Thanks for the responses guys!The problem is that I'm starting Monday so I won't have enough time to wait for tailored shirts to be made... guess I should have thought ahead a bit more!!!

<t>Hey,Sorry if this is a totally silly question, but...I'm about to start my first banking job and I need to buy a few shirts. Can anyone recommend a good brand for a tall thin guy?
