I wear a 17 3/4 neck shirt with 32 waist...if you think you are swimming in your shirt you should see mine. I have called and asked for a tapered shirt...the response I got was that it already is.
So I spend about 15 $ bucks a shirt.
Tapered the sides...
Bring in the sleeves length and girth
Epelittes bar holder things, shortened
And then move up the pockets...
My lady I go to is a sewing ninja
After all that...I at least look like a professional.

So, is the blue Van Heusen Aviator (the one you can get at retailers/Amazon) the exact JetBlue shirt? https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00YM...heusen+aviator
Does B6 allow to use a custom alternative so long as the color and style matches?

I was only given one choice for a shirt size and fit and it was the Van Heusen Aviator. I chose my neck size and that's it. I'm 5"7 150 lbs and I'm swimming in this huge shirt! Minus steroids to bulk up, does anyone know of a good place to order a custom "blue shirt" from? I could get it altered, but it's overall too large and will look funny if I just take in the torso. Any suggestions would help, the uniform store at JB University told me it was the only option, that van heusen doesn't offer a slim fit and alteration was my only choice.

You missed the piont. The police don't pay to have their uniforms tailored. The taxpayer does. When they exit the cruiser they look sharp and together. If we wear ours how they come we look like potatoe.

No I totally got the point. The point is I'll act like a professional regardless of whether I bemoan that my company provides low quality, off the shelf stock uniforms that are entirely unsuitable for a 5'9" guy that knows his way around a squat rack and bench press. Or said another way, I won't use uniforms as an excuse to act unprofessional. But hey, we have programs for that. And according to my brother - an officer - they pay to have uniforms tailored. But they can deduct it of course. Oh wait... so can we.
