+1 on the car wash pics. I wish our local car wash employees were so easy on the eyes.
If it hasn't been mentioned yet, ledbury shirts are incredible. They only sell online. I swear by them, great fabrics, colors, patterns and the come in traditional fit and a more tappered look. They are relatively inexpensive at $135.

Malaysians really know how to wash cars, better than us Yanks. Too bad the deal is over?
Wow, this look amazing. I totally had not noticed this company before, even them being a vendor on a lot of forums. I will definitely check them out. How's their classic vs. slim fit?Quote:

Best bit for same quality at a more decent price would be tailormade, as just 5 shirts can easily justify the ticket to India or Thailland - with a free vacation included...:-)
I struggle to find shirts that remain crease free and look sharp all day. Most of the CT or Lewyn shirts I have had are 'creasers'
One of the best crease free materials I've found are Kirkland shirts from Costco!
Anyone in the UK recommend any non creasers ?
Paul
creases happen, have to deal with it. I dont like Non-iron shirts because the material feels to stiff and cheap.
Custom.
Been using Indochine with my latest batch and im impressed with the quality and price.
I agree! For years I wore Brooks Brothers non iron, slim fit shirts and after 6 or 8 months of washing the cuffs and collars would start to frey. I tried Costco' s Kirkland brand non iron shirts and they are actually a very similar cut to BB slim fits and they actually last longer AND they have some really nice patterns for on $17.99 a shirt!Quote:

Thomas Pink is my choice. LV group, and great online service.
I recommend bespoke shirts. There are quite a few tailors that travel across North America and the world to offer a wide range of options. It's not as expensive as you may believe and the fit is great if you're build isn't "off the rack".
Hugo Boss shirts are reasonably priced and are pretty durable. Canalli, Armani are great but are a different price point.
One thing I've learned is that really high end fabrics, and that goes with suits too, look and feel great but wear out really fast. Some custom shirts that I had made in Italy look like I just played rugby in them at the end of the day.
double post
i remember seeing a post a long time ago about an outfit the traveled around the US taking measurements, and the shirts, slacks, suits were made in china for pretty cheap...anyone got more info on this?

Ive ordered about 50 shirts from here, great place once you get your customs size right.
Can't go wrong with brooks brothers
No offense but the sizing for Brooks brothers is terrible. Typical American sizing. It fits only if you are a twig or obese. If you have any kind of athletic body it looks like you have a parachute on.Quote:

TM Lewin shirts from my experience are not very durable at all.
Charles Tyrwhitt is a better option in a similar price range, but as mentioned Turnbull and Asser are on another level in terms of quality and fit.
I would be interested to find out where you found a good deal on Turnbull and Asser shirts bobkat.
I'm pretty keen on non-iron Banana shirts but I wish they had more diversity in their collars. The trick is to know the sizing conventions. They have XS, S, M, L, XL ... XS is only available online and not really worth it as its really really skinny.
Now here's the kicker, each size has 3 sub sizes. Classic, slim and tailored slim. Thats in order of biggest to largest. I have a feeling that the smallest of one size and the largest of the next can be quite close so there's some overlap but the cut isn't 100% the same. Things like the neck and cuffs can differ but because of all the sizes you can pretty much find something fitted to your body without going to a tailor unless you've got a really odd shaped body.
If you're decently fit I would start with the medium tailored slim and small slim.
I actually fit quite well in their tailored slim fit XL shirts. But I only like the shirts with the spread collars.Quote:

For the price range quoted, Thomas Pink would be my choice, followed by Tyrwhitt. Lewin has some weird collar cuts (for me), and don't seem to last as long. Pink does great ties too.
I wear Theory in Medium. Sometimes they can be a bit short, but for an athletic built they work well.
BTW, 6 feet and 180 lbs.
Thanks for the info guys. I'm looking for something new. Here is the US, I have been getting Jos A. Banks.
Not bad for off-the-rack guys like me. 16.5 / 34.
Dave...
Charles Tyrwhitt.
They just had a sale that worked out to be $30/shirt.
You're not going to get cheaper than that.
The quality is amazing. I believe they are Egyptian cotton and the collar stays are brass. Doesn't have the extra stuff like MOP buttons but still great for the price and they fit well.
When was the sale? I was out on their web site yesterday. Current sale is 4x$199Quote:
