Actually - I now own 5 different all white Jantzen shirts. 4 with barrel cuffs, 1 with french cuffs, all with differing white-on-white weaves. If Jantzen had 20 more white-on-white fabrics in 110's or the JKT range, I'd buy them.

thanks a lot.

Trimmer side? I just think they fit. Isn't that fit about what virtually everyone here strives for in a MTM shirt? Anyway, they're very comfortable and not tight anywhere. It's literally more relaxing to wear a well fit shirt than an OTR blouse where you're constanly tucking and pulling excess fabric to try to make it not look ridiculous.

This order took about 6-8 weeks. I was a little alarmed at first because I was charged well before the shirts were shipped. I believe they just made an honest mistake. In the end, I believe the photos speak for themselves. I am very pleased.

I agree with jmatt on the fit. After tweaking my measurements twice from Jantzen, my shirts fit exactly how I want them. There isn't a single other non-custom shirt I have that can match the fit on the torso. There's nothing more uncomfortable and irritating than an ill-fitting dress shirt.

I'd really appreciate a report on those fabrics and on which ones you like best...
