Around my hip I’m closer to a small mens size, around my chest and shoulders I’m about size 18 boys, maybe smaller. I’m looking for button down shirts, size small mens is too baggy on me, XL in boys; some fit fine around the shoulders and chest but are a bit too short in length and at the sleeves.

The problem with shirts is that they’re usually packed and you can’t try them on.

Have you considered having them MTM? Also, take a look at the slim fit shirt thread pinned to the top of the page.

I have a similar problem and found that Theory shirts fit me really well right off the rack

Good luck!

I am in exactly the same situation. Large "18-20 Boys" size. The dress shirts and t-shirts fit nicely, but the selection is horrendous! Oh well, right now, I've resigned myself to custome made http://www.bestcustomshirt.com/?gcli...FRscawodXCviWA.

All of this because it's just terrible to find anything my size.
Happy hunting!
