I was waiting until I fixed it AGAIN and updated it...

The search feature is being updated, I will post a photo, and some of the book excerpts have since been edited. So it's not quite ready for prime time, but getting there.

The book cover is the final version. And I will have some kind of special for Forum members as promised.

Thanks for the post, Andrew.

Hey Steve, I've already ordered and paid for the book -- do I get a member special too?

I have the same problem. I wear a 16.5 neck, 42 coat and have a 31 waist. I have started to have my shirts custom made. Before I went the custom made route, I had my shirts altered. The tailor simply opens the shirt at the side seams and cuts the excess fabric. He also adds darts if cutting alone will not do. This costs anywhere from $25-$30. It is worth it in my opinion.
