Post #230,259 by Another Scott 10/20/05 4:48:01 PM Reply	Know the feeling. I think it mostly has to do, in my case, with poorly fiting shirts. I have the choice of wearing a sack with a big enough neck or a nicely fitted shirt with a neck that's too tight. Custom shirts are something I've thought about, but never long enough to do something about it before the next time I needed to wear a tie. Cheers, Scott.
Post #230,263 by jbrabeck 10/20/05 4:51:13 PM Reply	Get ONE nice fitted shirt for those special occassions. It DOES make a difference. And if you're getting ONLY one, make it white. Can go with every suit and tie. A good friend will come and bail you out of jail ... but, a true friend will be sitting next to you saying, "Damn...that was fun!"
Post #230,268 by Yendor 10/20/05 5:04:45 PM Reply	I'm with ya. 18 inch neck, 32/33 inch sleeve. Once in a while, I can find a shirt that actually fits. But like you, I don't really wear 'em often enough to make that much of a difference. -YendorMike "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin, 1759 Historical Review of Pennsylvania
