Canadian retailer Holt-Renfrew is offering MTM shirts for $100 from March 12 to March 21. See details here.

Before anyone gets too excited, read the fine print.

ONLY 1 SHIRT @ $100 PER ORDER. The rest are $150/sh.

 

[LaoHu]

Good catch. I overlooked it in my haste. Thank you.

Didn't it also say that not all shirt materials would be available at that price?

Regardless has anyone used this service? Good? Bad?

 

[Recoil]

Yes, I'd like to hear a review, too. At $150 they are definitely less of a deal but a plain white MTM shirt for $113 tax-in and no need for alterations is a good deal.

Generally the price is supposed to go DOWN when you buy in bulk. What morons thought this up?

Typical of Holts really.

It's not that stupid actually.
The no. 1 reservations against MTM is that you can't try it on. So they'll let you get a 'trial' shirt at a reduced price. Once you get the shirt, you'll be in a better position to judge whether it's worth the full price or not.

My neck and arms are easy to fit, it's the body that I really have problems with. I like shirts SLIM, so I wonder if they'll let me return it if it's not right? I'm really considering this.

Did this work out for anyone?

I went and looked at the options for 10 minutes, fabric selection was poor but I found a few decent swatches, their "medium spread" collar was more like a point and their pointed collar was more like Joe Pesci and Ray Liota a la Goodfellas so I figured I'd stick with my usual spread collar. However, no one acknowledged me the entire time so I left. I forgot what it was like to shop at Holts. LOL.

Interesting I might drop down and see what they have, I'm just beginning to build my wardrobe so I figure $100 isn't too much to be spending on a decent shirt

I've done it at Harry Rosen, and I think they both use Coppley.

The experience was great and the shirts came out to specification. Way better than my bespoke shirt experience at Harry's.

Holt use Shirtfit

I have no experience with Holt MTM, but I am kind of interested in the result.

BB also has a MTM shirt for around $175 I think but I was told they are negotiable for larger orders. Has anyone tried either or both with some opinion?

I took the plunge on a powder blue, spread collar shirt (not bad for a $100). I was told it will take 6 weeks, and will post a review then.

And fyi, the SA basically said the promotion is a loss leader to get people in the store. I can believe that since I almost bought a zegna tie while they were measuring me up for the shirt.
