They are sized by neck and sleeve length, so if you get a shirt that fits you in the neck, chances are it won't fit everywhere else. For years I bought shirts that fit in the neck and had them altered to fit. Today there are online tailors that will custom make you a shirt that fits perfectly and it isn't that expensive.
