Better fitting pilot shirts?

Post by bater »

I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a good brand of shirt that fits a thinner build than Goldstars? I'm using their 16 tall right now, and they fit like a friggin garbage bag through the torso. I'm 6' 0", 190lbs, 32 waist, 44 chest, 16 neck, no gut. Thanks!

go look up 'seamstress' or 'tailor' in the yellow pages.... they'll fix you up for a lot less than you'd expect.

These are the best fitting pilot shirts I have ever found. They are a little more expensive, but the quality is incredible. They have a very slight taper to them so they don't have that massive spill over at your belt, and they do not fit like a tent. Also, no see through nippleage.

Best shirts I have found that are thick, fit very well and stay stiff after many washes are Marvholland at the city CYXD.

You wont be dissapointed, you can call them to order and usually takes 4 days FEDEX for reasonable rate.

Cheers

Just got some new shirts that I'm very impressed with. Van Heuson "Aviators". I think they are one of the nicest shirts I've ever had in terms of look, feel and fit ... FWIW!
