Why is it so hard to find a true Slim Dress Shirt? - Page 3

Makes perfect sense. Why adjust when you can go straight to where you want to get. And besides it seems good OTR costs just as much as MTM. Luxire seems awesome, though I was a tiny bit disappointed to see that their options do not seem to cover some more "black tie-ish" stuff like hidden buttons and more luxury fabrics. (Or I was looking in the wrong place.)

I get my dress shirts tailored for $30 - slim down the sleeves and add rear darts for more taper. I find Thom Brown shirts to be very slim and similar in fit to the last image the OP posted.

The RLPL shirt images posted are not advised; they are way too tight and look uncomfortable.

Because only 5% of american males are anorexic.  Haha, j/k.  Seriously though, if slim fit is too baggy for you consider gaining some weight.  It isn't healthy.

What others have said:

Other than going to a shirtmaker and specifying what you want,

Just buy the shirts that fit the closest to what you like and take them into a tailor and get them tapered in at the sleeves and waist.

I have done this with success. I buy any shirt I like for whatever reason, whether it be for work or play, and take it in to get tailored. I have spent more money on tailoring the shirt than the shirt itself when they are thrift buys!

Hope this wasn't a troll post, because really those shirts would not look good in 'real life'. Simply to slim and tight to the body.

How tall are you though?  Also you are not an athletic build from the perspective of garment makers at least because you wouldn't be asking for extra slim dress shirts.  People with athletic builds only have problems with shirts being too baggy at the bottom part of the torso.  They usually have problems with standard sizes being too tight at the upper back, chest, and arms.  If you are really an athletic build you should be looking for tapered shirts, not extra slim shirts. 

 

I know because I fit the athletic build body type and my largest problem has been sleeves being too tight, upper torso being too tight, etc.

My best fitting slim shirts are the cheapest ones I got. Zara Man superslim fit.

Good joke, but you're missing the point. It's not about whether someone is undernourished, it's about body shape and the proportion of varous measurements.
There is nothing unhealthy about having wide, masculine shoulders or a flat stomach. But if you have these much-coveted assets, even slim fit shirts will be too baggy (ie. whatever fits your shoulders will be far too wide for your body).

It honestly isn't that hard - as said earlier your options are: A tailor/MTM/European market shirts.

True. If they did then I wouldn't have bought them.

I endorse this approach wholeheartedly. My plan to save money by getting fat enough to fit well in ready to wear shirts is working out great so far. Of course, you do spend more on food, so maybe it's a wash.
