Big Neck - Can’t Find Shirts

Hi monkeys,
I am a skinny person with a huge neck (wrestler build) so I have trouble finding a non-iron shirt that fits.

I don’t want a collar extender, it looks like a choker.

I usually don’t button the last one but I might have to for interviews (to wear a tie).

I only wear non-iron because I’m lazy and I can’t afford custom made. But I can get it tailored.

Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some recommendations for your situation:

  1. Charles Tyrwhitt Non-Iron Shirts: These are highly recommended for their quality and fit. They offer a range of sizes, including options for larger necks, and their extra slim fit might work well for your build. They also have multi-buy deals, which can help keep costs down.

  2. Proper Cloth: This brand allows you to customize your shirt fit by answering a few questions. While not fully custom-made, it provides a tailored-like fit without the high price tag.

  3. State and Liberty: Designed for athletic builds, these shirts are fitted for broader necks and slimmer waists. They are non-iron, machine washable, and wrinkle-free, making them a convenient option.

  4. Tailoring Off-the-Rack Shirts: If you find a shirt that fits your neck but is too loose elsewhere, consider buying inexpensive shirts and having them tailored. Fit is the most important aspect, and tailoring can make a significant difference.

  5. Brands to Explore:

    • Brooks Brothers: Look for sales to find affordable options.
    • TM Lewin: Known for their variety of fits and non-iron options.
    • Uniqlo: While their sizing might be hit or miss, they offer affordable non-iron shirts that could work with tailoring.

For interviews, ensure the shirt fits well around the neck to avoid discomfort when wearing a tie. Tailoring and exploring brands that cater to athletic builds will help you achieve a polished look without breaking the bank.
