Don't get me wrong I absolutely love Arnys and Charvet, but...... my wallet is not big enough to drop that kind of coin. I'm not particularly looking for bespoke shirts, OTR/RTW is fine and I'm looking to spend maybe 200-300 euros a shirt. Also I'm looking for something unique to Paris, I'm going there next month and looking for some unique finds. Could anyone help me out?

Try "Courtot", rue de Rennes or "Lucca", bvd des batignolles.
Both are bespoke shirt makers. Starting price should be around 200 €

Although I have no experience with them, you might want to check out Edouard Courtot, which seems to be the choice of smart Parisians (who leave the better known names to the tourists). Just the shop alone is worth a visit, as it is in a beautiful 1950s time warp

Maison Courtot
13 Rue de Rennes
75006 Paris

Here is an enormously long thread about the firm and it's product:

Get Google Chrome as a browser.

For any page coming up in a foreign language, chrome offers you an instant translation: This page is in French, Japanese, Italian whatever.....do you want it translated. Click "yes" and also "always translate French into English".

The translation might not have literary merits, but is perfectly comprehensible.
