Lens Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 it's either Your £9.95 tailor which isn't too bad compared to the standard cost of a shirt, no? or trial and error with all shops for different sizes. I'd go for the first, unless You see Yourself constantly needing to buy new shirts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Gekko Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 9.95 is good Mine charges 20 for sleeve and back alterations and that's at mates rates Being 6'5 and working out is a bitch when it comes to buying shirts *edit Slaters do free alterations btw if you have one nearby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOHN DOE Posted August 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 thats how it should look like but my shirts give me some baggy look - even when i buy slim fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djbmc Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 I find buying slim fit a size too big helps. I find it hard to get shirts that are the right length and still allow me to raise both arms without getting too tight on my back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Gekko Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Reiss shirts are my personal preference when I need a shirt and don't have time for alterations Fits are usually pretty solid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinister Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Fam, you will never get a perfect size, unless you're a default manikin size or you get it tailored/adjusted. I'm a 15.5" collar but any shirt bought has the same issue as you (baggy round the midriff), but I buy the 15" and its a perfect fit (tight around the neck). As per above, Charles Thyrwitt Fully Fitted are on point and they do the 4 for £100.00, if you do it through cashback you usually get extra discount + your cashback, swear each one costs me like £20 after all the discount. Mine have lasted me ages always do the £100.00 deal every few Months. I handwash the collar/cuffs and then machine wash at 30 and hang dr, but I buy the easy iron ones. Charles Thyrwitt, TM Lewin, Hawes & Curtis, they're all pretty much the same quality and longevity. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
