I recommend you go to the Turnbull Asser store on Jermym Street or Old Broad Street in London.
Custom is the way to go if you can find a good tailor. I just ordered 2 from my favorite spot. 85 each. The best part is customizing everything down to a bigger cuff on one side for your watch.
turnbull asser are quality, but is there somewhere less than <100 pounds a shirt? in london you would recommend
You may want to consider Thomas Pink.
See below web link:
http://www.us.thomaspink.com/
T and A isn't always pattern matched. Thomas pink usually is. Hilditch and key are also pattern matched.
For inexpensive shirts I really am liking Charles Tyrwhitt. Fabric not the best, but def worth 30 bucks a shirt.
Got a nice tie from Charles Tyrwhitt on Jermyn, think Ill take a gander down there and T and A next time I swing by Selfridges to have a look at some watches. Who knows maybe Daniel Craig will be in there for his annual fitting?
For the price I like Charles Tyrwhitt and also TM Lewin.
You can always get yourself a hope and change shirt for 2013. See below web link:

^ I like these ^
So, in the airport lounge, departing london.
I ended up striking luck on Jermyn St
- New & Lingwood (6 Shirts) - Currently a sale 3 shirts for 125 pounds.
- got one in T&A - 65 pounds I think, reduced from 95. Additional shirts were 45 pounds each, but I didnt get the love here - seemed very up-themselves to be honest.
- I got 5 TM Lewin Shirts for 105 pounds total.
I got some good deals at Harrods too:
- Ralph Lauren Belt (1 black / 1 Brown) 28 pounds each, reduced from 185!!
- Ermenegildo Zegna/Ted Baker/Other brands reduced from 95-280 to 10-30 pounds.
- dress shoes from Harrods which were on sale (lower ground) ended up with four pairs.
That much reduction at Harrods? Sure it's not stock left over from the nineties?Quote:

Decent sale at Charles Tyrwhitt now.
US use XANU for $20 off
UK use CT15off
However, UK prices are cheaper Than US
Just placed an order. I don't know my size so ordered slim fit. Weird how extra slim fit has a 44" chest size for 16" neck

The cut is modern (maybe made for enormous texans?), the shoulders and cuffs are pattern matched, much better construction and excellent fabric. T and A shirts end up looking like bargain basement rejects honestly. Pricing is similar between the two, so for a little bit more than CT and BB etc, I've found H&K to be my go to.
Lol I just realized I'd posted about this higher up in this thread. I just bought two new shirts and was impressed, which is why I came back to this thread ... doh.
When you start going into $120+ a shirt you are better off getting custom made shirts in HK. Pick the material and get measured. And come back in a few days to pick them up.
That's true, nothing like Sams in HK, but i'm only over there once a year or so (and haven't gone at all recently). Sometimes you have to fill the gaps. I used to fill it with macy's or lord and taylor or whatever was at the mall. But happy to find other options. If you can make a trip to Sams though, its tops.Quote:

Even bespoke T&A shirts aren't pattern matched. I'd expect more craftsmanship.Quote:

Now I know what you are referring to. Based on my custom tailor Turnbull Asser shirts I own - they are pattern matched. Some of the off the rack Turnbull Asser shirts that I have bought recently are not pattern matched.Quote:

Your custom tailored shirts are likely not pattern matched as you didn't know what pattern matching was and it's generally a specific request when you get measured there at the store on Jermyn. If you ordered custom shirts from their website or by phone then they are not pattern matched. Generally T&A is overrated and that's what i've found after buying several of their shirts.Quote:

I continually am impressed by the detail, and quality fabric from PFQuote:

When I was a medical student, TM Lewin and CT were already a stretch for my budget, but they would always get positive comments from the stylish female attendings and residents. Hell they're still all I can afford. CT material is probably slightly nicer, but I like the fit of TM Lewin better. That reminds me of the things some of my classmates used to wear...plaid shirt with light blue khakis and a cotton tie no socks and deck shoes. I used to think "this is medicine not a hipster parade."
I find TP to be way overpriced and the quality mediocre. BB used to have more american made shirts and that were worth the premium; now I see those are mostly fat fit or oxfords. The made in Malyasia non-iron slim fit don't feel as good as the old ones did. BB is definitely a staple amongst the older attending physicians and they definitely appreciated a conservative look. and it's not that expensive on sale. I'd still stick with the $30-40 on sale CT/TML because I look silly in fat fit. I've picked up a bunch of BR non-iron shirts on clearance + coupon for $5-15. These are hard to beat, because at that price you don't have to worry about getting them dirty in the hospital. Much better quality than express.
