^^jo3b. yeah, its not the kind of shirts i would wear but i think the shirt is fine. Some brands like apc and acne have similar shirts like that with a relaxed and roomy cut.

I don't think Wynnum Central cafe has the same pizazz as the one PG frequents

Also, there is the ever-present risk of being bashed by ninth graders from Wynnum North State High.

I agree. The shoulders and the sleeves look great. The chest and stomach are in no way tent-like. I would tuck it in since it is a little long. I am also skinny, especially in the shoulders. I've found that finding shirts with the correct shoulder/chest ratio is the key. For example, a Wings and Horns medium has 17in shoulders and a 41in chest, which fits great. But a Band of Outsiders medium has 18 - 18.5in shoulders and a 19.5in chest which is too big in the shoulders for me. Could you post another pic with the shirt tucked in, a v-neck or no undershirt, and shoes?

I'am skinny too and have same problem of finding a good fitting shirt. I'd recommend looking for it in Zara, Topman and H&M, these are not expensive brands. Just my 5 cents.

Yeah I don't think there's an issue with the fit of the shirt, personally I don't really like the cut but tailoring it would be like hotting up a '79 Mazda 323, behind it all it's still crap. I really think the shoulders make it or break it, if the shoulder seams were sitting just right I bet the relaxed fit would come across as much more intentional than sloppy. Shoulder seams are also the only part of a shirt which you can't really alter (unless you're happy paying through the teeth and restructuring the whole shirt, it's more effort than its worth). An idea is to go out and try as many casual button downs as you can without buying anything and take photos in the change rooms of each fit (ala wmmk), or keep a mental note of what looks best to you, then by the end of it you can make an educated decision on buying your next shirt.
