What is with the fixed sleeve size on Brioni dress shirts? Is the expectation that I’m supposed to get the sleeves tailored? I’m a 16.5 collar, 33 sleeve in Brooks Brothers Golden Fleece shirts. A pretty popular size.
However, as I understand it, Brioni 16.5 has a 34/35 sleeve. One thing I’ve heard is that the sleeves shrink when washed... which sounds odd to me. It’s going shrink 2 full sizes? Unlikely. And what about the rest of the shirt which would fit perfectly—Does that shrink too??
So somebody PLEASE tell me what’s with the long sleeves and what I’m supposed to do about it. Thanks.
