Have you tried Primark?

You missed "quality". HTHBIDI

A Chester Barrie shirt I once bought from House of Fraser had buttons with Richard James Savile Row etched into them. I guess they are made in the same factory then!

Simon Carter and Chester Barrie are same stable, that's for definite.

Chester Barrie for me through House Of Fraser. Cutaway collar and single or double cuff.

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

Could be some bargains to be had at Austin Reed as they enter administration. Both shirts I've had from them have been decent, but they're over-priced compared to TM Lewin and CT:

'A statement from the administrators blamed a "challenging" retail market and cash flow difficulties.'

A statement from a CUK forumista blamed uncompetitive prices.

TM Lewin too common (in that too many people have them).

Looks as close to a custom fit you can get

I think Boris is being asked why he wears it to the left.

Get a cheap flight to HKG. Go to Sams Tailors. Buy many shirts and suits. Have a holiday with a tailor made wardrobe for less than an off the peg one.

Surely you trust Boris Johnson?

He will as he is jealous of you. Did you mention that you are fat too? How do you manage the situation below?

I use to tell girls who would look at my tight shirt that I was just a chunky monkey who was more full of chunky monkey loving

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

What was wrong with them? I have been buying from Savile Row for close on 10 years, and have never had an issue with them.

I like a breast pocket with single cuff and find that their customisation is reasonable. They are not £80 shirts but more than adequate.

I wear a 16.5 / 17" collar, slim fit and the fit is very good, imho.

I am not a feckin' hipster.

I cant wait for Dim Prawn to come along with a "Look at me" thread cause I have mentioned I am tall

Charles Tyrwhitt for me. I bought 8 of their Non-iron shirts and they have great quality and fit. I am tall and the shirts I get usually leave them becoming untucked as most clothes are designed for average height.

I did try the M&S 2in longer range but it didn't fit me in the sleave length.

What would MF do?

Anther TM here. Lucky enough to have a factory outlet near me (Cheshire Oaks, where there's a Jaeger outlet also). When measured for my suit I got measured for shirts also.The TM the label tells you the neck size (as you'd expect) and the arm length, so as good as a tailored one if you like the cut.
