Uniqlo OCBD fit check and also asking for alternatives
I have one of these in S and slim fit and the sleeves are a bit short, tried on M regular (I think it was regular) in a store to see if that might be a better choice?
I know their OCBDs don't have a great rep but I can't for the life of me find any alternatives (light blue OCBD that isn't slim fit/non-iron etc.) that don't cost more than double the price in the EU. I have one from Proper Cloth on the way but I can't afford to buy several of those.

Looks ok to me, except the sleeves, which are way too long.
well shit
cause the S ones are too short
Have you considered looking on eBay for a Brooks Brothers or PRL oxford? I have several that were cheap and fit well, because the dress shirt sizing is more precise.
I'll see about brooks brothers
that's a good idea
For example, here's one of mine: https://www.ebay.com/itm/325336650000

For BB you probably want "regent fit", and "classic fit" for PRL
nothing but non-iron dress shorts here in Germany
when you look for Brooks Brothers
Oh...my recommendation might be a bit us-centric
we do have some US brands second hand
just not a huge selection
I guess OCBDs are more common in the US?
very much so, yeah
The sleeve length might not be a showstopper, depending on how you are going to wear it.
I have short arms...most of my long sleeves are too long.
I found some decent deal on PRL classic fit
my sleeve length is 33" and their size M says "34-35""
but then for size S the collar would be too small
so I guess too long sleeves would be better?
could always get them shortened
Yeah if you look at the BrooksBrothers EU store it seems like almost all items are non iron
think I'm gonna go with this one (used, new is like 110€)
if the 34" sleeve annoys me I can always get it shortened
@Nacho you can move the button around on the cuff which will make the sleeves sit better. Nothing beats a proper sleeve length but it’s an easy DIY solution
