Originally posted by Chuck View PostI used to wear Thomas Pink shirts, the quality was always good. Then I think they moved all their production to somewhere like Vietnam and the quality collapsed. I'm not paying over £70 for a shirt that is made in a third world sweat shop.
Now I tend to stick to TM Lewin, where you get four shirts for £100 and the quality is very good for the price.The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment

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

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.Comment

+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 shirtsHow fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't thinkComment

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.Comment

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.Comment
