How is the fit for Theory dress shirts?

Hi Styleforum, New member here. Thanks for having me and taking a look! I am 5'9", 190 lbs, wear a 44 jacket and a 33 pant size. I am a gym guy, bigger chest, narrower waist (at least I like to think so). I am looking to buy some Theory dress shirts on ebay for a good price but I'm not sure how they fit in the chest. Can anyone tell me if they run slim? I wear a 17R, 34/35 dress shirt size. I generally can't wear slim fit shirts. By comparison, Calvin Klein slim fit dress shirts are too narrow but the Calvin Klein regular fit dress shirts work pretty well for me. Can anyone recommend some other flattering brands for non-slim fit guys such as myself? I'd like to find shirts roomier in the chest and narrower in the waist without having to tailor every shirt. I did a search on the forums but I couldn't find much. Also please don't hate on Theory or CK as a brand. I like them

Nevermind. I went to a department store and determined that they are indeed very slim both in the sleeve diameter and in the chest. Just letting any future folk know in case they had the same question.

FYI - Its a bit counterproductive to talk about the "fit" of anything OTR. You can make generalizations, but ultimately these items will fit every person differently.
