Hey Ann...
I was afraid of that. dang.
The shirt was a gift, but a tag said JoS Banks I think. Yeah, Mike -
my husband, is a weight lifter and has over the years developed a very
inverted pyramid shape. He's got a 19" neck, so I think the buyers
just went by the neck and arm, and certainly didn't get a tapered cut,
hence the tentage. I'm afraid the shirt is going to get regifted...
Thanks for the reply.
