TM Lewin - Dress Shirt Sale, $40 ea

[YackoYak]

From what I read online, it seems like some folks over at Styleforum think TM Lewin shirts are a step up to Charles Tyrwhitt. Free UK/US returns. Same deals: £100 / 4 shirts + S/H to US work out to about $40/shirt. Spotted code BUTTONS online for 10% off on top of that (may / may not work).


From the TM Lewin site, it seems like you have a lot of fit options. From slimmest to widest:

John Francomb Classic Fully Fitted < Non-Iron Slim Fit < Windsor Slim Fit < The St.James Slim Fit < Duke Of York Slim Fit < Windsor Regular Fit < The Buckingham Slim Fit < Prince Of Wales Regular Fit


That's a lot of options. I normally buy the Neiman Marcus Trim fit at ~$30 / ea and I'm lookingfor other options in that range. I'm 6'1, 205lbs, and normally wear 16.5 x 35 (41/42 jackets, 35" waist on dress pants).


Anyone have experience?

Well, their size guide is fairly detailed:

I think I will give the fully fitted a try.

Reports on Lewin's superiority to CT are mixed. And Lewin's non-irons are 4 for 140 GBP, while CT is/was 4 for 100 GBP, plus a tie.


Both CT and Lewin have limited sleeve lengths, and tailoring costs a few extra bones. Consider choosing the maker that doesn't require any alteration of the sleeves.
