I'm a 39" chest and 31" waist, and it fits pretty damn slim around the waist. I actually like the modern fit better I think, because it isn't nearly as tight
Check out ctshirts.com... great prices. I'm 40-42 in the chest and 32-34 in the waist and their slim cut shirts are just about right on me. They also have the tailored cut that I think is a little slimmer.
dchun, tailoring is really expensive. Joe says $15/shirt but my tailor charges $50. You're best bet is to find an off the rack that works. Also, don't discount the back pleats. Go with no back pleats of shoulder pleats. The center pleat will ad bulk, which you lack. I'm 43 shoulders, 33 waist - same problem.
I have the same problem. 40R with a 30" waist and have tried almost every reasonably priced brand I can try on in a store.
Wait for sales and bring it to the tailor. Sometimes it comes out to about the same price as off the rack, maybe a little more, but nothing compares to a tailored shirt.
And $50 does seem VERY high. I have seen maybe $20-$30 tops, sleeves included. $15 is great price.
BB extra slims are actually really nice, also the calibrate slim fits fit pretty well.
a little trick I've also found is if you go find the "tall" fit shirts (I'm 5'8") and size down a few sizes, they fit slim. it's a hit or miss trick though, so you have to try them on
BB Extra slims are the truth. I have five and they're all great. I did have to get them brought in a little bit to be perfect. They fit my shoulders great off the rack though.
I really like the Express 1MX Extra Slim Fit. I gave my tailor one of those shirts so she could see the fit and match that with some of my old shirts. She took some measurements off the shirt too to get a sense of what I like.
Here in the metro Milwaukee area, I pay $17 for body and sleeve tailoring for a small shop I found. It's $25 at Men's Wearhouse with a $10 discount if you bought the shirt there.
I have the exact same measurements. I find that bonobos medium fits very well. I particularly am a fan of these indigo dyed shirts...which just happen to be on sale. Although the rounded collar might not be for everyone.
