Another nod to Nordstrom (with no "s" at the end). I too have a hard time finding shirts that fit, except at the opposite end of the spectrum: I have a 19" neck. But I always find those at N. ALL of my dress shirts are from there. However, expect to pay $45 MINIMUM for a shirt (the most I have allowed myself to spend for a shirt was about $80, but you can go MUCH higher there). Another good thing about Nordstrom shirts is that ther aren't split sleeve lengths (32/33 et. al.). If you are a 33" sleeve length, they will have it (or can get it for you from another store). I am a true 35" sleeve and every 34/35 shirt I've bought has been too short (and the rare 36/37 is too long).

I also suggest (if you wear ties with these shirts) going with basic colors - white, blue, etc. and jazzing them up with fashionable ties. This allows for better flexability in wardrobe.

Nordstrom also does custom fitted shirts but they are probably cheaper at Land's End.

And "short-sleeved dress shirt" is an oxymoron: if it is short-sleeved, it is not a dress shirt.
