First Jantzen shirt, help me tweak the fit
I don't know about height, but that collar looks way too tight. It's only going to get tighter after you wash it, too. With jantzen I think you need to enter the size of the collar as measured on the shirt--center button to center buttonhole. Then add 1/2 inch for shrinkage. It actually fits...- Telix

First Jantzen shirt, help me tweak the fit
So I'm wearing it again now. I tucked it in with a bit of a fold on each side to adjust the billowing, I think it's working well. I've tucked in about 3/4" on each side of the belly area, so I think maybe I can adjust that about 1"-1.5" safely. The major issue I'm noticing is...- Telix

First Jantzen shirt, help me tweak the fit
1. Wider shoulder. 2. Looser chest. 3. Higher, more spread collar (with double buttons). 4. Re-shaped, loosened sleeves. 5. Re-tucked at the waistband. You would benefit from a wider shoulder because, as is, your arms are bulging out sideways very dramatically from your torso, making your waist...- Telix

First Jantzen shirt, help me tweak the fit
It's too tight across the chest, too narrow in shoulder width, and too short in the collar. I actually think the shoulders are pretty perfect... why would you adjust it? I'm also confused why the back seems loose while the chest is somewhat tight.- Telix

First Jantzen shirt, help me tweak the fit
Have you washed the shirt at least once? I would recommend this before you make any adjustments. No, it's straight out of the package. I usually get all my dress shirts dry cleaned and pressed, because I despise ironing and can never do it well. Should I have it dry cleaned, or will that not...- Telix

First Jantzen shirt, help me tweak the fit
Finally got my shirt from Jantzen (took about 2 months), and I'm pretty disappointed. Not with the shirt, which is quite nice, but the fit. It's just wonky all over. I've included some photos for comments. I haven't ironed the shirt yet, and didn't attempt to make it look perfect before taking...- Telix

Is there a thread dedicated to tweaking MTM clothing? I don't want to start a new thread about my first Jantzen shirt if there is a thread already about MTM shirts or something.- Telix

5EP x SF jean post pics
I just saw these on the Denimbar blog and am going to try on a 36" tonight. Considering my natural waist is around 36.5" and my 33" slim jims are snug in the thigh now, I'm hopeful these work out. If I buy in-store or over the phone, can I still use our denimbar code? Edit...- Telix

Looking snazzy but not out-of-place at my new job
Why would it be silly? Two phrases come to mind here: 1) Dress for the position you want, not for the one you have. 2) If unsure, always overdress. While you might "feel" silly, most, if not all, people will never think negatively about people who dress well. However, you can look REALLY...- Telix

Looking snazzy but not out-of-place at my new job
I'm going to be starting my first (non-creative) professional job in late August, at a University library. I'll be working with librarians, librarian IT staff, and academic faculty. Most people I saw there while interviewing didn't dress particularly fancy - no ties that I saw. Some people were...- Telix

I'm interested in acquiring : A Spruce/Wings and Horns Tiger Fleece hoodie in Large, preferrably in Kelly Green, but other colors are options.
