Good deals on linen shirts?

[anon]

I was planning on buying a $90 Brooks Brothers BD linen shirt. Are there any other quality linen shirts out there for a much better price?

I'm particularly looking for a BD collar in a solid pastel color, easily available, and slim-fit.

I've been looking for the same myself

Are you in NYC? I think you could pay a little more and order from CEGO.

nope, not from NYC and the point is to spend less, not more

wonder if we should do a group buy and get the 3 for $200 deal instead of paying $90 each.

You could try Jantzen. They charge HKD 500 (around $65) for Irish Linen, and you can spec it any way you want.

I just ordered a Summer Sampler from CEGO. Some L/Cblend, some 100%.... I about to move to Hong Kong and buying from NY... Surely customs will think it is a mistake.

Where are the $65 irish linen shirts? I see $89/$99 in executive collection and $155 in the Monti Prince Rose collection. I have never done MTM so I'm not sure I want to order a linen shirt as my first.

Check buying and selling. A number of sellers have posted great Truzzi shirts for less than $90. I think mack has some shirts made by the same factory. I've seen them and they are very nice. If I could find my skinny size, I'd be all over them.

http://www.jantzentailor.com/irishlinen.htm Ordering a linen shirt is no different from ordering other kinds of shirts. But yes, there's a little bit of trial and error ordering online from an overseas vendor like Jantzen.

I have linen/cotton shirts (cooler than pure linen) for $105.
