Dress Shirt Connoisseur

[Paul4Style]

So, i'm building my dress shirt collection and have most of my shirts made to measure, because I like to have my shirts fit a certain way. I found a company that custom make my shirts so well, that i'm currently refreshing old styles that I love and having them cloned into new and exciting fabrics. Now that they cut my shirt perfectly, I'm experimenting with a few premium fabrics. Does anyone know the difference between Pima cotton, (Supima cotton)...

I've never ordered/worn Charles Tyrwhitt dress shirts. Was thinking about ordering some. Mostly to wear with suits or under sweater. Any thoughts? Anyone have a good or (yikes) a bad experience? Any advice much appreciated!

When I see people in their teens and 20s, I tend to see them with their top buttons fastened without a tie. I see this on everything from nice french cuff dress shirts, to casual button-downs, to polos. Now, I know that you are technically are not supposed to do that, but I've also seen in TV shows, movies, pictures, and clothing ads from the 30s to the 50s with men in polos, button downs, and dress shirts with the top button fastened. So does...

Looking for dress shirt recommendations for a tall athletic frame. I'm 6' 1" 205# and usually wear a (16", 36") and have found most shirts are a bit tight and construct movement once I start moving my arms or bending over. Thanks!

Hey Guys!

I have three Thomas Mason Dress shirts in size medium that do not fit me perfectly. I have worn them 1-2 times but have dry-cleaned them and they show absolutely no sign of any wear. One is the blue royal oxford, another the paradise blue stripe, and finally a subtle check pattern. I have attached the links to the pictures on the J.Crew site (the check pattern is no longer sold) but more than happy to send any other pictures...

I have some new CT dress shirts that need to be tailored. I am afraid that if I have the shirts tailored first and they happen to shrink after washing them for the first time, I am screwed.

If I cold wash and hang dry, I should be okay? In the absence of heat, are CT shirts known to shrink just by washing/hang drying?

Thanks

I apologize if this brand has already been mentioned. I realize it won't impress the aficionados and suit "elitists", but I've purchased 2 of these shirts and I absolutely love them. They're definitely not for everyone, but here's why I'll buy more: I'm a sucker for spread collar and french cuffs, not to mention the old school contrasting-collar. Most of their shirts are made this way, but I've seen a few that had the club-collar style...

Hi all,

I'm considering purchasing shirts from T.M. Lewin or Charles Tyrwhitt online. I really need the standard white and blue button downs. My question is, since I live in Florida, which of the many different weaves do I pick? Which is the least see through, least likely to show sweat?

I've seen:

• Egyptian cotton
• Twill
• Poplin
• Herringbone
• Pinpoint
• "Crisp dress shirt"

[WillMHines]

Though it seems easy enough, I've been having trouble finding a white dress shirt with a button down collar for less than $75. Ideally it would be one with neck and sleeve measurements rather than S, M, L. I'm open to buying online or instore. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your help,
Will

First of all, I just want to say how thrilled I am to be a part of the Dappered community! My name is Jeffrey Zhang, and I'm the founder of the recently launched menswear retailer, Spectre & Co. We specialize in affordable, high-quality dress shirts. Our demographic is the budget and fashion conscious man (hello, Dappered!) that isn't always willing to pay $150 (or $100, or even $75 for that matter) for a well-made dress shirt. Our prices range...

Wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions on places for off the rack fitted shirts in Canada and the US. I have always had a preference for the Banana Republic ones and also the Stafford ones from JC Penny unfortunately when ever I go now their selection is lacking in the more common sizes and I think the quality has gone down significantly.

Far as I can tell, Dappered is the best in class for pointing to deals on nice men's clothing. But not every deal around is posted, and understandably so. Not all deals are front page worthy. But I've discovered I've missed lots of the Bonobos $X for $2X deals, and probably many other sorts of deals. Post the so-so or niche deals here as well as the great ones.


This includes any deals or sales you see around the net on nice clothes....
