Slim fit shirts??

[matc]

I need some new shirts for work and i'm sick of wearing shirts that make the upper half of my body look like an air balloon!! I'm 6'3" with the usual lanky build i.e long arms, slim body. I've bought shirts from T.M Lewin in the past, they fit reasonably well but the material they use is too thick and so the misses tells me they are hard to iron; so something similar to this would be ideal.

Where do all of the other lanky/slim PH'ers buy their shirts from?

Burtons do a range of slim fit but the quality is gash

What do you mean "usual lanky build"? I'm 6'3" too and have a well developed belly that exceeds my chest measurement by a good couple of inches.

Get some burgers and beer down your neck and grow a proper body

Tell her to be quiet and get on with it.

God - does Burton's even still exist?

If you want nice slim fit shirts try Reiss and Zara. Go for double button cuffs rather then double cuffs (for cufflinks)as cufflinks aren't in fashion at the mo.

I am not lanky/slim, more of a god-like adonis shape .... but try Thomas Pink, they do slim-fit and good quality !!

Next. Good quality at a sensible price. No point spending more than £25 a pop on work shirts.

I buy the Charles Tyrwitt slim fit shirts and I have a short stocky build. They fit me fine. I do have a large neck though.

Haha, indeed. I work in a marketing agency, and we can wear whatever we like. So what I wear to work, I wear all the time, so like to spend on nice clothes for work.

Or maybe for people who want simple well made shirts for work at a sensible price....?

try Van Heusen shirts - I find they are really nice work shirts - you should be able to find them in big department stores..

I've got a couple of Next shirts. One is fitted and is great - some of the others are not fitted and are not great.

If someone could now give me a hand getting the splinters out of my arse.

I just picked up 4 shirts from Hawes and Curtis for £90. They seem to be better quality than the TMLewin ones.

I got a couple of semi-fitted shirts from TM Lewin, nice quality and only 25 quid. Bargain.

Thanks all, I'll try Charles Tyrwhitt, Saville Row and Van Heusen. Not that keen on Next shirts; also don't think I've seen a Burtons on the high street for about 5 years, but thanks for the suggestions.

ETA. not heard of Hawes & Curtis before but they look like great value. Did you go for tailored fit?

I bought a next Shirt once, one of their more expensive "city" range, it developed a holes in lower arm. I took it back and got an exchange as I only had worn it about 10 times. Same thing happened to the new one. Gave up then and just realised the fabric they use is st.
