Best fitting white shirts

Forgive me if this has been asked before, but I'm looking to buy some new white shirts for work and am trying to find a brand that fits better. Currently I wear shirts from Van Huesen, and because I'm short (5'6") I feel there is just too much extra material and it looks very sloppy tucked in. Any recommendations on shirts that you find are better fitting especially if you are on the shorter side?

Thanks guys.

I've found that "A Cut Above" has the best shirts and pants for that matter. They cost a little bit more than others, but in my option they are worth it.

Second this. Made the switch and love them. Won't wear anything else now.

A cut above has been my favorite, and the quality is one of the best shirts. I recommend the tapered or fitted.

I'll have to try these. My current uniform, "the aviator" by Van Heusen, makes you look like a kid wearing his dads work shirt...

I'm a fan of the acutabove shirts. Pilot shirt and pilot uniform manufacturer, buy direct.

The fitted tropo fits well on me and I'm a skinny guy 5'10" 140lbs. Also, they're wrinkle-free so you never have to iron them. Throw in your bag and pull them out they're ready to wear.

Love cut above as well. I have the cirrus I think, I take mine to the dry cleaners, never tried to topo. But the collar is nice as it doesn't irritate your neck. I've ironed mine a few times to freshen up, but they will hold a nice pressed look for a few days from the cleaners.

Yo man, I'm the same height as you and use a cut above fitted tropo shirts. They even have an option to bring in the shirt 1/4" or more to make it more trim.

Definitely A-Cut-Above fitted shirts. Get the tapered if you've got a belly

Slightly off the shirt topic but speaking of A Cut Above, has anyone tried the pants they make lately? I tried a pair a year or two ago and the bottom of the leg by the ankle was very narrow. Just curious if this has been corrected. I love their shirts and Id like to give the pants another shot.
