Title says it all. What do you think of the fit of this shirt?

Tuck it in, it's easier to judge it that way. From what I see here, slightly higher armholes would work to your advantage as well as narrowing the shoulders by a hair.

Just came out of the bag, was excited it arrived

I was 95% happy with it (compared to a lot of the fit pics I see on here, no offense to anyone). Yes, the shoulders need to be taken in a hair and the arms extended a hair? I would have liked the armholes to be a bit higher/tighter, but already had one shirt that didn't work out so well and cautioned on the safe side (maybe a little too much). Will try to get some updated tucked in pictures tonight.

some of that will be alleviated once OP launders the thing a few times. then we will have a better idea of what is too big.

You should wear it and wash it 4-5 times before trying to determine any adjustments. Also know that different cloth shrink more/less than others. I have 2 shirts made from different cloth with identical specs, and one shrunk more than the other (both 100% cotton).


Overall pretty good.
Agree that right nor the shoulders are a hair large.
Your sleeves are long if anything, do not lengthen.
Perhaps a smaller circumference sleeve, they are quite loose.
I think the armhole looks good. You don't want it so tight you can't move.

Looks great to me. The arms are a bit baggy though, sleeves might be slightly too long and the arm holes could be slightly smaller. Wash it a few times and see how it goes... of course every fabric shrinks differently though, but this is definitely wearable and probably better than most things you can find OTR.

bring in the shoulders a bit
trim bicep area
consider adding darts

I suspect after washing the collar will be too tight since it's already looking snug.

Wash it two or three times and post again. Can't tell much about its fit when it's fresh out of the box.
