Any recommendations along the lines of Band of Outsiders' shirts (meant to be worn untucked and are slim-fitting)?

I ran a few searches and I only found fits from smaller-framed guys.

And by large, I don't mean fat.

Thanks.

What do you mean by large?

I'm 6" and 190lbs, thats bigger I suppose and I like Thomas Pink's more causal button ups.

I have this same problem, I wear 37 sleeves and around 16.5 neck, so usually a large save for the sleeves. Anyone know where you can get these style shirts in a longer sleeve? BTW I', 6' 2", 210 lbs

look for brands with exact sizing, or brands that offer the tall option (most larges are about 16~16.5 x 34~35, so a L-tall should be about 2 inches longer in the sleeves).

I know that BR and JCrew now offer L-tall, but I've never tried them.

Otherwise, try custom or mto.

Additionally, you could try having a regular RTW dress shirt that's too long to wear untucked altered - I think drizzt and some others have had success altering dress shirts closer to BoO style specs.
