I have a problem getting shirts which fit properly, my neck is quite thick so I need approx. 18" neck size to be able to fasten the top button, however the sleeves are then too long and the body is stupidly baggy hence I look like a clown.
If I buy shirts in a 17" neck then they tend to fit nicely but I haven't got a chance of getting around my neck and doing up the top button. I've not had to wear ties for work so this hasn't been an issue, however I now need to get some shirts with which i can wear ties and avoid looking like a clown.
Has anybody else had this issue and if so what are the solutions? Or am I going to have to resort to getting them made to measure, which is obviously going to be somewhat more expensive.

Your best bet would be going to a shop such as "Big & Tall" the shirts will be more expensive than most places (IE dont expect a £2 Asda shirt) but they do free tailoring so they could make a big necked shirt smaller in the body for you.
It depends how out the shirts are really though, how about just trying a "slim fit" one?

Anybody ever used these guys?

About £30 for a patterned shirt and they ask for about 6 or 7 measurements.
