I have a question that relates to a problem where finding off-the-rack dress shirts that fit me with-out extensive tailoring involved.

I'm built kinda............ like a gorilla. I'm 5'-11", 218lbs, 38" waist and wear a 44 reg jacket or slim-fit 46 reg jacket. I don't know what my chest size is, but that's the jacket sizing that fits me. My neck is @18.5" and my shirt sleeve length needs to be 35/36" as I have a long reach for my height.

And herein lies the problem. ..............I like my clothes to fit me, not hang off of me. When looking to buy nice dress shirts - most stop at 18" neck and 34/35" sleeves. I have a few Tommy Hilfiger and Michael Kors slim-fit shirts that are in that range but I cannot wear a tie because the neck is only 18".

So to have anymore nice dress shirts where I can't completely button to then wear a tie is useless.

I have checked many of the better men's brands and all seem to go big-n-tall after 18" neck sizing. I'm neither 'big' or 'tall' so those shirts are set for dudes that have 48" waistlines and up.

I frequent my local Macy's and really can find a very nice selection of quality men's clothes - but this shirt thing is killin me. I've looked extensively online but am coming up empty.

I see where there are custom tailored shirts available from scratch but most seem to start @$200 + each which for me is out of my budget per shirt. Anyone have this issue? Or sources to find what I'm looking for?
