          😃 I'll re-post this somewhere sensible so that it's more easily available…

              @HeavyGenes:

              Thanks for sharing @neph93 and yes please let me know how it turns out.

              Picked up my shirt yesterday. It's the 165 double indigo herringbone work shirt. Despite being XL (my size) they came up pretty big. It was very blousy in the back, long, and a little wide in the shoulders. Seeing as it was an outlet purchase and (relatively) inexpensive I thought my seamstress could have a crack at it. She's taken in a wabash vest for me before and hems and repairs my denim.

              Her initial suggestion was to take it in at the sides and do something to the back (Like a pleat maybe? She's Bosnian, I'm British and we're speaking Norwegian so I'm unsure of how to translate it). I felt that would be going a bit far, so we agreed she should take it in from the pits all the way down,  giving it more of a fitted inswing than work shirts generally have and to make the back area smaller. The gusset was going to have to go but she would try to recreate the felled seam. As it turned out she couldn't as it was just too thick for her to deal with. It should be noted that she generally tailors mens suits and adjusts wedding dresses etc so she isn't a denim specialist.

              It turned out pretty well. She does tidy work. It was expensive. She charges for her time and it was a long job. This is also Norway and wages are high, so savings made in the outlet got eaten up. Not that this was a big issue. I love this material and now have a shirt in it that fits. It is too expensive to be done regularly however, or with full price shirts. I'm also of the general opinion that Haraki-san's design shouldn't be fekked with and only get this kind of work done if the item won't be worn without it.

              Here's her solution to the felled seam problem. Tidy, but ruins the nerdy aesthetic of the felled seams.

              Here's the finish where the gusset used to be. I thought she solved that very well.

              Here's the new silhouette.

                      @bryaneidins cheers. I'll have my infinitely better half take a pic tomorrow. The fit is quite different to my other workshirts now.

                          Actually this is one of the things that has the opposite effect. For some reason the wife thinks it's a bit weird to take photos of me so that other men* can look at them on the internet [emoji1]

                                          Here's one with the background in focus. It's a nice view to wake up to.
