Not sure about that. I think a dress shirt might be the only acceptable option.Originally Posted by got shoes

Dont take this the wrong way (too many damn sensitive people on the internet these days so i start almost all my feedback by apologising) ... but you will probably never be happy with this suit no matter the amount of money you put into it.
1. the hard 3 button cut is dated ... like something from the 80s(3 rolled to 2 would be better, or just a 2 button)
2. those shoulder pads are pretty bad (Tim you work out and are big, so natural shoulders would look better IMO)
3. your buttoning point is too high, which is something that can never be fixed (The last button should generally fall at the top or slightly below your belt/waist)
4. your sleeves are too tight and therefore rippling. (Again,your huge..so I don't think that Lanvin RFX45 tight swag/cut is for you)
maybe after 100-150 bucks and a REALLY good tailor, you could get it fitting decent. i'd give it away or sell it and use that money + the alterations money to find something that fits better off the rack. also it would help to understand what is a "good fitting" suit, so you have a good basis to start searching from.
But forreal, i'ma just take the joint back.
I wouldn't wear a crew neck with a v-neck sweater, I just think it looks sloppy, but a v-neck udnershirt that cannot be seen is a good and casual look. Perfect for chilly spring morning and nights, worn with chinos or boat shoes/sneakers. Just a relaxed look.Originally Posted by eiddyfouw

That is the point, to make it seems like you are wearingnothing underneath, it's a cleaner look. I am not taking about deep v-necks here that shows off your chest hair, just a normal v-neck. it's a personal opinion on my part.Originally Posted by shogun
i'll never understand the anti-crewneck t-shirt movement in here. the rest of the population thinks they are fine. a v-neck under a v-neck is just weird to me, it looks like you're not wearing anything under the sweater. i think a crewneck just looks better with it. i've never seen anyone wear anything other than a dress shirt or crewneck under it.

I'm going to agree here. The moment I saw it was a 3 button suit I just went. I'd also suggest just starting all over. Check for a 2 button suit and work form there. ^ good advice up here, I suggest you take it.

their extra slim isnt extra slim at all. its just slim compared to their mammoth sized regular fit shirts. if you have an athletic build, you would definitely need to get the shirt tailored at the waist.Originally Posted by oo206oo
Im not taking shots here, but youre not "extra slim" from the pics ive seen. Is there something odd about the sizing of Brooks Brothers shirts i should know.Originally Posted by niidawg3

+ 1 for the BB ... but extra slim for me. interestingly it works great. thats what i have on today Scott Frost.
Im not "extra slim" either, so im wondering if that fit of shirt would work well for me. (im 6'2 215 with really broad shoulders and an athletic build)
My closest BB store is about 45 minutes away, im thinking ill just stop in next time im in the area, to try on the slim fit. Thanks for the heads up guys.
ha - no worries 206. there are many people out there now who give advice even though they havent lived it.
trust me ... 99% of what i say i've experienced. i wont give advice when i havent touched, felt and dealt with the item in question.
BB Extra Slim will fit you like your regular slim fits.
