If I have to wear a tie, I have to wear a 17.5 to an 18 to get something that doesn't choke me. Big Adam's Apple gets in the way.
If it's a button-down collar and I'm never going to be wearing a tie, do I still need to go with the larger neck size? My normal suit size is a 42, and I wear large polos. On the smaller side of large (6'0, 180lbs in decent shape).
My concern is going with a 17.5 shirt and it wearing like an extra large. Or do I need to size down to say a 16 which would be more in line with a large?
No decent stores around here to do hands on testing. Would like some guidance before ordering online.
