Great looking shirt and looks like you have the sizing down well. I remember the first time I used this pattern a couple of years ago, the placket opening ended up about 2" inches to the left of center, and DH said "thats alright, you have started a new style", but I wouldn't let him wear it (too embarrassed), but you followed the instructions well.

Great job with the colors, and looks like you've got the fitting process in hand. Gasp -- you CUT a S&S pattern master!!! Courageous move, that!

you got great results! it's a very nice shirt. to offer unsolicited advice, i think if you graded up the pocket just a little it would look more proportional. i think you did a great job on adapting the pattern to fit your husband very well.

looks like you got a good fit. I still haven't tried a stretch and sew pattern. I like the contrasting collar. I hope you enjoy your serger. Someday, I keep saying I will get one.

Good job upsizing this pattern. Stretch and Sew mens' patterns are excellent. Too bad there aren't more of them, because the instructions are wonderful.

It's really helpful to see your grading up methods. I might try that idea with some Burda WOF patterns that are about 2 sizes too small for my DH. Congrats on the new serger!
