I get Brooks Brothers then tailor them. I've given up looking for off the rack stuff.

Anyone here a 17” neck 34/35 sleeve for shirts? Seems very difficult to find this size for some reason.

I used to wear that size and could always find it in a department store if all else failed.

Charles Tyrwhitt fits a lot better than Brooks Brothers and have a lot more sleeve length options if you're not 5'8. Wait til they have a big sale which is pretty often.

State & Liberty $95
Mizzen & Main $135

Both are made of a dry fit type material so you won’t sweat. It’s all I wear now.

Probably the same. I have a couple of 18" collar shirts and they're kinda loose. I don't wear button up often. It's a polo for work 90% of the time

Charles Tyrwhitt offers 3 variations of a tailored fit:

1. Slim.
2. Extra slim
3. Super slim

Depends on how thin your frame is and how Euro you’re wanting to look.

Untuckit works for me

Eta: did I miss something bad about untuckit? My mom sent me one as a gift and it fits me perfectly. Many other brands look like a tent from below the chest down. My Untuckit is slender in the torso but not tight in chest arms and neck. And it was on sale so not bad price. To each his own I guess.

I’m trying Tom James custom fit shirts because I have a hard time finding shirts to fit. I should have a couple soon.

Yea I am the "extra slim" fit and i'm about 5'9'' 185. Not extra slim in any sense of the word.

I'm 16 1/2 and 34/35

Unless they've changed significantly in recent years, that seems like a bad base to start with. They used to be the very definition of the super billowy, over-sized cut for American men.

With the really baggy lower back area? I can’t stand when that happens.

Baggy everything. Way too much acreage in the sleeves and sides too.

I haven't bought a Brooks Brothers in probably 5 years but their extra slim fit was way boxier than the same at Tyrwhitt and Tyrwhitt added a slimmer fit than that recently if you're really lean.

Can't believe I'm gonna actually follow advice from Maximus and check these out. Milano fit BB fit ok but still too baggy in the waist.

JC Penny carries Van Heusen dress shirts. They come in several sizing options. They have husky, athletic, fitted, slim, etc.

They have been my go to for a while.
