What happened to Calibrate shirts?

Hi all! I have a good number of shirts from Calibrate, the Nordstrom house brand that has apparently been discontinued. Their extra trim fit shirts were pretty much a perfect fit for me, and I have not found a similar fit from any other Nordstrom brands or from Bonobos (their slimmest shirts are huge on me), Indochino (same, despite being made to measure), Ralph Lauren (ordered a slim custom fit, which is amazing in their polos, and it was like a bedsheet on me), or others.

Does anyone know:
1) What happened to Calibrate, and especially if Nordstrom is replacing it with another house brand in a similar fit? I've found the actual "Nordstrom" brand shirts to be an absolutely horrible, super-sized fit.
2) Any other designers that make very slim fit (by U.S. standards) shirts? I am 5'8" and 147 lbs, usually a 15" neck and 34" sleeve.

Thanks!

The calibrate shirts fit me well. Have you found an alternative? Thanks.
