      Now I tend to stick to TM Lewin, where you get four shirts for £100 and the quality is very good for the price.
      That's what killed M&S off. Started having stuff made in the Philippines and brought themselves down to Littlewoods/BHS/C&A level - that's based on a rant from my mum to customer services back in the day.

        I generally go with TM Lewin 4 for £90 but wondering if there is someone better to go. Obviously you can get shirts much cheaper but I do like getting decent quality

          And that when it all went t*ts up, when they lost sight of their core market and then decided to mug everyone off.
          Their jumpers were made by Jaeger, back in the day, regardless of them having an M&S label.

            I had a look at CT but looked very similar to TM Lewin. Worth giving it a go I guess.

            Like double cuff but I'm not senior enough to have to wear them. And I roll my sleeves up all the time.

              +1 for TM Lewin 4 @ £90 is hard to beat - especially when you can get the extra sleeve length for online ordering.
              Bought on the understanding they won't last forever - but once the collars start to fray due to a Desperate Dan stubble I cut the sleeves down and use them for summer DIY shirts
              How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

                Always found TM Lewin to be a bit crap. But that could be because the sizes are not great for me. Material seemed a bit thick and low quality.

                I'm bought a nice shirt from Hugo Boss, good fit, £70. I used an online retailer in Belgium (you give your sizes and they fit to measure) but buggered if I can remember the name. Think it was suggested to me on another thread a while back.

                  Double roll up nicely though.

                  Personally I have mine made for me by a nice little company in Slovakia.

                  Best quality, nice designs, cost me about £20 a pop when I buy a few at a time.
                  I'm a smug bastard.

                    You are a Director of MyCo aren't you? You can't get any more senior than that

                      Bought a couple from a branch of TM a few weeks ago.

                      100% two-fold cotton, button cuff .. but even though they have the 'Established 1898, Jermyn Street London' main label they also have a tiny label inside near the spare buttons .. Made in Vietnam ..aaah
