I have shorter arms so I may have to get them altered. I notice they will do that for a 12.95 per fee shirt.
I need 32-33 and the smallest I can get is 34 with my neck size. Should I just get the 34's and take them to a tailor, if needed, or go ahead and trust their alterations on the site? The price difference is only bucks a shirt between the site and a tailor so I'm thinking of just ordering them at 34's and seeing where we are.

How are the regular barrell cuffs? Do they fit well over a watch? I always find that many of these shirt companies make narrow cuffs.

Is extra slim meant for skinny guys and slim meant for more lean guys with some muscle?

I'm not exactly lean and I go with slim. Slim is for anyone who doesn't have an enormous gut or doesn't want that ballooning shirt effect. Is say extra slim is for skinny or fit guys, I'm probably about 15lbs from pulling those off well. Bag.

So I see a lot of you fit guys posting. How about us more rotund individuals. I'm 5'11" and around 215, with a nice beer gut holding most of the excess. I'm usually a 16.5-17" neck and 34/35 sleeve. Will I look bad in one of the 'classic' fit shirts? I've already noted go w/ the 35" sleeve and I'd get the 17" neck, I don't wear ties often so I can fudge there a bit.

Classic fit will look great. And if you don't wear ties no harm in going up an additional 1/2 inch in the neck since you won't be buttoning top button anyways.

This. I'm 5'10", 185 or so. I'm OK in the slim fit, but if I put on 10 more lb's, I'd probably go classic. The last time I ordered, I got a mix of classic and slim, and the slims fit me much better, but the classics don't look bad either.
Also, just to note for anyone who is big into cuffing sleeves in the summer...The button cuffs have a double-button on the cuff itself, but then NO button on that open area between the cuff and the elbow. It might not matter to many, but for me, that button is crucial for a tight mid-forearm rolled sleeve. I can get by without it, but I do wish it was there.

I ordered 6 without issue in the same order...?

I don't know about all that. Extra slim stood no chance of fitting without pulling through my chest, back and shoulders :flex:Yep. I wear slim fit and DD thinks I'm the second coming of Fridge Perry
Thanks for bumping this - these are my new favorite shirts by far - and I am happy to order more!

Yea, I don't want the shirt super tight in the chest, shoulders, and arms. I think I'll go slim.I don't know about all that. Extra slim stood no chance of fitting without pulling through my chest, back and shoulders :flex:Yep. I wear slim fit and DD thinks I'm the second coming of Fridge Perry

Bought 5 more, only complaint was the sleeve length last time. Went with 4 35 inches and 1 36 one.

I went through a phase with these as a younger man. Just got tired of it, and I can see how it can be perceived as a little douschy.

Recognizing that at some level, you've earned the right to always wear cufflinks and two toned blue shirts with all white collars, my biggest issue with french cuffs for everyday wear is that when it starts getting warm, my cuffs get rolled up 2 or 3 times (sometimes before I even walk out the door), and I can really feel that extra material on my forearm when it's a french cuff shirt. And when you decide to roll up on the way to work or midday...do you carry around your cufflinks in your pocket? I'd be losing them all the time.
So I generally stick with wearing french cuffs to weddings or other more formal events where I'll be wearing a full suit all day.
Nick Vermeil

Hmmm. You have to add the pocket? Are no pocket shirts the style?
RUSF18
Footballguy
Not sure if it's "the style" (I've been wearing them since at least 2008 and they've never had them) but I very much like the lack of a pocket. Probably the #2 feature of the shirt to me behind what I feel is the perfect spread level for the standard collar.

It has less to do with skinny and more to do with your drop, the difference between you jacket size and waist. Broad chest, normal or even a little chubby and it means slimmer or athletic cut shirts and jackets. Since shirts don't normally have a chest (jacket) size they heavily rely on neck size for the cut. So if you have big neck, they will assume the rest is also big.
I'm a 44 jacket and 34 waist, 18"neck and that's when I'm 10 lbs of being in shape, let alone super fit. Normal shirts fit me like a tent. Most normal slim fits aren't much better.

Only with a suit. I just seem to be having a lot more suit days lately.We are an insurance company and write all our business (about $1 billion worth) through independent insurance agents. My mentor is a big believer in always dressing up when we meet with agents and I've been doing a lot of it lately. That and Chamber of Commerce stuff where French cuffs are pretty common.

I'm trying this out too...three shirts for $100 is nice value. I'm 5'10" 190lbs with big shoulders and 36" waste. I went with medium/slim.

42L, 17.25 . I probably need to remeasure my neck as my shirts are typically uncomfortable when I have to button the top button.

It's almost impossible for me to believe there are this many extra slim fitting people on a fantasy football message board, having seen what that cut of shirt looks like. Unless 75% of you never button up to the neck and therefore are buying shirts too large in the first place.

When you consider that the standard drop on a suit is 6", the industry is assuming that a 44c individual has a 38" waist. I don't find it a hard stretch that many people don't fit into that standard.
