Hello, I'm sure this topic has been discussed 1,000's of times on this forum but this is my first post so please go easy on me. I am having an impossible time finding shirts that fit my form. I am 5'11, 165lbs, fit with a 40 chest and a 30 waist. Shirt measurements are 15 neck, 35 sleeve. I was blessed with broad shoulders but it doesn't make shopping for clothes easy. The closest OTR shirt that has fit me is a small Banana Republic slim fit dress shirt, but even those are a bit tight in the shoulder, loose in the midsection. I've tried to avoid buying online because of the fact that I can't try the shirts on first and will have to return them, but between the amount of time I'm spending searching the town high and low for the perfect shirt, it's worth a shot. Can anyone recommend an online or for that matter, and retailer that might fit me, or am I destined to have to buy custom shirts, or have all my shirts tailored? I've seen that hugh and clyde offers an athletic fit shirt that might suit me well, but I'd prefer not to spend an arm and a leg on shirts. Most of their stuff is a bit dressier as well, and most of the time I'm kind of rugged/casual. Plaids, flannel, denim, classic oxfords... I really like a lot of the stuff Uniqlo has to offer as well, but have never tried one on and have no idea how they fit. Anyhow, any feedback is much appreciated!

Cheers,

Ric
