Men's Dress Shirt recommendations

[Questions]

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 ?

I have tried, and own, them all.
The best shirts, the BEST are good old Marks and Sparks - M&S. If you go online to their store you can buy them custom styled.
I don't buy anything else, except Boateng Couture for that special occassion, but brace yourself at the till!

Known to most of us Brits as Marks and Sparks.... But yes, that would be Marks & Spencers..

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.

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?

Tailor make it:

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.

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.

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.

[Aero_Dave]

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.

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.

Hey you fashionistas out there need to post some pics so us fashion challenged have something to go by.

I realize this is a bit of an old thread but custom made shirts are available online now. I've heard good things about proper fit.com, although I haven't used them. Shirts can run around $150 - but it is a perfect fit to you and you get to choose fabric, cuffs, monogram, etc. And if your weight is fairly consistent, they will have your measurements when you want to order more.

Not sure if this helps go to nordstroms site most of the shorts they have Re $55.00 crisp collars

[homerj]

Great thread....what slim fit shirts are available in Australia? Any suggestions and where to buy?

[Seawolf49]

Ordering online is the way to go mate. Just know your exact side

[bobkat]

Recently been buying shirts from Joe Hemrajani. Really great quality fabrics and nice construction. You can find him online at mytailor.com

Bought a few from indochino as well, nice but not as nice as what Joe has been making for me.
