As a trial lawyer, I deal with alotta guys in a shirt and tie. I can't begin to tell you how many times I've seen dudes with giant necks oozing out and over their shirt collar. :o
That is all. Please proceed with your regularly scheduled activity.
That would be me ;D
do you know how hard it is to get a properly fitted shirt when you have a 46 in chest, 33 arm length, and a 18.75 neck?
[cheeky]

Not really. If I were to buy a suit from the rack, the pants would be about 6 sizes too big

Pffft I had it worse. When I was fit for Rugby it was 48+ chest, 36 arms 34 waist (but needed a 36+ usually to fit my legs), 18 neck... Dress clothes were a disaster. And yes, I did look like a gorilla in people clothes.
But yeah... the overflowing neck fat... that's bad. But who says men can't spot a muffin top? I know it's used more for girls but I didn't think it was necessarily gender specific.

thats what you get for wearing a shirt and tie.
try finding a 19/38. Usually only one or two at the big & tall shops.

'athletic' cut fitted shirts work well for anyone at the 10 inch or more difference between chest and waist. Otherwise you can buy for collar size and arm length in regular dress shirts and just have a tailor take in the bottom so it's not like wearing a sack. 10 to 15 bucks per shirt.
I'll stick to t-shirts....
this thread is hilarious [laugh] [clap]
the purple guy is the grimace btw ;)
If the neck fits, the sleeves are to short ;D

And don't forget that if the sleeves fit too.. then the waist section's big enough to smuggle two kindergartens

Bah, when I was at my most robust, Athletic cut hadn't really hit the scene and I was a broke ass college student so tailoring wasn't in the bugdet. I get pretty slick with doing this pleating thing in the back sinced down with a belt

We do that in the Navy, with the military creases. We call them wings.
i always have trouble finding long enough sleeves. everything else can fit, but the sleeves will come up about 2 inches short.
2 inches isn't much normally, but when it's on a shirt that means you are strainging the cuffs on your forearm. the sleeves also go way up under the suit jacket.
yay gorilla arms!
if you're tall, you need to buy shirts for tall men ( XLT instead of XL). If it's a dress shirt, it's by the neck & sleeve length (and yes, unless it's a hard-to-find athletic cut) then the tummy will have enough material for a parachute.
Travis - if you ever get some meat on your bones, I'll pass along the shirts Windsor's mom buys that he doesn't want. ;D You'll learn to appreciate the short sleeves - better than dressing like a dork!!! All her taste is in her mouth!!
i always search for the tall selections. the problem is that i don't quite fit in the tall section, but i'm not in the regular section either.
and windsor isn't jsut bigger than me, he's taller by a good measure as well. i'm pretty sure i would look like a little kid swimming in their dad's shirt if i got his clothes. [laugh]
