I was wondering what are some good shirts, I know Thomas Pink, Brooks brother are known for there shirts are they worth the price? I bought several BR shirts over the weekend since they had a July 4th weekend sale and they look nice and fit good. So for now I am good with shirts, but I am planning on saving up money for when I start working on Monday to buy some quality clothes. I am looking to buy A.E park Ave and wan't to buy some shirts and pants. I am just wondering are they worth the price? I own Gap and Express pants from my college days and they still fit me well and look good. What brands do you recommend and can you usually get them for cheap?

I think the point is (if the logo is not that obvious so everyone knows you are wearing GAP to work) to look like you work there, hence dress like everyone else. I would say expensive brands are usually more expensive to take care of as well, i.e. dry cleaning. As long as you feel comfortable walking in your office then you should be fine. Do buy a set of nice clothes for meeting management team of other companies and for important company events.
I recommend Hilditch and Key... They're on sale right know and quality-wise they're just a notch below Turnbull & Asser. http://www.hilditchandkey.co.uk/Gentlemen/Shirts/Cutaway-Collar/Default… Otherwise CT is probably the way to go. The fit and the fabrics are exceptional compared to shirts in the same price range. I personally think that AE Park Ave is one of the essentials. You will need two nice pairs of dress shoes though. Never wear the same shoes two days in a row. Always let them rest for a day.
Can you find those shirts in the U.S?
Does CT stand for charles tyrwhitt, . There pretty cheap to not bad price. How are there slim-fit?
Thanks.
Not sure to be honest.
Yes, haven't tried their slim fit shirts yet, but other British slim fit shirts tend to be just fine. Just about right for a guy of normal stature.
Modern tailor. All day everyday. Buy double ply and it blows away any shirt you'll buy from any high street brand. Get a good tailor to measure you first and enjoy $50 shirts that would cost you $200 anywhere else.
Eton of Sweden. Machine wash, hang to dry and no need to iron, built-in collar stays, and high quality.
You should check out Stenstroms! Great quality http://www.stenstroms.com/
i like the tight fit shirts
Thanks for the inputs guys much appreciated, I got a better idea of what to get now. That Eton of Sweden has some great design shirts but I can't seem to find a U.S store or anything.

Thanks, greatly appreciate that.
How much do the Eton shirts run for?
About 130 euros. Probably a bit more in the US
I have some good Thomas Pink and Rhodes and Beckett Shirts (an Australian Brand). Thomas Pink has special little extras I like, like the little triangle support for the base of the side seams (the 'gusset'), and long cuffs.
I'd also recommend www.pickashirt.com. They make them to order to fit you, with really good quality cotton, which will give you a more tailored fit than something off the rack.
There are many types of shirts in colours and quality.Always choose which support your personality.Usa is big country in world and have lot of malls which are famous their quality and personality.
Work on your english or your green card.
I personally like to wear shirts in fitting so i can show my figure to all.
Brooks Bros non iron are where it's at. You don't even worry about having to dry clean them; you can just put them in the wash and they come out of the dryer looking pressed.
Another vote for Eton. They are $260 I the US for me (I'm on the west coast). I have four shirts from their slim line and even then have the tailor put in darts on the back (the two vertical stitches in the shirt that tighten the back).
My first Eton shirt I got about 5 years back and still running strong. I never iron them either. I wash, air dry by hanging, and then it fits relatively tight as its slim/tailored so I never really get wrinkles.
Aside from that, I have my other shirts custom made at a tailor. They are not as expensive as one would think (usually less than Eton) and I get to pick my cloth, patterns, cuffs, collar style, etc). I'll even get a monogram if I make the cuffs/collar white).
Best price to quality dress shirt? (Originally Posted: 08/01/2012)
Hi Guys,
While I have a variety of different brands of dress shirts, I'm curious if anyone has a go to brand. If one really wanted to start a collection of solid quality/fair priced dress shirts, where would you buy them? ...Assuming we all want a good fitting, non boxy, widespread collar.
Brooks Brothers I find to have weird neck sizes. Boss I find to be less quality for more $ just for that European fit.
The one shirt that I feel fits me perfectly is a Canali, 16 34/35, but I got it for 40$ at Bloomingdales down from like $175, and unfortunately I'm not spending that much on a shirt now.
What's your go to brand and price point?
.
Charles Tyrwhitt. Think they have $40 shirt deals (buy 4 for $160 type of things).
Also this should be in the fashion forum
didnt know that forum exists, moved
I second Tyrwhitt...very good quality for the price, and they have a few different fit options.
Well my bran is Marks and Spencer's, the price range always varies depending on the quality of fabric the collar size and several other factors including the design, and one more thing the number of shirts you buy because the store I buy it at is always ready to give me deals maybe because I am a regular there.
Enro dress shirts are good for the money.
What kinds of dress shirts do you wear? (Originally Posted: 01/19/2010)
Want to begin investing in a wardrobe for a FT analyst gig. Likely i'll be rolling biz cas. What are some favorites out there?
What kind of a budget are you on (are you willing to buy a $20 shirt or $200 shirt). There's also plenty of literature on this subject from past posts, so feel free to search.
Look to see when these guys are coming to NYC (or where ever you live), and get yourself some custom tailored shirts from Hong Kong: http://www.maxwellsclothiers.com/
If I recall correctly, it's $200 for 4 shirts, you pick the fabric, collar, cuffs, pocket - and tailor made for your measurements. Free monogram on the cuff. That's a pretty good deal, and it totally eliminates that "pooch" of extra fabric above your belt.
I've got 8 myself, the only drawback is that they wrinkle a lot more easily than the no-wrinkle Brooks Brothers shirts (obviously).
I wouldn't go over $40 per piece for your dress shirts. You can get nice shirts for just $35 per piece.

yea i want to say under $100, preferably bespoke.
I checked out maxwells and got some mixed reviews. Anyone have anything good to say about them?

