Hey guys, I just received my package from CT and wow these shirts are not made for the "average" 5'7 150lbs. I have ordered the extra slim fit... Did anyone have the same problem as me? where can I get a nice fitted shirt?
Any takers?
thanks!

An extra slim fit CT shirt was too BIG for you? Do you even lift?
Jokes aside, if a extra slim CT shirt is too big for you, ask around the office to see if anyone knows a good custom guy. I know a guy in Chi that does them for $50 a shirt and they are great.
Very nice, sounds like a great deal ... can I possible get the contact info?
same here
PM sent. Would like to get this guy's contact info!
If a CT extra slim is too big for you (and you measured correctly) you either need to hit the gym or get a custom guy.
Pretty sure the OP meant too slim for him. I order the slim fit (5'10" 170) and it doesn't require extra tailoring. Try regular slim from CT.
Except for the thread title: "...Charles Tyrwhitt is too big for me"
I lift bro haha, and have the opposite problem. Tightness in chest/shoulders. Your best bet is to buy the closest fitting brand off the rack, and take it to your tailor. If you're in NYC, and want the name of a good and somewhat reasonably priced shirtmaker...PM me.
try thomas pink extra slim fit...if that's still too big you need to start shopping in the women's department
Asian genetics boys, to be honest the extra slim fit is good, but its not great. Id better wearing a slim-fit shirt at zara. but their quality scares me away
Are you expecting it to fit this slim?

...because don't. I'm like the same weight as you, and the slim fit is small.
these fits looks amazing..but $465..this is just crazy!
JC Penney sells a brand of shirts called Stafford. Look for the slim fit non-wrinkle cut ($20). They have 'fitted' shirts as well, but the 'slim fit' are more of a European cut and fit me perfectly. These shirts fit better than shirts that have cost me $150+...(100% srs).
fyi: I don't normally shop at JC Penney. I wanted to see for myself out how the management turnout plan strategy was being executed, so I decided to walk in. I saw these shirts on the way out---along with some other stuff---and ended up buying a couple of things. best. purchase. ever.
I buy Stafford undershirts they are slim and LONG, key if you have that build. Solid for an undershirt. Unfortunately, it's the only frugal part of my wardrobe.
Hit the gym. Not to be a dick, but 150 lbs is pretty frail.
^^Polo v-neck undershirts...all day errday
This is a good example from pinterest of how the shirts fit. Pictured below: modern silhouette – stafford fitted dress shirt and silk tie

Try uniqlo slim fit shirts. Definitely have a slimmer silhouette than CT or BB. Quality might not be quite as good, but better than Zara imho
Do you even eat? You guys saying you are similar size plus the original poster are scrawny....
Do you even eat brah? Do you even lift?
It's okay OP, we're all gonna make it brah...
Charles Tyrwhitt too big? Just work on an IG bond sales floor for a couple weeks. Most of those motherfuckers look like god damn Jabba the Hutt.
Seriously, ever see a 50 year old man with fucking acne and you're like "how the fuck did that happen?" Let me tell you - that motherfucker's been selling some vanilla IG corporate bonds for like 30 years.
