I have three or four of their tailored fit shirts. The fits are excellent and the shirts are definately above average in quality relative to the OTR stuff. The tailored fit is cut slimmer than the Brooks Brothers extra-slim fit shirts for reference.

I just ran off to the bathroom to snap this.

CT.jpg


This is an unaltered CT slim-fit, and there's no crazy back tucking going on. I'm not exactly skinny, but I think (hope) most would categorize me as slim at. The shirt is a 16/35.5. I'm rumpled as ****, but I assure you that the sleeves fit. I'm 6'5 ~210 and ususlly wear a 42L and 34W (36 in Mabitex). I've had great experiences with both CT and Lewin's slim fits.
Gladhands, Hi! I think you can help me best. Based on your picture and your measurements I have to ask you..I am debating between SF and Tailored. I am 6’3 and wear a 40L jacket. I usually can do a 15.5 neck but its tight on most brands, so I just don’t button it. Regardless what what brand I buy, I usually do it that way just to get a more tailored fit. Based on your picture, you said you do a 16 neck and the same sleeve length. Could I get away with a tailored? Could you? I don’t want something where I can cross my arms and be afraid it would rip, however I would rather not have to tuck mid day again….advice?

I wear 16/34 and my only disappointment with the CT shirts has been how much the sleeves shrink. I'm considering ordering the 35's next time, even though I never wear a 35 length sleeve in any other shirt brand.

I found CT shirts are on the large size. I ordered several slim fit and have never worn them again. I look like a kid wearing his Dad's clothes, and I'm 84kg, 5.11. O.0
