Dress shirts

**WOLFCRAFT** · 04-07-2009, 09:46 PM

So I went suit shopping today and noticed that NO SHIRT SIZE WILL FIT MY NECK!
Anyone else have this problem?
Do I need to go to a custom shop or a tailor or what?

**jbm** · 04-07-2009, 09:49 PM

You have a huge neck bro!

**CBGB** · 04-07-2009, 09:55 PM

Do you have a Mens Warehouse close?

I had to buy a suit this winter and they were the only ones that could hook me up.

**WOLFCRAFT** · 04-07-2009, 10:00 PM

I just looked them up and there's one not too far.
I'll go check them out tomorrow.
What are their prices like?

**C-MaN** · 04-07-2009, 10:21 PM

Ya man mens warehouse is were its at. They can go from really inexpensive to expensive. Overall though they are reasonable.

I just unbutton the top two - showing off a little chest hair. ;P

how many inches is your neck?

**BgMc31** · 04-07-2009, 11:08 PM

Shirt extenders. I have a 21" neck. But I've been able to get away with buying 19" necks (which are quite common) and using my shirt extenders. I can't buy shit off the rack, but there are many places on-line you can get shirts. Also, check JC Penny's they have a huge line of big man shirts. Not only is my neck huge, but I also have long arms so that makes it difficult. A good tailor and deep pockets go a long way!!!!

I buy all my shit at Walmart

**Brown Ninja** · 04-07-2009, 11:45 PM

What exactly is a shirt extender?

**T_Own** · 04-08-2009, 12:25 AM

mens warehouse has some pretty good prices.

if you get your shirts tailored, it will just cost you a shitload for a normal shirt. so not worth it in my mind unless you're spending some real money on the shirt itself

**Brown Ninja** · 04-08-2009, 12:32 AM

how much does a tailored shirt cost?

**BgMc31** · 04-08-2009, 12:49 AM

My tailored shirt cost about $90 a piece. I actually get them from the garment district in L.A.

Shirt/collar extenders are kinda hard to explain, but the expand the top button a couple inches if you need it.

My neck is about 18 inches.
Now I might be able to find an XL or XXL that would fit it, but the rest of me fits better into a large or even a medium if I want it to be snug.

So is mine...

**higherdesire** · 04-08-2009, 05:50 AM

18" is an off the shelf size almost anywhere areound here. Try Macys. If you like custom then here is the link to the company I use, they will send a rep to you with samples. You will need your credit card handy. Minimum prder is 4 shirts, about $650 on thier ecomonic series. Caution once oyu go custom it is impossible to go back.

I got some nice shirts at the mens wearhouse. They take all your measurements there then show you what they have in your size. I believe i paid about 90 a shirt.

fireguy with the jokes today!!

***FireGuy*** · 04-08-2009, 08:54 AM

I didnt mean to but if a guy can squeeze into a Medium shirt he cant complain about having a huge neck.

**CBGB** · 04-08-2009, 10:04 AM

I got into my suit for about $400. But they fit my neck and monkey arms into the same shirt. A lot of dough imo, but damn i looked good!

**almostgone** · 04-08-2009, 10:17 AM

Collar extenders as mentioned above. If your chest and shoulders are large also, hit a big and tall mens clothing shop. Their clothing is not exclusively for the calorically challenged.

18 inch neck and you fit in a medium?
I easily get into a 17.5 or 18 and nothing less than xl will work

lol!!!!!!!!!!

**WOLFCRAFT** · 04-08-2009, 09:29 PM

Okay, yeah I don't know what is up with my oversized neck but I found a shirt.
Express at the mall, got the "fitted" style shirt in an XL and it's tight but it just fits.
Men's warehouse was a bust.
But yeah Express also has a sale right now on all their suit shit so I got a matching pants and vents set with it, all for like $150. So I'm happy with that.
