Hello,

I am looking to buy a few white, point collar dress shirts (with stays). I have a 16.5" neck, a 33" sleeve, and a 29" waist. Consequently, I need something with quite a slim fit. I would like to keep the price under US$100. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,

QR

hmm...under a hundred bucks each? i also wear about a 33 inch sleeve, and this is hard to find. you might try charles tyrwitt, and i think some thomas pink shirts may be at this pricepoint as well. both have websites of course, and both have slim fit shirts available (but you'll have to pay a little extra to have sleeves shortened to 33 1/4 inches).

CT and TP shirts aren't very slim, even those marketed as slim fit.

Will many local tailors offer shirts for under $100 or are you talking about Jantzen?

You will never find a shirt off the rack that with a slim fit for your body. If you want a slim fit with a 16&1/2 neck & a 29 waist, you will have to order a made to measure or custom made shirt. Try Jantzen or Hemrajani. Both are within your price point.
