Man I got some slim fit shirts from BB. The shirts fit decent but the sleeves around my wrists are way too big.

You could move the cuff button.

Unfortunately, the material is incredibly shoddy and uncomfortable (I just put a shirt in the sink to hand-wash it with lukewarm water, and color bled everywhere.) Anyone in a similar situation find an alternative?

Try H&M. Their cottons are surprisingly decent quality and they have a nice sheen to them. Highly recommended for smaller guys

We suggest Antichi Telai's dress shirts. The cut is excellent and they are really well tailored. If you wanna know more about that, just send me a message.

Ok so I have a hell of a time finding a good slim fit shirt that fits they way I want. I always try the smallest sizes when I go to a store and the sleeves are always baggy and they are to long in length. I have one shirt that fits the way I like from of all places Benetton. I am of course picky about the fabric. I despise wrinkles(I am serious OCD). Can anyone recommend a place where I might find a shirt with similar measurements to the ones below in the $80 or bellow range? I would prefer to stay away from MTM but if worse comes to worse I will have to.

25 1/2 Sleeve Length
17 Pit to Pit
28 in Length

Im roughly 5'9 and 120 pounds.

They are my favorites too. In fact to me they are the best shirts that fit. I just love it.

I appreciate all the good information here, but am hoping someone can help me further.

I've been to the places that have local shops here in San Francisco, but have not found anything that moderately fits me.

I have a 36/37 sleeve length from back of the collar, 28" sleeves from the shoulder, 17.5" - 18" shoulders, and a 38" chest.

Now, if I can find a slim fit shirt with the correct arm length, I can easily take in the shirt around the chest a bit so that it fits, and I'm okay wearing casual dress shirts a little lose. But the only time I've found shirts that sorta fit is when they are *not* slim fit, and have large shoulders. This causes the arms to start lower on my shoulder and hence the cuffs will come down to the proper spot on my wrist.

For the guys out there that are happy with your finds - - any of you have 37" sleeves or anything close to the measurements above?

I've ordered a few MTM shirts, but would like to get one sooner for an upcoming date, and also would like to find "casual dress shirts".

A slim fit shirt is always what I want when I go out there to buy a shirt. But unfortunately except you are loaded, it is not easy to get exactly what you want at an affordable price.

I received my Savile Row Co shirts today. Pretty slim fit actually, a tiny bit larger (if any) than my extra slim fit BB shirts.

Fabric on my plain color shirts seems a little thin, will be nice in the summer though.

The gingham shirts I received seem thicker, a little better quality.

There seems to be some loose threads around the buttons, nothing that some scissors can't fix.

I will try and update after a few washings.

For $17 a shirt and free shipping I am very pleased!
