Men's Dress Shirt recommendations

[bobkat]

Wasn't sure where to post this, mods please move if inappropriate to this section.

The short of it is, I'm done with the department store stuff. It doesn't fit well, fabric quality is horrid, collars are never stiff enough. Calvin Klein, Hugo Boss, Ralph Lauren ... i gave them a good 10 years through training and my early career, I think it's time to move on.

I've read a bit about the Jermyn Street shirt maker's and spoken to friends who have some PINK and Charles Tyrwhitt shirts ... a colleague of mine swears by Hilditch and Key. So many choices out there!

Give me your recommendations and experiences. My price range goes up to 75 bucks a shirt, but i'd rather keep it in the TM Lewin or Tyrwhitt price range (around 50). Greatly appreciate it guys and gals.

Mostly wear black or gray slacks with Allen Edmonds (oxfords and monk strap options) on the feet.

Brooks Brothers hands down. Get the wrinkle free. Come in slim cut and extra slim cut

[gazpacho]

brooks brothers. they have sales twice a year where their $135-200 shirts are like $50-75. the "regular" shirts are good (like $75 normally?), but their super premium shirts are even better.

BB is definitely in the running as well as is JAB, thanks for the suggestions guys. Anything else a little more off the traditional path?

[chuddism]

I do TM Lewin, Hawes & Curtis as well as Charles Tyrwhitt. I have always found those to my liking. Although I will say I am moving away from TM a bit these days. The other two are excellent, especially if you like bolder patterns.

Never been a fan of the Brooks Brothers fit.

Brooks Brothers wrinkle free slim fit - best shirts I have ever found.

Turnbull Assner are the best in my humble opinion.

You buy Tom Ford shirts and yet you are on a rep forum! Im jealous! Tom Ford shirts are my dream. But if you are looking for quality shirts look no further than http://www.indochino.com/. They have custom made dress shirts in draw dropping material (I own a shirt + suit. quality is amazing, on par with z zegna and hugo boss) with an impeccable fit, since it is custom .

Ehm, I have friends who drive new Ferraris on this board. Why the predjudice?

And the only brands I wet my pants over are Brunello cuchinello and Loro Piana - maybe a few of Zegnas better lines. But never a fashion brand like TF. (Or YSL, or Dior, or anythink else.) And then I still bought 20 pair of high ends fashion shoes the last years..

Is this a typo? Other than that, I like your choice of brands. You know how to live! Too bad only few people know how to appreciate that.

TO OP: In all seriousness, if you want nice shirts, my advice is custom made shirts. Take a shirt that you like to the tailor and tell him where the shirt doesn't fit. This will give him a good idea. It might be hard to find custom made shirts in your price range, but it is well worth the money. But be aware, once you go custom, you never go back.

No typo.
when it comes to BC and LP I can get over-excited

Ctshirts.com. Awesome sales. Non-iron slim fit for everyday or sea island cotton for something special

[allonblack]

Not sure if you have it, but I really appreciate the Nordstrom shirts, both their tailored options and the some of the out of the box ones as well. 75-150 or so a a shirt.

[Wilazn]

Most of my shirts are TM Lewin St James slim fits. They fit me perfectly and they have tons of patterns/colors.

[harley07]

Paul Fredrick custom order can't be beat for the money

[bobkat]

Found a couple good deals on some Turnbull and Asser shirts in my price range. I hope they dont rep jermyn st shirts! I might have just been taken for a ride

I've owned a couple Nordstrom shirts which were OK but it me weird. Will look into Paul Frederick too. Thanks!

[Sumphead]

I've kind of become a fan of english laundry. Though I only have a couple. But the BB recommendation is a good one.

I must be dreaming. Americans buying slim fit? Really?

It can`t be true
