Hi. I have a problem finding shirts and sweaters that are the proper length. My "problem" is that I have broad shoulders and a large chest. This means if I wear large shirts, they are long enough but too big and billowy, and actually make me look like I'm hiding a belly; mediums fit in the shoulders and stomach, but my chest tends to take up room that would otherwise hang down a bit more, resulting in sleeve and body lengths that are a bit too short for my comfort-- they usually just cover my belt, and if I bend over or reach up, I end up flashing skin.
While I'm not actually tall (only 5'8"), tall size shirts would seem to be the answer-- but nobody sells medium tall in-store, and they are often out of stock online. I suspect Euro cuts would fit me better, but they're a bit expensive. Anyone know of any affordable (as in, Old Navy or JCPenney-type prices-- I'm in college and have no money) chains that would sell longer cut shirts in-store?
Also, can I pay a tailor to make my existing shirts longer?
