Looking to get a new white shirt for a wedding coming up in a couple of weeks, previous attempts at getting shirts from Slaters & M&S haven't worked out as the arms have always been too long when buying by my collar size. I have no issue finding casual shirts that fit me (other than from awkward Our Legacy), but buying dress shirts by collar size always seems to end with long arms and tightness across the back. Any recommendations? I probably need about a 30" sleeve.

You thought of getting one Made to Measure?

Aye, thought of that but left it too late. Got a suit made to measure from Suit Supply last year though and I'm very happy with it, so I'll probably go the MTM route for shirts before the next round of weddings.

Most places like TMLewin do collar sizes with 3 different sleeve lengths. Slim fits, regular fits etc. Check it out.
EDIT: Just checked, minimum sleeve length for most places is 33"

What size collar are you?

Could buy shirts with sleeves too long and then get them altered? I know Emmett shirts has this service but you could always take it to a regular tailor.
