Hi,
After lurking here for a few weeks and being tired of wearing blousy shirts , l I took a walk over to Brooks Brothers last week and pulled the trigger on a MTM shirt. With discounts it came out to a bit over $100. Should be ready in a few weeks.
Yesterday I had some free time and took a walk to BB as they were pricing shirts at 3 for $199. I spoke to a salesman and tried on a couple of their REGULAR fit shirts. They were just as blousy around the waist as all my others were. He mentioned that I could get it tailored.
I then asked him for a slim fit to try on. He thought it would not fit me correctly as I am far from what anyone would consider slim as I am 6' ,225 lbs., and train daily. Chest is probably a 44, waist about a 36 on a good day. I have a 17.5" neck and 34" sleeves.
Well I tried it on and it was almost perfect! It fit me great around the chest and shoulders and was only a bit loose around the waist.
Slim huh? More like shirts should fit to begin with, at least for me.
As usual YMMV.
I'll report further as I wear them.
