I'm looking for a few brand suggestions as to slim-fit dress shirts. These would not be for work. They would be nice shirts to wear with jeans while out on the weekends. Thanks.

Hawes & Curtis have their Warwick slim fit shirts, and they also have a Warwick tailored fit which is supposed to be even slimmer than the regular Warwick silm fit shirts. I own a few of the regular Warwick slim fit shirts and they are quite nice, and slim. I don't know about the tailored fit ones...

It depends on whether or not you plan to wear these shirts untucked. If you want them untucked, you'll probably have to do a lot of searching since most shirts are too long for that. A custom-made shirt from someone like Mytailor or Jantzen might work best for that. But if you plan to tuck in these shirts, then the British slim-fit RTW brigade would work well (Tyrwhitt, Lewin, Hawes & Curtis at the value end and the more expensive shirtmakers like Hilditch & Key, Harvie & Hudson, Thomas Pink). I find most North American shirts, like the ones you can find at Banana Republic or in department sores, to have flimsy-looking collars and just a general frumpier look than most of the British shirts, which is why I'd recommend importing some shirts instead.

These will definitely be worn tucked in. I looked at the Harvie & Hudson website. Can these shirts be worn with jeans and without a tie?

How slim fit do you want them to be? Because BB slim fit is a lot less slim than RL Black Label. And the slim fit can be in different places as well (i.e. body vs. arms).

I find that the BB slim fit is slim enough to remove most blousiness while still remaining conservative.

if the shirts don't have to be top quality, i would consider going with land's ends custom shirts. they make them as slim as you want them without costing a fortune.

I happen to fancy the TM Lewin and Hackett slim-fit shirts.

I received an email from Lands End yesterday and they said that they are closing out their "tailored fit" shirts in favor of a new line of trim cut shirts called "Xfit".

Paul Fredrick is a sponsor of this site and has a nice selection of trim-fit shirts. I have a few of them, and think they are nice quality at a reasonable price. You can get one to try out pretty cheap on their closeouts page.

I got the dimensions on their sport shirts (sized M, L, etc.) and they look very big. I would recommend you stick with the 'trim-fit' shirts sold by neck and sleeve size.

Land's End tailored fit and Paul Fredrick trim fit seem to be almost identical in size. LE shirts are nice, but they don't have the selection that PF does.
