I just got back from dropping $140.00 at my tailor to have RTW shirts altered-- granted, this isnt a princely sum, but $20.00 per shirt is enough to be irritating.

I am a pretty straight forward 15/32, 38 chest and slim to average build.

I would greatly appreciate some suggestions on $100.00-ish shirt options. Im just looking for white, classic (moderately spread) collar, barrel and french cuff shirts-- preferably without a pocket.

MOP buttons would, of course be a plus.


Any thoughts on options?

Prayer.

Or you could increase your price somewhat to at least $150-$175 per.

Ermenegildo Zegna makes great shirts, and I believe many of the "Zegna" dress shirts sell at this price point.

No Zegna shirt sold in the US is going to fit this guy. There is a whole pinned thread on this topic, and yes, it is worth reading the whole thing.
