Would it be a total mess to have a tailor shorten the sleeves on the NY Slim?
How do they do it?
I really want to love these shirts, but I'm really stuck in a tough spot between sizes. I normally wear 16.5 with 35 inch sleeves. I ordered both the Tokyo Slim and New York Slim Fit in 16.5. The Tokyo slim fit sleeves are 34, which feels a bit too short for me. The New York Slim fit has 36.5 inch sleeves, which are definitely too long.
Any advice from people who know this brand well? What should I do? Would it be a total mess to have a tailor shorten the sleeves on the NY Slim?
I'll start with some measurements. The exchanged shirt I received is a size 15.3 - 34.3.
- Sleeve is approx. 35"
- Yoke is approx. 17.5" with shoulder point to point at approx. 18.25"
- Chest is approx. 20.25"
- Waist is approx. 19"
- Length from back collar is approx. 31"
(All measurements taken with the shirt lied flat)
And if anyone knows, are the oxford sizing the same for other shirts like spread collars/cutaways?
