    My fiancé has a dislocated collarbone which has caused a 1” displacement compared to his other shoulder. There are drag lines on that side and I’m not sure if I can fix it and what I need to do in order to fix it. Also, is there an adjustment I could make when I make other shirts for him? Thanks in advance!

    Hi Amy,
    It’s not so odd at all, but very common for men’s shirts to need a sloping shoulder adjustment.
    It appears he could use a minor adjustment on his left shoulder and obviously a more dramatic one in his right side.
    – my husband also has slightly sloping shoulders with a big drop on the right side due to a (twice) broken collar bone!
    This explanation by Male Pattern Boldness is a good one:
