Small Sizes- What do you advise?

[topduke]

Hi,

I've started a site www.topduke.com, a blog, where I hope to add info about fashion and styles for small men,

I have been looking in high street shope and the sizes seem really varied,

Do you recommend anywhere to get good fittings, designers etc?

thanks

A very worthwhile project.
I'm forever having RTW altered in between MTM blow-outs... And bespoke hurts the pocket even more!

I also need smaller sizes.
The variations in fit even from the same maker seems to be more exagerated in the smaller sizes. Shirts are very erratic. I believe that the best solution is to go the MTM route. It is really aggravating to put on what appears to be a great looking shirt and have it fit like a tent with wings. Nothing can really be done about the too broad shoulders and the too large armholes.

You might want to look at the many posts on Jantzen shirts.
