Charles Tyrwhitt - Sold out but here's an alternative. Shirts at that price point can be found in the SALE section

Definitely agree with your run down and ranking. I've tried all these brands and a bunch of more expensive ones too, and the Charles Tyrwhitt non iron shirts are consistently the best. I have some shirts from them that are 12 years old now and worn a bunch of times and never had an issue with durability on any shirt. And now they have a custom shirt option which is awesome.
Great video. CT is my go-to shirt now. I have donated my Brooks brothers, Ralph Lauren, BR shirts after my first CT purchase.
I have several Charles Tyrwhitt shirts. They're my favorite dress shirt with suits. Hope you're doing great, Ian!
CT is a clear winner! I know they'll see more of my business! Thanks for checking out the video, hope you're doing well too
Great vid, Spier & Mackay and Charles Tyrwhitt are my go to shirts. I've found the S&M contemporary fit and CT slim fit to be comparable in fit .
You are dead on 👍🏻. I’ve been hooked on CT shirts for the past year, just tried SM and purchased 3 on a sale. On one the color bled on first wash, the other broke a button on first wash and the third had no issues. And this was at the dry cleaner. Never had any issues with CT, quality is much nicer right down to the collar stays.
I would recommend Eton, but you will have to pay more for those, the fit and quality are worth it...but that is only my personal opinion. Also may i suggest washing your shirts by hand in cold water, and don't ever put them in the dryer as that's just asking for trouble. Keep up the good work!
Charles Tyrwhitt have become my sole shirt supplier. I'm a good size guy 6'3" 225lbs with a 46" chest and trim waist. Their "extra slim" fits perfect when I want a nice super clean cut look, and the "slim" is nice when I want be a bit more casual, laid-back, and want a tad more room. The only issue I have is a lack of options for darker colors. I like the occasional dark burgundy, navy/blue, grey, purples, or browns. Almost all CT shirts are white, very light blues and violets, or light patterns.
I love your videos. Having an athletic body is hard. You make it quite a bit easier rather than having me do the experiment
Thanks for checking out the vid! yea man I know the struggle, I make myself the guinea pig so you guys can decide if it's a good fit for you
Twillory fit looks best on you... a little too much fabric on the CT and not enough on Spier MacKay! If you buy four Twillory at a time you can get the price down to about $50. I'm not surprised you like CT... I've always felt they're great for bigger guys... I'm not in love with their slim/trim fit.
Ian, great comparison. Definitely do more of these! of the shirts you reviewed, I only have experience w/ Tie Bar and Twillory. I won't be purchasing any more Tie Bar shirts for the exact reasons you ranked them 4th and because they don't make true 33 sleeve. Tie Bar are fantastic affordable workhorse shirts if arms are shorter or longer than 33in and for all body types except up to smaller endomorphs. I love Twillory's Safe Cotton line but you nailed it when you stated that they really need to expand the collar options. A true simi-spread before I consider a re-up (tab and ban would be nice too). I've been following S&M for about 2 yrs and each season their shirts have hit more requirements on my check lists with OTR sizing. (Because they come out with great pieces each season it is very easy to fall into a brand loyalty situation). CT has some great deals constantly and a many size options. Many have said that CT shirts are similar quality of BB regular line with more fit options so probably a great place to order affordable workhorse shirts for those not satisfied w/ Tie Bar fits. Again great review!
Thanks man, I'll give Tie bar another shot, perhaps the chambray makes the standard fit a lil snug. The stretch in the Twillory is super helpful but yea, I got lucky with an oval shaped face to get away with the wide spread collar. I need to check out S&M MTM option to make minor adjustments to theirs OTR. Totally forgot to mention the different sizes of CT,from classic all the way to super slim, definitely cater to all body types
Fit Man Style - No need to go back to the Tie Bar well if they don't fit but for others, it's an affordable option that passes the office dress code. As far as S&M, I need to try their OTR before I go MTM. That OTR price is just too appealing not to try. I think S&M pieces have the most character w/ their designs and materials. The problem I have is that I wait too long and my size ends up out of stock. I guess my size 15.5/33 is not so odd lol.
@@pattgsm gotta pull that rigger while you have the chance, I'll admit S&M makes you admire the fabric a little bit more. Their MTM is next on my hit list
Excellent comparison review! Everything points to Charles Tyrwhitt. Thanks for the vid.
That’s the winner! I’ve bought multiple since then!
Love Charles T. Only shirt I will buy now. Look and feel great. And 3 for 99$. Sometimes 29$ insane prices. Insane value
and they hold up well after dry cleaning, I'll definitely getting more
I’ve just discovered your channel and love the content so far! I agree with you about Charles Tyrwhitt, they provide quality shirts with good fit and at an affordable price.
Have you tried sizing up in a tighter fit ? It would give you more room for your chest while giving a more tailored fit at the waist.
i agree 💯
I was just about to say the same thing. I was actually in Oxford and gotgot a few shirts in a brick-and-mortar store they had there. I typically need an athletic, modern, or classic cut shirt in Calvin Klein or Ralph Lauren, but I could wear a slim in what I usually wear in a classic cut and a half size up in Tyrwhitt's extreme slim, which I was shocked at.
