Buying a Tuxedo Shirt

I am looking to purchase a tuxedo shirt for my wedding day attire. I am wearing an ivory dinner jacket (Joseph Abboud) with a grosgrain bow tie and cummerbund. I am looking for something for a slim frame. I am 5' 9" and 147#. A 16 neck.

Are there any good brands to look for or should I think about mtm?

Thanks

I'd like to spend around 100 but willing to spend more if recommended...I don't know the next time I would wear it nor do I currently own a proper tuxedo

Are you in America?

If you can stretch to $135, you can do Brooks Brothers.

The advantage with BB will be sized sleeves and easy return and replace...since you are unfamiliar with evening wear, these are particularly important advantages.

Go to ebay and search for armyhardhat, he's a brooksbrother's clearance specialist. He recently had a glut of goldenfleece formal wear including shirts.
