To get the right neck size and sleeve length that I require, my shirts are typically too large in the bicep and around the waist. I've just gotten used to it, because that's how standard size shirts fit on me. Until I had a shirt actually made-to-measure, I didn't know the different.
Boy, do I know what you're talking about, come to the standard sizes not fitting. I've been thinking recently on having a shirt made for me, just to see what it was like... currently my chest measurement is 13 inches larger than my waist, so you can imagine how much extra shirt fabric I usually have hanging around. Literally.
