Staple White FC Shirt?

[Brianpore]

Looking for the "best" staple white FC dress shirt. I bought the standard Brooks Brothers 14.5/32 Slim Fit shirt and the shirt seemed to be of a thinner material then there other standard Slim Fit shirts. Also maybe because I'm skinny, the cuffs seemed to be HUGE on me and engulfed my wrist. Being that I have not really worn FC shirts before, is that how they should fit (will take a pic tonight and post it).

Any opinions on a good quality under $150? FC Slim 18-20" (pit-pit) dress shirt? Thanks!

Also, whats the thoughts on a spared collar vs point collar?

Dependent on your stage of bolemia I would go with a Polo Regent in the custom fit if you can find one. I just got another for ~$40 and it is awesome sauce.

Seems like the cuff of the BB shirt is too big for your wrist. The cuff of a french cuff or button cuff shirt should be tight enough such that it does not slide over your wrist. If this is not the case your wrist is too thin for the standard cuffsize of an RTW shirt and you should consider MTM/bespoke.

Thanks for the quick responses, is the cuff something a tailor can "fix"? Need to get one for a wedding (as I just got awesome cufflinks) the last weekend in June so MTM might be out of the question by then.

Try www.tmlewin.co.uk. The slim fit should work for you. I typically size down 1/2" on the collar.

I can't see how this can be fixed since it would require moving the holes for the cufflinks or replacing the cuff (the latter might be possible if you had the correct shirt fabric, which is of course not likely)
