At least in Europe brands like Olymp, Eterna or Boss have shirt options with shorter sleeves. I still let my tayler take the shirt in at the belly area. But it is cheaper than going completely custom

If you ever get around to shirts for that 10% of small men needing collard below the 14.5″ minimum.. Beyond a Tailor or custom options so far I’ve only found Moss Bros (they have 14” and 13 1/2” in a few shirt choices)

I like your site.
I DO feel like you look more comfortables and relaxed in the oversized suit. With just a TINY bit of alteration you’d look like a you were on your way to something fun if you weren’t slouching. The fitted suit looks like it’s “strangling” you–like you wouldn’t be able to raise your arms three inches without the whole outfit turning into a parasol. You don’t look comfortable. You’re good-looking guy. No reason to look and feel stuffy (though you might felt comfy, IDK).

TBH, I like the vest look the best. Probably because your shoulders look square and you look confident. You have a youthful face and I find slim men in suits who aren’t tall with older, hypermasculine features look like cosplayers in suit jackets.

Just me two cents – to each their own. Good post, though.

Hi Brock , another well researched article by you on this subject, yes, this an ongoing challenge I have with some of my customers in my shop. Thanks to this article I can now sound more educated and confident in sharing with them these options,

Beau,
You’re right that most brands assume collar size scales with height. They play a game of averages and restrict the range of sleeve lengths for guys with bigger necks.

In addition to Peter Manning, I’d definitely recommend checking out the two London brands in the article, who have a wider range of size options that you will find in any US store. They both offer free returns, so it’s low-risk to give them a try.

Shahid makes a great point: if your travels ever take you to Asia, make some time to find a local tailor. Do some homework before the trip to find someone with a solid reputation, and don’t skimp on fabric quality: people may notice the cheap fabric first and miss the fact that it’s perfectly tailored.

In reply to Beau. Have you tried Peter Manning 2x and 4x sizes? How about made-to-measure?