Great comparison my guy. Thanks for the video
Great comparison video. Of the ones you reviewed I only own the Tie Bar shirts in their trim fit and have been happy with them compared to my other Calvin Klein and Kenneth Cole slim fit shirts which actually fit me too lose and the material feels thinner than the Tie Bar.
Thanks for watching! Tie Bar offers good shirts, i'll give their standard fit another chance with another shirt. Haven't had much experience with KC and CK, do you have a much slimmer frame?
Fit Man Style I wear a 42s standard blazer 44s in a slim fit... 34 waist
that was me a while back, now I'm a 44R and 36 waist
Hey Ian, great comparison video man! I'm big Spier fan but do their MTM now so I can get the extra length and touch more in waist from the slim in 16.5 size. Being 6'3 most all shirts not MTM are too short haha
Thanks man! You put me on to S&M! I imagine their MTM would give me to option to do minor changes but I do love their OTR, that price is a steal. Loving their turtlenecks. Knowing that their OTR pants are a lil snug even with their contemporary fit, I'm a little hesitant on their suits if the pants will feel the same.
@@FitManStyle I use them for dress shirts (MTM now is the way to go as you can even ask for them to wash fabric before making so you don't have barely any shrinkage once you wear and wash! Just have to make a note when you order them!
Fit Man Style - piggybacking on everything O.D., stated wrt S&M. Ian Dont be hesitant to try the suits. You can order any suit as separates as long as the sizes are in stock. Just add a comment in the notes. My 42s contemporary suit came w/ 35w trousers standard 6 in drop. For ref., my thigh fluctuates btwn 26-28 in and the trousers fit nicely. A nice hug on the seat, proper rise, tailored but does not hug the thighs or calves, does not swallow my shoes. S&M's has the best fit recommendations of any brand that I've tried on line.
Rick at S&M recently asked SF community what features they would like to see in a high waisted trouser (types of pleats, side adjusters, Calvary twill, etc...). If/when made available you know they are going to go quickly.
@@Ikari777 that's a great tip! I'll be sure to remember that when I order mine
@@pattgsm that's good to know since my thigh is about 26in (measured it in the last video), now I'm more confident in checking the suits out
Why are buttons put between Fabio and Nerd. Why don’t they put the top button in between???? Thanks for the great content
I'm just about to watch the video, haven't started it yet. I'm shirt shopping this week online so this video was very timely for me. I need some basics ( a good white and good blue shirt), and then one with a pattern, possibly a gingham shirt. I have an account with Tailorstore and may measurements are already logged in with them, but I want to see your thoughts on a few of the companies you listed, Ian. I have accounts with two of them; Tie Bar and Twillory....but have not ordered anything from either just yet. Thanks, man. Now I'll run the vid.
Hey Anthony! Hope this video gave you the info you needed to make a good buying decision. Having a solid white and blue are a must. All four are solid brands to check out, of course different body types would favor one over the other
@@FitManStyle Thanks Ian. Yeah....I do have some white shirts and one blue....but MAN, they were cheap ones I bought at Kohls. They're almost 50% poly, plastic collar stays,...and so on. One is a Van Huesen. I need to upgrade those all important shirt/wardrobe staples to a higher quality and better fit. You've got me doing some more searching on the labels you listed. I may ulitmately go with Tailorstore on this one....to get the fit as close as possible, but you really have me looking at these other companies now. I DO APPRECIATE his video, man. THANK YOU!!!!!
You look great in that twillory shirt!
Thank you! Hard to find shirts when you have some muscle.
oh yea, i know that struggle
Hey Ian,...a little off topic for this video,...but I was wondering if you've ever heard of or purchased a pair of shoes from Mezlan. They seem like a large shoe company and prices are somewhat high, actually. For some reason though I have not heard ANY of the style channels mention them. If you know anything about them, and you have a minute, could you post your thoughts on them briefly? Thanks man. Cheers.
GOMAB frat. Great Video
MAB!! I appreciate you checking it out!
The seems like it's hard to find a good dress shirt with a really stiff collar anymore
Charles Tyrwhitt is the closest i've seen so far
The Perky Collar is great for keeping the collar up-right and sharp. I really appreciate mine: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XC8C4XX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Hey nice video man, appreciate the info. For the Charles, white shirt, is it a twill or poplin shirt?
hey thanks for watching! For this CT shirt i believe it was poplin
Nice video! How do the other 3 compare with wrinkles? I recently got a bunch of Charles Thywrit shirts and the fit is great but they wrinkle way to much for a wrinkle free shirt. Their price is hard to beat though.
my experience has taught me all wrinkle free shirt wrinkle to an extent lol Spier and Mackay and Twillory are pretty good and keeping it to a minimum
Fit Man Style thanks I’ll check them out!
Now, recently I've been hearing that Charles Tyrwhitt has gotten much, much worse in so far as quality and durability are concerned. Can anyone elaborate on this?
May be a bit late but I can´t confirm this. To me they are still almost unbeatable when it comes to price-performance-ration.
