T shirt for athletic build (44 inch chest)

Question

Any suggestions for affordable T-shirts suited to an athletic build, with a 44-inch chest and a 38-inch chest waist?

I prefer Next Level shirts. Their large cotton T-shirts nearly fit but feel slightly tight across the chest. Moving to extra large seems likely to be too loose; I am effectively between sizes.

For context, their large is 44 inches and extra large is 48 inches. Since my chest is about 44 inches, I would ideally want something around 45 or 46 inches—essentially between the standard large and extra large.

This pattern appears consistent across the brands I can locate. It seems 44 inches is the usual large and 48 inches the usual extra large.
