Just looking to order a couple of pairs of Charles Tyrwhitt shoe trees and I happened to mention this to a work colleague. Colleague then informs me his sister works for CT. He forwarded me a link his sister had sent through for 3 shirts for £49 from their website, which I have now ordered. so, basically, are there shirts any good?
Not to run the thread away from shoes, but the shirts are good, I think.
I buy non-iron extra slim fit. Wash and wear well.
Me too! I also have a 5 pot turbo...

Are you me?
Strangely, I too have a 5 pot turbo.....

Thanks. smile Makes a change from my crepe soled desert boots (blue, brown and grey) and yet another addition to the smart casual wardrobe.

Just bought some Nano Protector for them (as recommended on another forum I frequent).

I am not normally a fan of these but that colour would possibly tempt me. I also think they look great. Do you mind me asking the naff question?

Very positive response. Must have been a good choice. smile

Goodyear welted sole on this one too.

Interestingly I found these somewhat unexpectedly in the jumble sale of TK Maxx (Thurrock branch). Random find, £90. They had them in a couple of other sizes too I noticed. RRP for similar online seems in the region of £160, so a reasonable saving imo.

I'm sure plenty on here would refer to shopping at TK Maxx a bit 'council' however I think there are some decent items there if you know what you're looking for. Depend if fishing through 80% rubbish is worth the saving.

I don't do bland coloured shoes outside of office shoes. They are about as subtle as my motorbike boots.

They are from their 2013 range and you can't buy them anymore unless you are lucky enough to find somewhere selling off the odd sizes or a second

They are labelled 'Andrew' inside.

As mentioned, lucky TK Maxx find. If you have a local one, perhaps worth a look?

Worth checking online too.

Loake appeared every now and then in my local but never my size, got a lovely pair online though.

What is the condition like then?

I wouldn't be brave / comfortable enough to go pre-owned - especially with shoes!
