Where can I find these kind of shirts?

[Riverhound777]

I am pretty picky when it comes to my shirts, regular t-shirt or button down. I've come to the conclusion that I must have a very different body shape than most, because it's so hard to find anything that fits. All regular t-shirts are too short or balloon out at the waist. The best T-shirt I've found is from Express, just a regular t-shirt, no graphics. They are 57% Cotton, 38% polyester, 5% spandex. They fit great, last a long time, are super soft, and don't shrink. But they keep changing the formula. The last few I got don't list the material %, and they aren't as good. After a wash they shrink up and barely make it to my waist.

And then there are dress shirts. I found the perfect dress shirt years ago, and stocked up. But they are wearing out. They are Arrow Fitted Stretch. 24% Cotton, 72% polyester, 4% spandex. They don't wrinkle, don't collect hair, are nice and light, and last a long time. Oh and these were only like $20 each! I've literally had some of these for like 10 years. But sadly they are finally wearing out. The current Arrow shirts just suck. I bought one this weekend and after washing it the first time its just covered in pet hair from my other clothes, like a magnet. Plus it's heavier and not as wrinkle free like the old ones. It's made of 63% cotton, 35% polyester, 2% spandex. I'm thinking maybe the 4-5% spandex is the perfect amount? Who knows.

Does anyone know where I can find shirts like these? Must come in Fitted 34/35 16.5 at a reasonable price.

Express MX1. They also have a slim fit that work very well.

This is what I wear for dress shirts. Unfortunately my chest is broad and my waist narrow so I have to be careful not to stretch my chest otherwise I can bust the buttons. I wear the extra slim fit (they also have fitted and another style I can't remember).

I'm kinda picky when it comes to shirts (shit, pants too I guess) and I'm pretty slim so I find most shirts are too f'ing baggy/loose for my tastes. The best fitting t-shirts I have are American Apparel ones; good sleeve length, overall length, neck size, and fabric softness.

As for dress shirts, Tailor Store is good (Original Stitch is another one) if you don't mind measuring yourself (just once; you can refer back to the measurements in future orders). I'm sure you're not gonna replace every single button-up shirt you have with a custom one, but for a couple it's feasible. I've only gotten one shirt through them and it's great in all aspects except it's too short. I thought I had everything measured right but I didn't get the length right I guess. But damn... fuckin thing fits perfect otherwise. No way I'd get that from a store bought shirt.

tyrwhitt extra slim works pretty well for me.


you can go to a tailor to tighten up the chest/waist on most shirts. doesn't fix too-big arm holes, though.

I hear Armani does tailored shirts.
Try them.

I have problem where most shirts are too tight around the shoulders and anything with "long sleeves" always has sleeves about 6 inches too short. I find that XXXL Tall or 4X Tall tends to work well, but meh ...

I'm picky as shit with shirts too because my chest is for XL but my mid section is for like S or M. I try on even tshirts before I buy them to see how they fit. A lot of them will fit me up around the chest/shoulders but are baggy as fuck around the stomach so they look stupid on me. I have this problem with dress shirts too so I usually have to get "slim" or "fitted" shirts so they aren't too baggy around the belly area.

I actually have some of those Arrow Fitted shirts you are talking about and yes, they fit me very well. Some of the other brands I have are Van Hussen that fit me well, but it's their "fitted" line I believe. They are old too, like 6 or 7 years old, and I haven't bought dress shirts really since then for the most part because I have dry cleaned them and they still look fine.

Express MX1 are ok, but they aren't very wrinkle free, and the fabric isn't nearly as nice as the Arrow. Plus I found that after washing the cuffs and collar tend to warp unless ironed. I loved that the Arrow shirts are totally fine out of the dryer.

Thanks for all the suggestions, i'll look into them!

Just found these, anyone try them?

I'll admit that the 1MX shirts need some love out of the dryer. I picked up a steamer not long ago though and it takes me about 2 minutes to get them wrinkle free so I'll take it! I prefer the fabric feel to the synthetic non-iron shirts.

I've got a very long body (6'8), but I am not thick (~220lbs). Their fits are perfect, and in my case, they carry tall sizes in-store :')

Thanks for the tip, I looked into them and ordered a few. We'll see how they are. I like that all their shirts come in Tall. Free returns so hoping for the best.

I like Kohls.
