Vintage Brooks OCBD seem to be massive in the chest/pit to pit?
Hi! I'm looking to get an OCBD or two.
Many of the vintage brooks with a 15" collar seem to have 23-24" pit to pit measurements, with the smallest I could find being a 21.5" p2p.
I normally wear 15-15.5" collar, 17-18" shoulders, and 19-20.5" chest, so that seems massive on me! The other measurements seem about right though. Am I missing something, or are these shirts just going to be billowy on me? I'm on the shorter side too, so I'll either have to tailor or tuck these shirts in, and I'm worried that a large pit to pit measurement + tucked in would look bad. Kamakura seems to have OCBDs that are more in my size range, so perhaps I should just look there?
Thanks for any advice!
