Borrelli bicep measurement, 16.5

[demeis]

Can someone tell me what the bicep measurement on a borrelli **** it on a 16.5 (42). I have bigger biceps (17&quot and am having trouble finding shirts that fit. Also a chest measurement would be nice as well as this is the first dress shirt I've bought since I've gained 60lbs.

Difficult to say, as there is no one "Borrelli" shirt - the company makes a variety of styles/models/cuts.

Of the ones that I have, the "William" model is the slimmest and I think that it would definitely be too slim for you. The "Alex" has a little more room but is not baggy. I believe that both of those are cut for the European market and are slimmer than the usual Borrelli shirts sold in the US at places like Neiman Marcus.

I have a few US-market Borrelli shirts and they are not slim-cut, either in the sleeves or the body. One of those may well fit you easily through the chest and sleeves, but you might want to get the body of the shirt tapered.

Why not ask the seller of wherever you would be buying them from? I think Disco Stu (Virtual Clothes Horse) has Borrelli.

Thanks it would probably be whatever model Niemans sells as it is going to be brought to me from the US. But wanted to save my parents some trouble.

However I had forgotten about virtual clothes horse (which would save me a lot of money). I see he has what I'm looking for so will shoot him a message.

Bigger arms or muscles?

Fat arms need more rooms than muscular arms. A fat arm will be 17 inches cold and hot. A muscular arm can deviate +/- an inch.

I believe most OTR shirts in normal fit will meet your needs just fine.
