Recommend me a good shirt brand

[berin]

I’ve been buying Thomas Pink shirts for business for years, usually in transit at T5 which saves me from going to normal shops, but the quality has gone downhill and they last only around a year now before the colour fades, or the cuffs/collars wear

I think the Pink shirts were somewhere around £60-£80, so that’s about the price mark.

I’ve tried Charles Tyrwhitt and the other one (Lewin?), well priced but couldn’t get a decent fit and they only lasted a few washes anyway.

What do the sartorial experts recommend?

This guy didn’t like Pink or Lewin either. I bet they fair better in the tumble drier though.

I think you need to speak to your laundry department, I've been wearing some CT shirts for several years, must've washed some forty times.

If you tuck the collar inside the shirt and the cuffs back into the sleeves for washing it helps reduce wear to those areas.

I like the Harvie and Hudson slim shirts. Sale ones are in your budget. Nordstrom's luxury ones are nice if you're ever in the USA.

Try Van Laack

I ended up switching from CT to Emmett. In my view a much higher quality than CT. I tended to wait until they had a sale before buying.

[andy tims]

I think CT are alright for the price.

Providing you're not a fashion label tragic, try M&S.

Suit Supply - if the fit works, the quality is fantastic.

Eton or Eterna
Van Laack for “special”
Eternas website and on line service is excellent

I'll second the Eton recommendation

Agreed, their top range is very good.

[MTM84]

Hawes and Curtis every time for me.

I’ve got a couple of Eterna, they do seem quite good.

Can’t go wrong with Ralph Lauren IMHO, I have a few that I’ve worn regularly for 3 years now with very minimal fading, no shrinking and they’re even not that bad to iron!!

[mondie]

Saville Row is good enough for me. The fit is consistent and they wear extremely well.

[junglebert]

I’m always happy with Ralph Lauren, often good deals on their website too.

[Devonian]

Me too for Ralph Lauren. Also got a couple of great Gant shirts.

[mart broad]

RL as much as i like the brand do not cut it for me in formal shirts try

Hilditch and Key or Hawes and Curtis

Yup. Have some of their shirts and they have been excellent quality. Even their 'casual' shirts are good. Not good if you need a 'name' though!

Brooks Brothers - in my opinion knock spots off Pink, CT, Lewin, etc.

I really like Brooks Brothers, I used to buy all my shirts, online, in their annual sale. But I haven't bought from them since I moved back to the UK. I didn't realise they had a presence this side of the pond.

Made to measure for fit. Oxford cotton for longevity. About £100 a piece as a guide price. So much better that an off the peg shirt.

Can't see that £100 is in the OP's £60-80 budget.

[Templogin]

Budgets are always flexible!

[stefmcd]

Skopes are best value for me.

Bought 2 Balmain shirts in Debenhams today for £30 each. Seems to be a general sale. They're well over £100 retail. Might be worth a visit to your local.

Have you tried Olymp? Made in Europe and they do a few with longer sleeves for taller men.

I've had a few Harvie & Hudson, Coles and Joseph Turner shirts from this Ebay seller:

All with very pleasing results.

What are these "shirts" of which you speak?

So they should be, I can get 4 CT shirts for the price of a Brooks Brothers, ok so maybe just the three if buying in their sale!

[TimeThoughts]

I'm almost all CT shirts these days, I think they are best balance of price/quality. The classic fit from that company is nice and loose which I prefer.

[tom_0787]

Check out Eton.
I have more than I am willing to admit to and I absolutely love them.

[thedontheniro]

Eton, very comfortable and stylish

Agree with this, I have lewin shirts, both regular and easy iron for the past 3 years in regular rotation and they are still in top condition.

The easy iron in particular is amazing, just shake it and hang it proberly when wet and it doesn't need ironing. This quality has not diminished with age or number of washes.

[A.Pottinger]

Smyth & Gibson provide excellent shirts; on sale, they may fit your budget, too.
Most are UK made, which is unusual these days (even among Jermyn Street 'brands' except when custom-made).
S&G's website (and sale now on) is: https://smythandgibson.com

Cheerio,

AP.

£100 for mtm sounds worth it, but I haven’t seen any for less than £200 plus, so any pointers on where would be very welcome

For £100 you're likely to be getting MTO rather than MTM but if the quality is good that's still worth it.
