, I think 55/45 cotton/linen. Long since sold out. There is one in perhaps a slightly darker shade from G&I on the site. Slightly higher price, but I would assume a more luxurious finish as well.

Somebody do us all a solid and buy this shirt. Would love to see a real life picture of it. It's tempting, but perhaps too saturated.

Thanks for the suggestion! I like this idea - though we have quite a few projects going on at the moment and I'm not sure when we'll be able to set this up.
Thanks Seph - however, this is a real pity. Companies offering a MTM tailoring service should be able to send their customers fabric samples.

You could be grateful and patient. @Seph just answered your question in the affirmative.

Anyone have anything made up in a popover? Any pictures in the wild? Thinking of trying them out for a popover, they sure have some great fabric choices, and I've finally got the fit down pretty good.

I know I’ve seen PC popover pics posted by @mossrockss that are pretty inspiring. This is all I found in a quick search of his blog; maybe he can point to some better ones.

Before you order, see if you can get one of your existing shirts on and off without undoing the bottom buttons. You might want to increase the measurements there. I think their customer service people could advise you on that topic.

I’ve got two. One in denim and one in oxford cloth.
