RMC started stocking the '65 'All American' and 'All Court' in Feb 2011, at the time, and until now, they were the exclusive retailer.

Just picked this up for Tommy, Real McCoys Harley shirt, size XS.

Was excited to wear my Real McCoy flannel shirt today. This had become too large in the body due to weight loss so I had 2 darts added to the rear which worked out really well.

Looks like an effective solution Barcley , great save on that shirt @den1mhead …....
You might have actually solved a persistent problem for me: I have a similar issue with some of my shirts (too wide an opening) but am not familair with "darts".... What are those? (It's not very clear on the pic)... and would you think a regular tailor would be able to do a good jo at it or is it something more specialized?
Thanks for any tips you can provide! -
@zatenm, see pics below.
First collage is of shirt inside out where darts can easily be seen.
Second collage has arrows indicating where darts start and end.
I reckon this type of work is pretty standard stuff for a tailor. Darts can be added to the front, back, front and back together with the result being a closer fitting shirt. Result

Very clear now, thanks for the awesome pics @den1mhead ! Really appreciate you taking the time.. :*D
Not sure it will work for my purpose though.. I only have the lower waist and opening to tighten.. but a really great tip to have! I can see this working really well on workshirts - maybe one day I'll go for it

I reckon if you were to ask the tailor to start the darting just above the lower waist and run it from that point down to the opening and have two darts front and back you would achieve a satisfactory result. Possible worth exploring? Cheers

Might very well do that.. Will let know you how it turns out if I go it.. Cheers @den1mhead

@zatenm As I tend to have the same issue I was more than interested when I saw how @Haddtoo 555 had slimmed down his shirt(s) nicely. I went to a tailor the other day with my 85 and he also did those darts, but closely and hardly visible along the sideseams from the armpit downwards. I'm very happy with it plus it's completely reversible in case you don't like it.
Having tried it successfully my 107 and the 62 blk are to follow. Especially when there's a pattern involved I would set those darts next to the side seam but that's just me.

2nd that. I'll post pics of my 68 to show what was done. Opened it at the side seams all the way into the arm opening
