Shirt pulls slightly in side pleats - if I get this shirt replicated, how could it be improved?
Hi all,
I have a shirt that fits almost perfectly, except for some pulling in the side pleats as pictured. I plan to get it replicated via an MTM service - what could I ask them to do to fix the pulling in the pleats?
I'm not a fan of how box pleats look, and the shirt isn't tight in the chest.

I'm hoping for the pleats to lay a little flatter. Already considered posture, that isn't the issue.
Means the shirts cut too slim
hm
The underarms through the sides all look like it's pulling a bit and too slim
Definitely. Arm holes are too high, and it's too slim all around. Shoulder seams look a bit too narrow too, which is why the pleat is stretching out.
Pleats are designed to give you a bit of movement as you move. If they're already sitting like that, it means that the shirts too slim.
I would not get this shirt replicated via m2m
ll bean traditional fit bruhhhh
i need to hit shoulders less
thank you both
it's not fixable with additional length in the yoke? assuming not
Once you start modifying the pattern you might as well get measured in person for MTM
yeah word. would you say it's still passable for everyday wear?
Probably? If it's not uncomfortable go for it
I would say if you've been wearing it until now you're probably fine to keep wearing it until you get the chance to get some new shirts made and phase it out
makes sense
in chicago if you have any recs for MTM
ik we have suitsupply here and they're not horrible
