Shirts

Primark, clothes look shiit on me even posh ones.

I 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.

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.

Where do you get decent shirts at a decent price?

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

[woohoo]

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.

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

TM Lewin

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
