If the OP's intention was to imply "and you have to go bespoke", then it's got to be shirts. I'm a fairly standard 40 in all measurements except sleeve length. All the slim-fit RTW that I find are about 1 1/2" short. And there are some details that I'm a bit OCD about. Especially a stitched down full back box pleat. Despite the added visual interest, it also acts as a dart, making for a neater and more fitted back.
Besides that, it's got to be OTC socks in anything else besides black, navy and grey.
you prefer the box pleat be stitched down?
Yes, for instance the way Band of Outsiders' shirts are like.
Hm, perhaps the correct term isn't "stitched down" but "stitched"? Non-native speaker alert
