The following dress shirts are in the photos below.
Ralph Lauren Classic Fit 15 x 32-33
J. Ferrar Slim Fit 15-15.5 x 32-33
Charles Tyrwhitt Extra Slim Fit 15.5 x 32.
I know that technically the Ralph Lauren Oxford shirt is not a dress shirt. I am also aware that I did not button the second button near the cuff on the shirts. I am thinking of ordering a Charles Tyrwhitt Slim Fit Shirt 15.5 x 33, and then having my tailor shorten the sleeves. I attempted to order 32.5 inch sleeves on the Charles Tyrwhitt website, but UPS delivered a 32 inch sleeve shirt.
The Charles Tyrwhitt shirt shortens when I sit down. It also has high armholes. The Ralph Lauren shirt collar is a bit tight. The J. Ferrar shirt has a bit of bagginess. The 1975 edition of Dress for Success provides several useful tips. John T. Molloy states that "the first area where the shirt should fit is around the waist. The shirt should be smooth all the way around, with no bagginess or bunching of material anywhere, but still loose enough to allow comfortable movement and to allow you to sit down without having the material pulling at the buttons."
John T. Molloy also states, "with semi-custom, the collars as well as the sleeves can be fitted as closely as quarter sizes." Who produces semi-custom shirts? In 1975, they cost $35.00. How much do they cost now?
What are your thoughts on the fit of the shirts?
