shirts for small people...

[spencer704]

im 5'7, 135, been told "swimmer's build"... and i can rarely find shirts (not tees) that fit properly... a friend tipped me off a few years ago to the "fitted" shirts at express and they were perfect, but theyve not made them for a while... ive got a couple smalls from h&m that are pretty close to what i want, but theyre still a tad wide...

aside from taking shirts to a tailor (havent tried yet, but i hear thats a good fix), are there any small people who've found good, small shirts? someone told me gap has decent stuff in xs now, but i dont remember ever having much faith in the gap...

oh, i tried the search function, but it never gives me results...

i can vouch for gap xs plain tshirts and sweaters if you just want some basics. other than that, i have the same problem. the shirts 2ktshirts.com are cut pretty slim and short, but the designs are hit or miss.

looking more for collared/dress shirts, not tees... but thanks for the info...

calvin klein makes nice dress shirts tagged as "slim fit" -- those work for me. the chest is noticeably narrower than other dress shirts.

A.P.C. dress shirts are really small. You should try the size 1.

Be careful though. You have to watch out becuase they are now producing full cut dress shirts, so if you are ordering online, ask for measurements.

blackbird, are the apc's labelled as to slim or full?

and thanks, max... i'll check for the calvins...
