Thanks.

The Zegna shirts look amazing, but they are beyond my budget and the Canali shirts are closer, but I think I can do better with Luxire especially since they have nice cotton-linen fabrics and I have dialed in my fit with them.
Canali has a great line of linen shirts this season. They are basically casual but slim enough to be used as dress shirts. Just got a nice one from MyTheresa. Affordable Italian stuff.

Lardini also another good option.

was considering selling this suit for a long time because i figured it was too big, but I wasn't able to get any buyers, and looking back on the pictures now, I have to wonder if the fit is really so bad, the proportions and drape seem about right, save for the shoulders being too wide in proportion to my neck, but that's more a problem with my neck being too thin.
If anything, the trousers might be the biggest dealbreaker, as the hem is way too short and there's not much i can let out. Is it possibly worth keeping, especially for when I hopefully bulk up?

Not a terrible fit, as I see. Yes, the shoulders are a bit extended and the trousers a tad too short, but the balance isn't off. Front and back of the jacket look clean.

Inspired to add some more linen to CM workwear. Found this brand at MrP and ordered one in light blue. Very good price.
