Hello
Short post:
What are some thick fabrics for white dress shirts?
Long post:
I usually have to wear a suit to work. I do not like to wear an undershirt because my undershirt always ends up getting untucked/bunched up above the waist and makes it look like I have a roll under my dress shirt. (I have no idea why my shirts refuse to stay tucked in but they don't stay put)
However I have dark hair on my chest and often with thinner dress shirts (especially white which I wear most often) you can see the chest hair. Not very professional.
So I have been looking for shirts with thick/opaque material. The thickest I have been able to find at *any* price is the enro 2 ply. They seem to cover me pretty well (although thicker would be better as the shirt gets a few washings it starts to get close to iffy) The other problem is I have a very thick neck 18.5. I'm 6 foot 190 pounds and the shoulder seams are half way between my shoulder and my elbow.
So I need to be able to identify a specific fabric that will be thick enough and go to one of these online tailor shops with my measuremnts. But I'm afraid the fabric will be too thin. What are some fabric recomendations?
