They fell apart, shrunk, or are generally not good value for money?
I had never bought anything from them until last week. I purchased two shirts. They fit perfectly before washing, and still fit adequately afterwards, but have shrunk a smidgen. I've also noticed that because of the 'stretch cotton' some of my jumpers shed whereas it never happens on other shirts. Oh well. Perhaps a lesson learnt. |

You can get express shirts for under 25 bucks each when they have their 30 off 75 coupons (which they have all the time). The feel of the fabric isn't soft at all but I don't know what you expect from a 25 dollar shirt.
For those who have tried the various brands, how does the fit of H&M, Zara, and BB extra slim fit compare to express? Quality issues aside, express has been the best OTR fit for me I've found so far. |

Benetton often has good sales, thus you can pick up a shirt for around $30 - $40, and they are definitely slim-fit.

They shrink more than normal in the wash. Theyre cut too short relative to body size -- meant for mall kids to wear untucked They STAIN. Noticeably in the collar and pit area... very high occurance.. BB Extra Slim is similar in fit but worlds apart in quality | |

I'd rather have a Brookers Brothers shirt, especially if there's a three for $150 offer, but I'm quite particular in my shirts (no pockets, logos, button collars). I'd buy a few of their extra slim shirts just as soon as they've got one that fits that description. Perhaps that'll coincide with a greater range of colors as well.

The Express slim shirts are too narrow in the shoulders and not cut long enough for me.
Does H&M have casual slim shirts? I didn't see any. |

Hey Guys
Any guidance for me? I like the slim fits, but I also like shirts with no pockets and non- button down AND prefer buttons to cuff links... I ordered a batch of Charles Tyrwhitt slim fits, but despite the neck size being right on (16 1/2) the shoulder seam hit too high on the clavicle, and my normal sleeve length (34) was too short. I read on the forum that the C-T slims are narrow in the shoulder and I am broad in the shoulders... Apart from the odd Boss etc shirt at Saks or Nieman, I am really at a loss about where to find the spread collar, no pocket, broad shoulder slim fit sans french cuffs....sounds like I need to go custom? |

Bump on this question. Any really skinny dudes as tall as I am and with wide shoulders? I just want some casual shirts, plaid would be great.

h&m has a line called 'easy iron' that comes in ten or so solid colours, cost CAN$25, are slim fit, no button down, no pockets, don't shrink, and are truly easy iron if you don't stuff too many into washer and dryer. all i iron is collar, cuffs and sometimes the front panel.
these are cheaply but fairly well made, some have lasted me for a couple of years now. i especially like the light and dark grey ones. |

Hello all.
I usually wear slim fit medium, the length is good but it is baggy. I am thin, I measured my waist at the smallest point a few days ago and it was 25.5". I was going to measure my shoulders but I can't find my measuring tape. But medium usually fits me well except for the bagginess, and I am a bit over six foot with shoes on. Where is the best place to get a shirt for me that is not so baggy? |

H&M's non-iron shirts are poor in quality. Try the folded "premium" shirts, for the same fit, but with better fabric.

Can anyone comment on the true differences in measurement between the Ralph Lauren Slim Custom-Fit Solid Poplin shirts and regular sizing?
How long are the sleeves? how much slimmer throught the chest and waist are they? I have to wear an XL if regular sized to get a 34-36 sleeve, but they are just huge and billowy at the waist. I'd like to order a slim L or XL if needed. The website's size charts don't include slim and the people on the phone are clueless. link- http://www.ralphlauren.com/product/i...tedColor=Black |
