I am looking for some nice looking, affordable men's slim fit shirts. Does anyone have any suggestions? Anything would be greatly appreciated.

I really like some of Banana Republic's shirts and like that style of barrel cuff (but wouldn't mind french cuff). I am about a 38R, 24 yr old, and about 165 (lbs). Thank you so much!

I went to Saks off fifth when they had a sale on their $125 (?) dress shirts for $40. It was slim fitting, and, at least for me, their 14.5 inch slim fit shirt was a 95%-99% perfect fit for my 5'8.5", 143 pounds, 36R/36S slightly athletic frame. Fits as well as my MTM dress shirts I got online. By far easily the slimmest off-the-rack shirt I've ever worn.

You cant go wrong with Zara shirts. They fit as slim as barba's sometime.

Not to be a jerk, but the problem with you not wanting to read through 120 pages, and instead posting a new thread about this, essentially means that 1) you're asking us to spoonfeed you information, and 2) more importantly, you're causing some other poor bastard in the future to have to read your thread when he's trying to get information on this. Go read the thread that has already been created and stop creating new threads when the information already exists. Obviously, if you didn't know the thread existed, then it's not entirely your fault, but you're kind of a jerk for cluttering up SF with new threads about slim fitting shirts when there are 100000000 posts already on this. Even though I'm annoyed at you creating a new thread, I'll direct you to Lands End Canvas http://www.styleforum.net/showthread.php?t=149471 The pictures on the website are horrible, but I assure you the fits on their poplins and oxfords are the best for their dollar. You can get much better shirts than LEC, certainly, but not anywhere near the price they charge. Right now poplins are on sale for $17. If you Google around, you'll find a coupon code that gives you 10 dollars off and free shipping on orders over $50. That means it'll be about $13 a poplin. If you don't like them in the end, they let you return any time, and it's ridiculously easy to return (bring it to a Sears, or mail the return back with the pre-paid postage sticker they give you). Go give them a try, they are perfect if you're 38R, 160lbs, and anywhere near 5'10" or so.

Zara or H&M. In fact, I have about 10 H&M shirts for office wear in white, light blue and pink. Slim-fitting, easy-iron, nice soft colors, $15 each. It doesn't get any better than this.

ralph lauren black label is "affordable" at <$100 during end of season sales (week before christmas maybe, definitly after christmas). i get a S/15 and it fits very slim, though the sleeves could be slimmer.
