Charles tyrwhitt shirts

[andygo]

Got a flyer from them. Any comments on quality, value etc?

[littlegreenfairy]

4 for £70 isn't bad and there are £10 of any purchase flyers around too at the moment. Makes them £15 each which is not bad.

TM Lewin ones do seem a bit better made but much of a muchness.

[Moonhawk]

I have found them to be great quality - lovely fabric. Probably the best shirts I own.

[Astacus]

They are fine. I swapped from Lewins because they iron better and stay crisper longer.

But you get what you pay for in this area (to a certain extent)

Not tried Pink

Usually get a few when a flyer arrives. Lewin ones never fit me properly and always end up looking like I've tried to iron them while wearing them.

Not as good as the ones I had made in Singapore, although easier to iron apparently; having tried a few different brands the Extra Slim seems to fit me just right, even though I'm not exactly slim

[grumbledoak]

My preference at the moment, at 4 for £100 they are good value, and there are always vouchers around. I am considering a mail order purchase right now, but if you've not bought from them before it is worth trying some on as they have three fits, plus neck, and arm measurements to get right.

Go to tk maxx and get simon carter shirts for 20 each. Way better quality and in the proper s/carter stores and house of fraser they retail for 70 to 80 each.

[Podie]

Been buying these for a few years now. Seem OK, and in my experience better than the TM Lewin ones.

[jazzybee]

Pretty much only shirts I wear due to my fat neck and short arms. The non-iron twill shirts are excellent quality for the price. There are occasionally some really nice designs - if you like them, buy them quick as the ones I like sell out quickly. I always have 4 or 5 White Non-Iron Twill shirts and 8-10 other colour or patterned shirts in the wardrobe. I don't like TM Lewin shirts as they don't seem to fit me as well (I am quite short) and don't like the fabric. Only other place I like to buy shirts from is Massimo Dutti.

I switched to CT shirts about 3 years back. I had tried them all and never got 3 months out of them before they looked grubby.

My shirts get a hard life, I travel a lot and wear them for long days often. They always come out of the wash looking crisp and tend to last me around 18 months before they look grubby.

The non-iron truly Never need an iron if you tumble dry and hang them straight away either!

I'm a total convert. Every time they send me a voucher I end up buying more.

[monthefish]

Very good value for money. If you consider the (crap) shirts in the bargain/sale box in Debenhams/John Lewis etc are usually priced around £20 anyway, and you can get the size, style, colour, fit for the same price or less. They also have a 6 month no-quibble return guarnatee, you can't go wrong.

Thinner fabric than TM Lewin.

Thomas Pink is better than both.

Are Thomas Pink shirts not closer to the £100 mark?

This.

Their customer service is very good, too. For that alone, better than TML or Pink.

ETA: They've also plenty of positive comments on here in many other threads, and not all from me.

Me too.
I find Pinks nice, but a bugger to iron.

[ChrisnChris]

I was bought some, they feel like they're made from old sail cloth, much too crunchy.
I don't wear them, they should go to the charity shop.

[LordGrover]

I've found Tyrwhitt formal/office shirts to be superb, though I'll admit I've not tried Lewins or other (perceived) 'upmarket' shirts.
They wash and iron very well and last forever. I have white shirts that are several years old which are still good as new.
I find them a little on the baggy side so buy the extra slim fit - I'm 17" collar with a 42" chest and they fit perfectly.
I'm sure there is better quality out there, but I doubt there is at this price point.

[whatleytom]

Usually buy TM Lewins for work, often have a 5 for £100 deal on too. I find the material can vary quite a bit on them though. The Slim fit Jean Francombe ones seem to fit best.

[Nardies]

Really depends on the individual shirt, some I've bought fit very well and last well some don't, but if they're not good you can send them back with their no quibble guarantee.

[Du1point8]

Their shirts (maybe just the luxury ones) are made in the same factory, one the same line as Burberry shirts, got that info from ex Burberry staff who visited the factory.

This is only in the past 3 months this transition has taken place.

[thismonkeyhere]

Great shirts. Last very well and always look good. I don't buy anything else (for work) - non-iron.
