Back, and wishing for shirts that fit

Does this bother the hell out of anyone else... okay, I know it does, because I just glanced through the style forum posts. The first one is what I wish shirts would fit like - the only problem is it is promoted as the "signature baggy fit" which is basically like saying "yes, you're right, you won't look like the model. - even if your measurements are the same as his." and they just get worse from there on out... I think I'm going to suggest to the style forum people that we go ahead and get some actual information on this, try to compile a list of actual numbers - chest size, waist size, etc... so that we know exactly how each line's fit actually, numerically, fits.

I'm also thinking of visiting a tailor.

And wishing I had a job (and lived in a climate) where wearing suits was normal - to cover the unsightly bulge which seems inevitable in any dress shirt purchase.
