hi im wondering if anyone knows of a maker of slender fit style dress shirts for men... the bestexample i can think of is express, if ayones ever worn those, they dont have the same cut as a normal shirt, they seem to be fitted in the waist where as other shirts go baggy there,

turns out to a very nice fitting shirt, i havent found another to have a similar cut on mens shirts but ive even ound rugby shirts here im sure someone makes something like this,

main reason being that it is a very hip urban kind shirt which u can wear untucked and not look like cr@p compared to most dress shirts once u untuck, and are perfect for clubs etc where its "fashion" formal so i figure it would be just perfect where the t shirt wont cut it with the friendly bouncer, ill b doing something like a tribal design not sure but i really need this fit

i dont care about brand... just a fitted dress shirt look u can wear untucked

I would think that something like this would need to be custom made to your specifications. Probably minimum order quantities in the hundreds or thousands.

There isn't a huge after market (for printing on ready made blanks) for button down tops like that.

If what you've seen out there doesn't fit your needs (District Threads, etc), then it might be time to go the custom route.

just curious if you found anything? iknow there are a few places like alibaba.com that lists a ton of overseas manufacturers that already have those designs and could make it with whatever fabric you want, but there is a high minimum order.

i do like the express shirts also and i would like to find something very similar to print on. i have found some button ups but they are usually really thick and not very comfortable. they are on jiffyshirts.com if you want to check them out.

well the shirts are nice, but besides the fitted feel nothing new except the fitted feel on the fitted shirts not most of the modern cut ones, all they have is that they are taken in at the sides by shirt "darts", its nothing hard i just havent found a good way of doing this, its relatively easy being that you can just take them in an inch around the waist each, at the back and bam no "poof" in the back of the shirt, ive been looking for a good quick way to do this,

if i did find something real cost effective, it would be great to do FTL and jerzees, take them in quickly and cheaply, and end up with a premium "american apparel" fit, most people here dont know shirts and can only b sold on whether it looks good, but for button types its a real breakthrough no doubt
