Hi friends. I just got a remake of my first Proper Cloth shirt. It's an untucked casual linen shirt. I want a more relaxed look but still polished. Think southern Italy or Naples during the summer. I'm curious to get folk's feedback on changes. I'm 6ft 190lb with long arms. Thanks!

my two cents. The shirt fits you pretty cleanly. Perhaps you could slim the body and upper sleeves slightly but don't overdo it.

I'd shorten the body by a inch or so if you plan to wear it untucked.
I think a French placket will look a little cleaner.
Lastly, undo another button on top.

I'd say reduce the shirt length about 1-1.5 inches (at least) if you're wearing it untucked that way it hits about mid-crotch to right above mid-crotch. You could probably afford to take things in .25-.3inches just to get it sitting a bit closer to the body, but seems like it drapes well.

I also, think their stylists/customer service folks do a pretty good job, of steering you if you tell them what you're going for (at least in my experience)

I agree with what the others said about the length.

It could be taken in, but perhaps in the summer you want something more relaxed. That's up to you and how you feel in the shirt, which isn't something we can tell from the pictures.

Other than that, the shirt fits well, the back and front drape cleanly and the shoulders seem right.
