Please critique my Nialma shirt?

[Decaffeinated]

New to the world of online MTM and just got my first NiAlma test shirt in the mail and would like some feedback -- no idea if I took measurements correctly or what a well-fitted shirt is supposed to be like, so any feedback is helpful (I know neck/wrist feel a little tight right now, sleeves may be a little long, and there's too much material hanging out the back). Thanks!

Do you have a shot of the back?

Is that a churches tie? I think I have the exact tie and nialma fabric as you! (and camera)

Nice fit on the shirt
looks about right for you!

pretty good..

It's obviously not wrinkle free, but it is a good fit all around.

Should my test shirt have darts on the back -- I understand it's a test shirt and all... did others receiving NiAlma shirts have darts on their test shirts too?

Fits well enough.

How is the fabric on your shirt?

It looks nice.

the sleeves are not long. see how they climb up when you bend your arms.
you can move the buttons if the cuffs feel too tight.

If the collar feels tight now, won't it feel tighter still after a wash? I thought MTM shirts were made with a little 'give' in the collar and sleeves to allow for shrinkage.

It's a nice shirt and it appears to fit you well from the photos.

seems to fit well. HAve you washed it a few times yet. Fit after washing will be the better test.

Looks like a great looking shirt, good fit as well...BTW, love the belt.

 

[jessis]

Yeah looks pretty good.

If you did not have the darts you would most likely have bigger problems with the billowing at the back.

Keep the darts - they help shape shirts for skinny guys like us.

Belt is cool.

Thanks for all the feedback -- for those of your wondering, it's one of NiAlma's base styles (cheapest). The fabric feels good and the craftsmanship was superb, no loose threads anywhere. I ordered on a Tuesday morning and got my test shirt on a Saturday. I washed the shirt twice before taking the photos you see above. I left the darts in and got a little more room in the neck and cuffs.

Waiting for the rest of my shirts, but gotta give a thumbs up for the service from NiAlma so far. Recommended!
