Is it now $20? Was $15 (I believe) when I placed my last order.

As a side, I'm close to having to bail on PC. Is the difference between a 2 pleat and 3 pleat forearm THAT drastic, to the point that forearm tightness is rendered relatively moot?

I've increased the upper arm, but, as some may note, that only marginally adjusts the forearm area. I can't really justify increasing the upper arm more (I don't intend to feature in any upcoming Mr. Olympias lol), and the forearm issue is maddening.

I've been contemplating trying the three pleat forearm because the two pleat is slightly snug. The three pleat is drastically larger then the two pleat? If that's the case then I'll stick with the two.

I don't know, that's what I'm asking on. I hope it makes for a noticeably roomier forearm.

I just received my first shirt changing to the 3 pleat - it does give you a little more room but visually I don't think it is noticeable at all. I was also surprised to find that the 3rd pleat is added to the underside of the forearm instead of stacking onto the top.

Thanks for the info. Can you provide pics of the bold part? I'm not quite sure I've seen anything like it.

I would definitely be interested in seeing a picture of the three pleat sleeve as well if you have a chance.

May take me a few days but I'll get a photo up. I was expecting the fabric to be bunched up, but you can't see any noticeable difference.

No problem. I'm waiting a little while before placing my next order. Hoping the updated stiff Roma spread collar is available by then.

Sorry for the terrible picture, but to the right is the 3rd pleat.

What would the average life line be of a PC shirt, in general?

I know it probably depends on cloth used, number of washes & wear etc but still curious.

I only have two, but I've had them for almost 2 years actually, and they've been holding up quite well. no fraying, no loose stitching, nothing. They're in great shape, and I wore them a LOT, because they were far away my best fitting/quality shirts. I would wear them, toss them in the laundry, do laundry maybe two or three times a month, and immediately wear them and toss them back in the laundry.

the two shirts were a herringbone flannel and a navy donegal flannel, for your reference.

I'm about 2 years deep with mine with relatively consistent wear. No real deterioration to report.

Hello, I just recieved my new Proper Cloth shirt - the first since the test shirt. It has some diagonal lines running from the shoulder across the upper arm to the inner bicep as shown in the picture. Any of you who have experienced the same and found a solution?

What shoulder setting did you go with? It should be some form of sloping (http://propercloth.com/reference/select-optimal-dress-shirt-shoulder-slope/)

After some sharing thoughts with the Proper Cloth support team, we agreed to go with normal shoulders, although they actually wanted me to choose square shoulders and I had been talking about choosing sloping shoulders.

I wouldn't increase the shoulder slope. It looks like you already have some horizontal lines running from the collar to your shoulder. I think you need to increase the chest width by .25-.5". Possibly change the neck posture. But definitely not sloping shoulders.
