I'm 6'1 185-190lbs 42" chest 32" inseam 34" waist I have a sleeve length of about 36/37" who makes some nice casual button down shirts that will fit me properly?

The problem I have is that an L shirt fits in the chest & waist, but the sleeves are too short, while an XL has the proper length sleeves, but the chest & waist are far too big.

Thanks for any help.

We're almost the same size -

Extra Slim Brooks Brothers sport shirts.

And don't create a thread for something that could so easily be answered by research in the search bar. It pisses off the higher-ups.

I ordered a tie from a mtm company in thailand which took less than a week to arrive on mat. Can message you the deets as they make shirts too. Looking at getting a few sleeveless ones made up.

I would suggest Gitman Vintage in L and possibly Epaulet in L. The Epaulet shirts are darted so fit a little slimmer than Gitman.
