Formal shirt for larger necks

Hi guys

Just after some advice on formal shirts.

I need a new shirt for a wedding and am having trouble finding one that fits.

I have a larger neck (46cm) and the only shirts that fit are XXL which is massive.

A large fits perfect but the necks only seem to be 36 or 38.

Anybody else have this issue? Should I just get one tailor made (sure to be expensive!)?

Hoping someone knows a shop in Melbourne

Cheers guys

  • i think the best solution for you is to go made-to-measure online via Luxire.com or something. look at their measurement guide on how to measure yourself or a shirt you like, and then make adjustments as necessary. The average bespoke shirt from there costs $130 including shipping. what you should do is measure a shirt that fits your body and then take those measurements and combine it with the neck size of your choice. you also need to factor in shrinkage when buying these shirts so add 0.25 inches around the chest and yoke (shoulder area).

  • Try Jeff Banks Slim Fit shirts at Myer.

  • There's also this site: http://www.moderntailor.com/

    I've never actually bought anything from there but had it bookmarked for "one day"

  • I have a size 48 neck, big shoulders but a 4xl swims on me. I found Van Hueson Euro fit to be perfect.

  • Made to measure for sure

  • CTShirts.com.au - I got mine custom made for my wedding, follow their measurement guide and you can't go wrong.
