Today’s shopping request is for a 6’10” man who is fed up with ill-fitting clothing. He especially wants some work dress shirts that fit. His size is a 18.5″ neck, like a slim fit and has worn 38″ sleeve lengths, but would love to have a 40″ sleeve length. He has a 38″ waist and wears a 36″-38″ inseam length. Our client is 40 years old and describes his style as preppy. He also lives in Canada, so he needs items that will ship to Canada. (that’s a challenge, but I think I got it.) His budget is to try and keep most items under $50.
