Charles Tyrwhitt Premium?

[Nataku]

Well, I just bought a really nice looking Charles Tyrwhitt Premium Limited Edition red multi-striped shirt off eBay for $26. I'm familliar with the Charles Tyrwhitt Classic shirts, as I have about 6 or so in my regular roation...but am rather curious about this "Limited Edition Premium" shirt. What makes them better than the normal classic shirts? How much more did they sell for?

Any help would be appreciated!

Never heard of it, though that doesn't mean it doesn't exist... Show us the label when the shirt comes. $26 isn't bad for a CT shirt.

Yeah, I really like Charles Tyrwhitt shirts, so I put in $26. Usually I'm cheap and fo for a max of $15! Oh well. Here's a link so you all can see what the label looks like and such:

Looks like a trendier stripe in the fabric.

Ah, I see. It's a medium-grade CT shirt in a limited-edition print/color. The premiums fall somewhere between the classics and the Sea Islands in terms of fabric, etc. For 26 bucks, if you like the shirt, you did fine. It's hard to pick up a CT shirt from CT for less.

Yeah, I really like the stripe pattern on this - it'll make a great addition to my wardrobe. Why would someone put such a nice shirt on a WIRE hanger though?!?

$26 is a great price for that shirt. Maybe I gotta give it a try too.
