Comparing me to JM ... we're not even close to being similar except for the fact that we both own chaps!!

Oh, you know I'd back you up. :nod:
I was just comparing your comment to JM always saying he's shy, too. So, see, you have something else in common with him now.

Did a search, came across this thread.
Does the reference cited back on page 1 also cover NCD shirts? I have the same problem as the OP, once I get into a size that I can close around my neck to the top button, I'm swimming in the torso. I blame my rugby days, too much time in the scrum.
I wouldn't mind getting the shirts tailored, but I'm not sure if supply would be happy seeing as these would eventually make their way back to them and would be non-standard all of a sudden. Alternatively, seeing as one would never wear a tie with the NCDs, is there ever an operational requirement where the very top button would have to be closed? If not I could always go down a couple of shirt sizes.
Cheers.

That ref is from the Supply bible. It covers ALL clothing and footwear --- and those pers who can not be fitted into the standard peripheral sizes. Ergo it is applicable to you as well.

Yes there is an operational requirement to be able to button the collar. When you go to "Action Dress," you need to cover yourself up as best you can. If you're wearing a flash hood or your NCD jacket it's not a big deal, but if these items aren't handy, your shirt is all you've got, so you'll need to button it up. If your only issue is that you're swimming in a shirt with a large enough collar, the base tailor should be able to taper it to fit you better. I wouldn't worry about the shirt no longer being standard. By the time you're done with it, it will probably only be a rag anyway (and not a very good one at that) and need to be replaced.
I had the same problem in my younger years (I was a prop); however, don't worry, you'll outgrow it! ;D

Have you tried the "new" NCD shirts? They have the fitted or tapered back.
