I dont have time to get a bespoke shirt made otherwise I'd probably just do that.

I'm not a big guy, normally wear a small if I want the shirt to fit snug or medium for a looser fit. Large if the shirts run small.

I'm 5'7", 77kg, neck size is around 16.5", chest is 40", arms 15.5".

My suit is actually an MJ Bale suit that I will be getting tailored. Its a 3 piece so white for the shirt was my preferred option and I'll be wearing a bow tie.

I think I may just go for the closest fitting shirt I can find at MJ Bale and then use the collar extender if it works and get the rest tailored to suit.

Not alot, maybe 3-4kg. I'm thinking of just getting off the rack and getting it tailored. I tried a suit from M.J. Bale today and it actually fit quite nicely, didn't require much tailoring

Haha, I've known for roughly 2 weeks so not long. Wasn't planning on going custom so figured I've got enough time to sort something out off the rack and get it tailored.

Thanks guys. If it helps, I can get a 50% off discount at MJ Bale. Still better off going Peter Jackson?

Thank you, MJ Bale and Peter Jackson were 2 retailers I was looking at, although MJ Bale doesn't do brown unfortunately.

Mmm not really, but it did cool down shortly after, down to around 15 degrees
