Nice look. Fit looks also good to me, hopefully comfortable indeed. What’s the size? If You could, tell us also your chest size.
cheers
The jacket is a 40R slim. The shirts are 15.5 slim. My chest is 42 inches and my waist is 31. That’s why, even with the slim, it’s not very close fitting in the waist. Once the tailors open back up, I’ll take the jacket in to nip the waist.

Tell me. Do you think the shirt that this dude is wearing is ill fitting, meaning too big on him? I guess what I’m saying is that typical shirt fabric has no “give.” Thus, it’s ok to have bunching up in the sides like this 007 guy. Otherwise things will pull in every which way you turn, reach, twist and such. It may look OK if you are going to standing around and not move but kinda bad when you are chasing international spies and criminals

Although I’m always reluctant to base fit recommendations off of a recognized “sex symbol” ( Brad Pitt manages to look good in his terribly-fitting suits in Oceans 11) I think there is a difference between a shirt worn casually (street wear) and one worn with a suit or a sport coat. I tend towards very little fabric at the waist for shirts I mean to wear under a suit or sport coat. And it seems Daniel Craig (or rather his stylists) agree: here he is after removing his suit jacket :

Ok. Your point well taken. Super slim it is. I hope he had strong threads for his buttons.

I would say as someone in his late 30s (you mentioned you are early 30s), don’t underestimate possible body size changes over the next few years. I’ve gone from 200lb all the way up to 230lb and floated in between for years before settling back at 205-210. Lifestyle, income, relationships, kids, biology, etc all play a factor in a yo-yo effect. Short story long, I wouldn’t go too tight unless you can afford new shirts often or are very confident in your body not changing.

Speaking of shirt fit:

My standard size is 16.5 x 34 Contemporary, but I've got a couple of 17 x 34s for shirts I plan to wear collar open with a tie. Silly idea?
