I am still deep in company land so this will be brief. Here are some shots of my latest shirt for a son, this one for my boy in NYC.
This pattern continues to impress with a few modifications. The buttonhole markings for the collar are far too high into the collar - the ones you see in RTW are right into the point, in some right into the top stitching.
I have also settled on this method for doing a collar on a stand, more steps but each is more or less a straight seam and can be fixed before you commit to the next stage. No fancy sewing or rolling or twisting - this method suits my style of sewing best.

The shirt is looking very nice. I have tried in the past to do the button collar and was never successful. You are doing great and the pattern fit looks nice.
Great fitting shirt and I love the fabric. The pattern matching on the pocket is spectacular!
Very cool shirt. I have no plans to make shirts for my dad, brother or boyfriend. They seem to be coping with the decision.
Love that shirt! He's a mighty handsome guy!!!
Nice, very, very nice!