Dress shirts for ridiculously jacked people? (Originally Posted: 10/22/2013)
I was naturally born fu*king diesel, and I have always had a problem fitting my shoulders built like boulders in shirts, but such is life as 350LB 6'5 beast. Does anyone have any recommendations as to what shirts I should wear? Also, need to make sure its a slim fit to keep my lats from flaring, as I tend to fly away with strong winds.
You can try MTM shirts. I would recommend reading this: http://www.realmenrealstyle.com/tall-muscular-men-clothing/ http://masculine-style.com/dressing-the-muscularman/ http://www.gq.com/style/style-guy/miscellany/200203/body-image
I am 6'5 as well but only 210lbs I can help with hight choice for shirts. It might be tough to find great looking shirts for your weight unless they are tailored to your shoulders.
I hope you get that he is trolling.
Might I suggest this?
Shitt....
Tailor.
Buy a regular fit dress shirt and rip the sleeves off. Don't worry, your boss should be understanding once he sees how good it looks.
Just wrap a white or light blue bed sheet around you.
I laughed out loud
Do you wear a suit most of the time? Have you considered a latex based body paint (obviously in conservative whites and blues)? My serratus is also brocoli so I can barely put my arms down.

This might be my favorite thread of all time.

Dark shirts: DON'T. (Originally Posted: 07/13/2008)
You look like a fucking defendant on Judge Mathis.
Agreed. You don't want to be this guy: http://www.monhaut.com/images/blacksuit.jpg
if you dare wear a dark blue shirt in the summer, beware of the mutli color blue that your backsweat introduces to the back of your shirt.
If you smart enough to wear an undershirt in the summer, disregard this post...but I do love seeing guys with a hypercolor blue shirt stain on his back walking around during lunch time..
Give Mark Klein any of your time/attention: DON'T
Thanks Mark for that insightful piece of information. I'll be sure to go toss out my dark colored shirts because I dare not face redicule in the office or on this site. What a stupid thread and waste of space. If you're at work and see someone in a a dark shirt and have time to actually analyze it and think to yourself something like, "What was he thinking, that's a hideous shirt. Didn't he read this month's edition of Fashion for I-banking?" than you probably aren't working hard enough.
As for undershirts, agreed, good choice regardless of the season (there's a/c inside anyway, right?).
Where do bankers buy undershirts?
The smart ones get them at Hanes.
Polo. Where else? Do you think bankers dare go through a day without having that elegant steed and polo player emblazoned on our attire. Whether you're in the boardroom or on the yacht, you cannot resort to any sort brand purchased by the masses (whether the piece of clothing is visible or not)
Well, I'm not a banker, but I can't imagine my undershirts not being good enough for one (or maybe I can based on some of the things I read on this site). Any department store sells simple white undershirts at reasonable prices.
eBay
just use old white tshirts as undershirts
I stopped wearing undershirts last week after having been pretty religious about it my entire life and let me tell you I feel fucking fantastic.
now i havent worked in ibanking but even at my BB PWM gig there were people who take good note of what youre wearing. one guy came in wearing a white shirt with some very light pattern on it and the other analysts were busting on him, asking him if he was planning on going clubbing later.
i probably dont need to tell you this, assuming you are working in finance, but people in the industry are supposed to have great attention to detail... and i think that follows through in the way you dress as well. a family friend is an executive for a well known consulting firm and did recruiting at harvard business school earlier in his career, and he said that when he interviewed people he would take note of everything from their shoes, to face, to nails (gotta be clean and trim), and everything else about their attire. thats the way it should be, if you ask me.
The importance of showing up to work not looking like a slob, meaning trimmed nails etc isn't exclusive to finance. Though it's worth noting that naturally there will be greater scutiny during an interview. Of course I would never suggest showing up to work not well "put together." However, saying that all dark shirts are a no-go is a gross exageration. FYI, I know and have seen many traders and execs walking around in a variety of colors and shades.
Classic fit dress shirts (Originally Posted: 07/17/2014)
I have a couple Banana Republic shirts, classic fit, which I really like. Are Charles Tyrwhitt's classic fits similar?
dont know the banana republic fit but the charles tyrwhitt classic fit is seriously wide!
Classic fit has a very wide taper and loose fit. I guess you can rock the look if you're physique is similar to Chris Christie, but I'd opt for a more modern tailored or slim fit cut that will complement your body type.
dress shirt brand (biyatch) (Originally Posted: 12/23/2010)
Alright.. I am trying to figure out the brand of shirts that have a vertical tag (of the name) next to the front pocket..
Tried staring at a co-workers man boobs to figure out but started feeling creepy and awkward..
Just ask him where he got his shirt? Lot more normal than staring at his chest and less likely to get your teeth punched into your lungs.
hate a good piece of advice =)
faconnable maybe
thats it.. thanks mav..
