The Perfect Dress Shirts are on Sale

[MRM]

There have been a few threads discussing the best dress and business casual shirts. My strong preference if for Brooks Brothers' slim (Regent) fit non-iron Oxford. The come in four cuts (regular, slim, extra slim large) and they fit to the precise inch, not 33/34 like most brands. A 34 inch sleeve is a 34 inch sleeve, a 16 inch neck is precisely a 16 inch neck. In my humble opinion if you measure yourself correctly and order the right fit, they are as good as custom, with the quality that can only be matched by a large scale premium retailer.

They are on sale now only now through the 27th where if you order four shirts they are 40 percent off plus another 15 percent off. End price is about $46 a shirt, which is almost half off. It's a tremendous deal. If you're looking for dress or causal button shirts, now is the time to get them.

Thanks for the head's up MRM!

If you don't mind me adding to your thread....if anyone is looking for a casual thermal top......I have been wearing one of these lately and it's the most comfy l/s casual shirt I think I've ever worn. It is NOT super heavy material that feels "too thick"...the feel is very light, which I prefer than some of the "thicker" type materials in a l/s shirt:

(From Kohls) Men's G.H. Bass Classic-Fit Mountain Fleece Soft-Touch Crewneck Top



On sale now for $22.49/ ea.

Pile on, Baz! We might as well expand the thread to include all recommendations for good quality clothes on limited time post-Christmas sales. Keep them coming!

BB is my go to dress shirt too.

Very similar shirt on sake at Banana Republic. I grabbed a small stack for my upcoming roadshow. Wore and washed one. It came out perfect from the dryer. $30 ea.

Love the inventor of the wrinkle free cloth.

Awesome Tab’s! I’ll take 8 point collar slim fits in solid white, a half dozen white button downs, a half dozen each of button down and point collar basic blues, a half dozen ecru, three point collar and three button down. Add in a dozen mixed patterns whites, either point colllars or button down. All in a precise 16 36. No noticeable wear, because I like my shirts nice and I keep them forever so they need to be like new when I buy them. Since you get them at $5 a shirt, I’ll give you a generous 100% markup and pay you ten bucks per shirt. You’ll pick up shipping, of course, since BB eats shipping for me and we want to keep it apples to apples. It only took me 10 minutes on the web sore to order brand new shirts in the exact sizes, styles and colors I wanted from the official web site. I should have asked you in the beginning and saved all that time and effort. I could have spent that time looking for shirts on income-producing files, but since you’re supplying an infinity of like new BB shirts in my exact sizes and styles, I was wasting mytime! Send them all in one package and save on shipping. I don’t meant to gouge you.

All good to know, but since I retired I wear my tee shirts inside out half the time and don’t bother matching my socks.

Well ain't you the little lord Fauntroy, I ain't at your beck and call. You are not special...you pay the freight just like all the other saps.

No, his point was that if you're serious about $5 thrift store shirts, you are ignoring opportunity cost of spending hours and weeks of legwork going back and forth finding the needle in the haystack (size, color, fit, condition, etc) In the end, you are paying $100's of dollars for that "$5" shirt.

Don’t forget that he is picking up those Dragon assed jeans on the same trip so his opportunity cost is further reduced!

You havn't been to the Thrifts in this town...you can find Brioni and Zegna clothing, Tom Ford Croc shoes, Par West bespoke Alligator golf shoes, Mantellassi shoes among a host of others...Now that level of stuff is harder to find but it does show up. The lessor stuff like BB etc show up regularly. Bally, Salvatore Ferragamo, Bruno Magli, AE have become more or less ohhhhh welll..

I have so many pairs of high end shirts, shoes. jackets and pants that I don't want anymore.. I found 12 pairs of Zanella Italian wool slacks that fit on one rack for $6 ea...they start at 300 a pair..I recently found a Yves St Laurent mens lamb skin trench coat for $5...that retails out for 7K.

I have 1000 high end Italian ties...Brioni, Zegna, Vuitton, Kitton, Stefano Richi...Vitali Pancaldi, Hermes, Armani, Tom Ford, RL Purple Label, even a Lamborghini tie avg price about $2.65. I found 50 Zenga and Brioni ties on one rack..

I found a large painting by a French Artist by the name of Marchand for 129...auction records indicate in the hood of 5K. I have found quite a bit of heavy French copper cookware & La Creuset cast iron ...All Clad is another ohhh well brand...


I really like Sutor Mantellassi shoes, the construction is second to none... Bally Scribes, John McAfee, vintage American Florsheim Imperials, American Classic Foot Joy both golf and street...Vtg American Cole Haan, Hannover Cordovan ..and French Shriner...

I have been buying that BB regent shirt for a few years now. I used to go with the classic JW Nordstrom label dress shirt, but the Regent just fits me better. And there is a BB across the street from my office.

I need to replace a couple suits and I'm considering BB. My dad used to buy them there and they always seemed great quality, but just a little too conservative. Maybe that has changed...or I've just gotten older. Any opinion on BB suits?
