A military Hunting Stewart kilt joins my collection

Gentlemen,

If you are having issues getting a shirt that fits, I suggest exploring the "made to measure" services available on the web.

Get someone to help you take your measurements. Then you can pick your fabric, your collar style, buttons, cuffs (barrel or "French"), etc. and the shirt will be made for you to your specifications.

There are many such offerings online. One I have used is Modern Tailor (www.moderntailor.com), which does their tailoring in Shanghai and ships the shirt direct to you. They have a very wide range of cloth and colors. I bought several shirts from them when I lived in Florida, and the results were good: quality construction, styled just as I asked, and the prices were about what I would pay for readymade shirt at a typical men's store. Tobus, you can have them leave the pocket off, which solves the issue you described.

There are other companies out there doing the same thing, such as Proper Cloth, but I don't have any personal experience with them.
