Hi all,

new here and looking for a little help. I have an appointment with Joe of mytailor this weekend and I need to bring a shirt as a guide. Im planning on getting to OCBD made. These will be to wear both tucked in as well as untucked. I like a slim fitting shirt and this shirt seems to do a decent job as a guide. I am looking for your thoughts on what I should have Joe change to make this shirt fit better. I am thinking it needs a little taken out on the shoulders. A fair amount in the the waist. I t fits well through the chest. If anything, I may ask for a little more room in the chest. Also I think it would look a little better untucked if it was shorter. Thanks for the help.

Dutch

+1.
Sides need to be taken in and darts added on the back for a better fit.

Your main problem is, that your right shoulder is significantly lower than the left one. I don't know whether they can acommodate for that, if not I'd say save your money and go to a real bespoke shirt tailor. With standard mtm you'll never get a shirt that fits right with that shoulder.

I see you have the same problem I do - buy a shirt to fit your neck, and everything else is too big.

The chest looks about right. The shoulders are too wide, the sleeves are too long, and it should be narrower at the waist, especially around the back.

It obviously needs a good pressing and there is a little boxy in the waist but over all a good fit.
