Are these sentences correct:

1) His shirt is cut slim and white.
2) His shirt will be cut slim and white.

The meaning seems clear, but I'd say 'white and cut slim'. The order of the words doesn't seem natural to me. I get the feeling that the sentences are telling us that the shirt is/will be cut slim and it is/will be cut white! That is nonsensical, of course.

Gratefully,
Navi

His shirt will be of slim cut?
 
Right—cut slim is okay but cut white doesn't make sense.
 
I thought "slim cut", a noun, is a set phrase, to mean the style/fashion of cutting. Is it natural to use it as a verb phrase, as in cut slim (by a tailor?)?
 
If it wasn't natural, don't you think one of us would have pointed that out by now?
