Slim Fit Shirts

[letterk]

For those of you on the slim side, what are you favorite brands for slim fitted shirts? Personally, I've been buying Banana Republic and Charles Tyrwhitt for a while, but am looking to try some others. Dpeartment store brands are almost always a bust. I'm 6'2", 180 lbs, and usually take a 15.5 34/35.

I see some nice prices for Henry Jacobson and XMI on STP, but have not owned either.

I'm also tall and slim - a 16 or 16.5 by 36/37, so it looks like we're in a similar boat. I've had good luck with Hugo Boss and some of Nordstrom's house branded shirts.

I like XMI shirts fairly much. Of course, I am not, unfortunately, as slim....

When you're 6'1", 280lbs, and take a 17.5/37, all shirts are "slim-fit". I bought all of mine through Land's End (and now, they continue sending me those catalogs!)

I'm fond of the CT slim fit ... especially the Sea Island ones of late ... although the fit seems to be getting a little less slim in the latest editions.

I wear a 16.5/36. I tried on a Brooks Brothers slimfit (they may call it athletic fit or something, I can't remember) and it was waaay too slim for me (6'4", 190). I tried on their middle of the road fit, and liked it very much, until I found out that it is called the Executive Fit, and they only sell it in their high-end ($200 and up) dress shirts. Typical for me, that's why my father calls me "Cadillac" (although I'm thinking now he should have called me Maserati or Bentley).

15-34/35 here. I've found some inexpensive Van Heusen shirts that fit very well, and others not so much. A couple of rather nice Donna Karan shirts that fit well. For department stores, H & M does really well for slim fit in general, though I've never tried a shirt there. They have some rather stylish stuff, though quality is hit or miss. I find that if you have wide shoulders and narrow hips, everything made these days fits like a bag.

HUGE +1. Yeah, I'm chubbier than I should be... but the 3 Land's End shirts I own... PHENOMENAL. I wish I could wear them every day. Small price to pay for the damned catalogs every month.

John buy a nice shirt not crazy expensive and find a cheap tailor it works for me.

Wow. Take off one inch and you have my measurements. BR is nice. I recently got some Calvin Klein fitted shirts that are just right at Macy's.

I'm 250 and 5'11", and my wife one day came home from a trip to an outlet with some great deals on brooks brothers shirts. Unfortunately, she didn't notice the "slim fit" on the label - I don't wear those too often.

That's an interesting idea. Hadn't thought of that.

6' , broad shoulders and a 32" waist it is my only choice unless I want to look like I am wearing a bag.

I guess they would be considered slim fitting

Lands End does custom fit shirts for a very reasonable price. They are high quality.
