In Between

I can't be the only one who has a hard time finding a shirt that fits. Right?

Most places I shop, I seem to be in between two different shirt sizes. I find one that fits in the chest, but is too short in the arms; or one that fits my arms but has too much fabric in the shoulders/chest/back... what-have-you. It's a little frustrating. Most of the time I settle for a shirt that fits through the torso and just roll up my sleeves to compensate for the shorter length. I'm narrow and long! String beans are harder to dress than you might think.

Most brands offer different fit camps, which definitely helps (Tailored/Slim/Classic/Modern, etc.). They have come a long way in more than one type of body, but there is a long way to go.

That's where Aspecd Apparel has us all figured out. They came up with the genius idea of in-between sizing! In addition to XS, S, M, L, and XL, they offer XS/S, S/M, .... you get the idea. And free alterations and free shipping! They are super dedicated to making sure your shirt fits perfectly. It's like having a tailor make each shirt from scratch for the price of an off-the-shelf woven. They even have a tool to help you gauge your exact size. Do you have a J-Crew shirt that fits you perfectly except for one detail? Type it in and they will suggest the exact size you need. It's creepy good.

Oh, and all of the shirts are made by hand in Brooklyn in 'micro batches'. There's limited quantities of each shirt so you can rest assured you won't bump into another blogger wearing your shirt. Not that that has happened to me or anything...

Anyway, I teamed up with Aspecd to get you guys a special discount so you too can experience having a shirt that actually fits. Follow the Aspecd + Modern Otter link below to get $20 off your first order! Then let me know what you think when you get the shirt!!
