Slim, tall, need high quality short sleeve button downs
Hey all. 30 year old here, decent wardrobe. Live in South FL. Slim, lean 6'0 build, tiny waist. Lots of clothes fit me funny, so I started going to a tailor. SO much better. However, I still am struggling to find high quality, short sleeve button downs that fit me well. Any suggestions? Any price range is fine
I've tried J-crew slim, still fit like a smock. Fair after tailoring. Gitman bros did not fit well for $250/each either.
I need something to start out very slim and then still get it tailored, probably. 30' waist and broad shoulders make things fit ridiculous. I'll buy whatever you suggest and take it to the tailor and see what he thinks. Ty!

If you’re willing to go any price, mtm might be the move, lots of people in here have gotten shirts done
Yeah any price
I will only need like 2 of them, so i can go high
this is something i get done in person or online?
My tailor does make custom bespokes dress shirts, but i am looking for casual i think, i thought those were more for like office settings, and are almost always long sleeve
try Corridor NYC
also, if your issue is length, I would measure your favorite shirt’s length
It's more the snugness in the arms/waist that seems to be the issue
i'm only 6'0, not that tall
gonna check them out now, thank you
i can def talk to my tailor as well about custom shirts, i wasnt aware that short sleeve were done like that
Probably depends on the particulars of each place
Some may not have patterns ready for that
believe it or not the best fitting shirts i own are from bylt which is a cheap chinese shirt
measure it and compare to measurements online of clothes u might buy
most online boutiques have measurement charts
