It seems that Lewin's products are less expensive than the other brands.
But are they less quality? They have their higher model line fully tailored shirts for 3/$155
which is basically 25% less brook brothers retail price @ 3/$199...

Consensus has generally been that they're all roughly equal, and all worse than Brooks Brothers in other identical threads. Pink's high price is not because of superior quality. People generally recommend Lewin of the 3 because of cost economy and a better slim fit than Tyrwhitt (which granted Tyrwhitt probably has rectified with their "tailored" line).

Usually someone will suggest that the real winner is H&K on sale, or T&A, or H&H, or N&L, or some such maker that isn't one of those 3.

Do a search and you can find this discussed ad nauseam.

All 3 are very comparable to each other: machine made, full fit, plastic buttons, average fabrics. You could do worse but you can also do a lot better.

Tyrwhitt are better quality than Lewin - which have a propensity to shrink & collars that can bobble and disintegrate like kleenex with the lightest of stubble brushes. Pink are miles better but not value for money.

Wow. I thought that it was just me -- I was really disappointed when I saw my TM Lewin collars start to fuzz up.

I have 10 Lewins, and 1 has met it's fate this way. It was one of the 'Luxury' fabric shirts. I suspect that the 'Lewin 100' ones are less prone to this, but I don't like the weight as much. I think their failure rate is acceptable given they're only 23 odd GBP each on sale.
