    By default they come with plastic stiffeners in the collar, but spend the extra few quid and get some proper metal ones, just remember to take them out when you wash them!
    Pink shirts are without doubt the worst to iron that I've ever come across - professional laundering if you go that way.
    Lewins are alright, inexpensive and plenty of options to get a decent fit.

    I really like these, though some of them are somewhat...flamboyant. https://www.duchamplondon.com/

            I bought a few white shirts from M&S and one blue shirt they are pretty good IMO.

            I tried buying some shirts from savile row and I had to send them all back as they were rubbish.

            I mostly keep my eye out for stuff on ebay now. I'm going for the rich eccentric that likes rooting around in bins.

            I'm gonna give TM Lewin a try next time after reading this. I really like the thicker white shirts that you can get but I can never find any that have a decent collar, they all look gash like you're some kind of vampire with a stupidly high collar.

              I got these as well and very happy. White shirts were a heavy material with a modern collar so very pleased. I get all my shirts from there now but the choice can be a little limiting if you want something a little different.

                I gave iTailor a go off the back of this thread, they had some offer on so a tailored, customised shirt ended up something like £25 including p&p - think the shirt was only £18 or so.

                Pretty impressed, the only error is one that I made - I asked for quite a short shirt as I want one I don't tuck in, and should've been more cautious. I also measured myself pre-Christmas so need to wait a month until I can wear it with confidence
