Hello gentlemen!
What is your general take on form vs. function when it comes to dress shirts?
I have 44" chest, 18.5" neck and 36" waist and as a result I am pretty much confined to MTM or bespoke if I want anything that looks even semi-decent. After having made several MTM shirts I realized that the ones that look good are not quite comfortable given my business lifestyle that is mixed with a constant move around the office plus air travel. However, the shirts that I love to wear do not quite fit me as elegantly. Note, all shirts are MTM but some a cut more generously as a part of an experiment to see what works better in real life.
So what would you do?
I am specifically not providing any pictures, as I want to have a more philosophical discussion vs. having yet another "critique my mtm shirt" thread. Thank you!
