I relize 15.5 is a measurment, but not all clothers use the same rulers these days so try a few diffrent brand on then find a fav.

With that said, I like Hugo Boss slim fit line; a little more than BB ($100-$115 range not on sale), but will work nicley with your new slim suit. John Varvatos is very slim and very nice. Seem them at Nordstroms Rack for as low as $40.

Buy whatever shirt you can buy at the price point you can afford. Then take it to a tailor and have him take in the sides and slim the sleeves. My tailor charges me $16 per shirt to do this and the result is a shirt that fits darn near perfectly.

BTW, I am 5'6", 130lbs, 37" chest, 28" waist, so OTR shirts fit me more or less like a poncho.

Huh, we have almost the exact same measurements. Except I'm a couple pounds heavier and an inch thicker in the chest and waist.

I never ever find OTR stuff that fits me. The best i can do is get close. However, the Levi 501 STF actually fits me very well. I buy 31x32, shrinks to about 29.5 x 29.5, fits me like a glove.

Geoffrey Beene fitted actually fits close, but not close enough to my satisfaction. But their materials stink.
