Shirts to fit my body type

[Juan for the road]

I like my shirts to fit well.I'm about 6'2'' with wide shoulders and a pretty narrow waist. Any suggestions on Brands of shirts with a lot of taper? I don't care for a lot of excess room in the middle and waist. I'm glad the slimmer fit is back.

Black Label Ralph Lauren. I'm pretty tall and skinny (38 suit) so I need a slim fit shirt and they fit me great right off the rack. They still have pleats in the back so if you want them even tighter just take them to any basic tailor/alterations place and ask them to "close the pleats".

how much can you spend? where are you located?

Black Label might be too short in the arms or body if you are tall.

You should consider a tailored shirt - the cost is much lower than you think, especially online. I use Nialma Tailored but there are many options out there...

More detail: I'm 6'2" about 200lbs,athletic build,43/44 chest,33/34 waist.

I'd prefer to buy off the rack,you know,that instant gratification thing.

I have plenty of dress clothes,but they don't get too much mileage as I am in the construction trades.I have a variety of dress shirts,bought mostly for the color of the occasion or whim,that fit godawful large around the waist,the kind where the jacket must stay on and I'm constanly fitting/tucking.But for several years it seemed that ill fitting stuff was some kind of trend I just never got.

I'm also a cheap bastard, as a matter of principle.My best looking clothes are stuff that I bought on the cheap(atleast in my eyes).

In the closeout store I bought a couple of Report Collection shirts,size L,that fit very well,if just a little snug in the chest,but easily the best fitting shirts that I have recently worn,to give you an idea of the cut I'm after.

I'm the same dimensions as you, 180lbs.

Recent RTW shirt purchases that fit well (slim) are Duchamp (undarted) and Etro (darted).

Anything can be darted, and the sides can be brought in.

What is your neck size? The body of a RTW shirt is based on that.

 

[Juan for the road]

My neck is slightly under 17.I have a fairly long torso for my height(6'2") and fairly long arms,about a 34 sleeve.My question pertains both to dress shirts where neck and sleeve may be specified and more casual shirts sized by M,L,XL,etc.
(I didn't want to cross-post)

When I wear flannel work shirts(in construction) the best fit is Large-Tall.
