Jantzen, Reliable at last?

Ataturk · Jul 30, 2009

I'd take their description of the "140s" etc. with a grain of salt. Though if anybody finds a good, solid light blue let me know. I recently ordered # 2250 which looks like it might be close (but a twill).

Cool. As long as you're not riding in on a dreadnought.

I have #21, it is decent. It could be softer.

Would you mind posting a pic?

+1 on the pic. It is as "aqua" as it appears on the site?

My first janzten order sucked bigtime.

Need to get them to do this same shirt again, hopefully I'll get it for free.

The I raise my arms and the shirt is tight, and restrictive, what should I alter? The chest measurement?

Alter your post. We need pictures.

Sleeves are misleeding, 3 inches of my wrist show when i bend my arms. I'm thinking adding 1 each to each side of the shoulders, subtracting 3 inches from the hips, adding .5 inches to the length, adding .5 inches to the collar, and adding 1 inch to each side of the shoulders.

Henry Boogers · Jul 31, 2009

Although I've found good measurements for myself I'm not a shirt expect so I will largely defer to others here. The one point that I wanted to make is that if the arm holes and body of the shirt fit correctly it should correct the sleeve issue you are experiencing. I had the same problem with ill fitting shirts riding up until I corrected the height of the arm hole.

wagthesam · Jul 31, 2009

How do you correct the height of the armholes?

did you already wash and dry a few times?

wagthesam · Aug 1, 2009

No, I just got this shirt a few hours ago. Its basically unwearable. The sleeves look ridiculously short when I bend my arms.

Quick question - is the mistake Jantzen's or yours?

In other words, did they cock up measurements you sent them, or did you send them cocked up measurements to start with?

dinted voice · Aug 1, 2009

Can we get a picture of you bending your arms or getting the sleeves to ride up your arm?

I don't think that adding an inch to the shoulders is the fix, either.

Frence Blue Fine Twill with White Classic Stripe, 100's 2 plys, 100% European Cotton.
