mail order mens dress shirts ?

[AngryScientist]

from who are you guys ordering dress shirts these days?

i'm talking basic white, fitted collared dress shirts. i prefer they not be tooo expensive, because white dress shirts really dont last long in my experience. i work in NYC and party hard and often. every saturday morning i drop off a bag of dress shirts at the local cleaner. if they can get the blood, red wine and whiskey stains out of the shirts and press them, so be it - otherwise they go to the bin.

currently i get shirts on a combination of ordering from a handful of places online as well as what i haphazardly purchase at brick and mortar locations.

i'd ideally like to find a place that i know my size and can order a few shirts at a time whenever i need to.

most days these are worn under a sport coat, no tie.

i have a typical cyclist build; 5-5 about 135#

who's your go-to?

There's always sales.
One of them (forget which) has an extra slim cut that is the bees knees.
I usually get between 4 & 6 once a year, depending on sales and how recently I've put my elbow through an older one.

Proper Cloth. The materials are top notch and I appreciate their methods for getting your fit on the money.

I've used Paul Fredrick for quite some time. They handle my orangutan arms off the rack and the slim cut works for a (my) cyclist build. Yes, they wear out, but the prices, on sale, are reasonable. I do keep a few Brooks Brothers for the really important meetings. Shipping is not ultra fast, but they are reliable in my experience.

Lands End

They make nice fitted shirts, from cheap broadcloth to Supima.
I get their no-iron versions.
Reasonably priced, well made and long wearing. I'm satisfied.

[AngryScientist]

agreed on Lands End. I have quite a few of their shirt and have been happy with them as well.

I have mixed feelings on Proper Cloth. Really liked the first few but the fit on the more recent ones is not the same (and I did not change the measurements at all), and the change is not for the good.

I'm with Ronnie asJos. A. Bank still makes shirts with exact sleeve and neck dimensions with a slim and trim cut available. Watch their website for sales as they often sell their signature series for around $25-30.

Combatant Gentlemen. Good but not great, plenty good enough for the office. Maybe not Wall Street good, but plenty good enough for this dick.

Are these MUSA or made in china? For some reason I thought I had read that Proper Cloth makes them in NJ.

[AngryScientist]

good question.

been using a lot of TM Lewin myself. big fan.

i think the key is having a whole bunch of shirts so the rotation can be longer between shirts, and it's easier to purge out the oldest and bring new ones in.

That is what I do. A mix of must-iron and non-iron so my skin does not get too irritated from wearing the non-irons too many days in a row and I have enough when the cleaner ruins them.

Malaysia I believe. +1 on the reco for Proper Cloth for me.

I have about 12 of them now, and it took two to get the fit right.

But now as I start to see my favorite old Brook's shirts die off I place a replacement order for some PC shirts.

Great source for linen and cotton/linen too.

I've purchased from many, had others make them. I'll throw another nod in for Brooks Bro's. Shirts well made, nice collars that stay where they're supposed to, and the slim fit works for me. I'm not skinny, but I hate bulky shirts when I sit down. Oh, and I think the price is very fair.

CT here also, 6'6", 185, 37 sleeve. The slim fit and extra slim fit me very well.

checking in since i'm wearing one of the TM Lewin shirts today. I wound up getting 4 shirts, two "fitted" and two "super fitted" to check the fit. I like them, pretty decent quality, delivered correctly and quickly, and fit well, in both styles. long term durabilty has yet to be be seen, but i really dont expect dress shirts to last very long in the service i use them. count me as a fan.
