I have an overcoat with extra fabric. Is it possible to add a breast pocket? How much fabric will I need?

I checked ebay and they have a few shirts that may fit what I'm looking for but I'd really like to get an inexpensive shirt.
So where can I find a shirt with the specifications I'm looking for for cheap?

tl;dr: I am looking for size 17" neck, 36" sleeve, white, NO pleats or darts, straight collar, long sleeve, 100% cotton, preferably barrel cuff (but will accept french cuff) shirt for cheap. The fit doesn't make too big of a diffence because I will get it tailored to a very slim fit. Where can I find this?

<awesome smiley FUUUUUUUUUUU!

edit: shirt will be tucked in, not left out

Any particular brand of shirt you're looking for or any white shirt with your specifications will do?

I would think that would throw off the look of the coat but not entirely certain. Hopefully Despos could answer that.

IMO, the shoulders would take importance

its a basic double breasted peak lapel cashmere overcoat. I'm trying to decide if I want a chest pocket or not- im leaning towards yes, for functionality.

So, can a tailor just use my extra fabric to add a pocket , or is it more complicated than that

Are these boots leather? Plastic? Is it a stupid question to ask just by looking at that picture?

From this image, they seem to be in leather. The way they shine though could indicate some patented leather.

I'd go look at Bloomingdales and Barney's and buy on sale because they have what you're looking for.

I think you're right, they look like leather but with an almost plastic quality. Hrmph, might be returning these

There are a couple of shirts - mostly two-ply. I'm trying to understand the analysis of whether it is worth spending $50-75 to have the yoke reduced, shirt taken in, and the sleeve trimmed. As mentioned, they are two-ply nearly all from Bloomingdales msrp around $100. Thanks. If needed, pictures can be posted ;P

Anyone know how Sebago sizes compared to fx. Vans, Converse, Toms, Tiger of Sweden or Schmoove? I am looking at a Sebago dockside boat shoe.

I don't wear any of those other brands, but Sebago docksides fit true to size. I wear loafers in 8D and my Docksides are 8M (D & M being the same width)
