| English: TM Lewin in Fish Street Hill (Photo credit: Wikipedia) |
"Competitive online sales policies (Lewin almost always has promotions, e.g. 4 shirts for 100 £) are serious assets to attract those who refuse to fall between the hands of low-quality makers. Nevertheless, I fell that only one label is acceptable in this price range, despite faltering quality due to massive production outsourcing (“English shirt makers since 1850” no means anything: all these products are made very far from the City).
MY RECOMMENDATION: TM LEWIN (30£ regular priced shirt)
- Very wide choice of colour and fabric
- Collars range from full Windsor to Duke of York and Prince of Wales (one for everyone) with removable collar stays
- Impeccable and swift delivery service
- Constant promotions (now: 19£ each!!)
TM LEWIN is a good compromise if you do not want to invest too much in a shirt. Despite strictly acceptable quality and debatable durability (the shirt won’t be as crisp after ten washes or so), prices defeat all competition.
NO: PINK and CHARLES TYRWHITT
Price and selection offered by these famous British shirt makers compare to TM LEWIN, but I think their cuts are MUCH too wide (almost parachutes at CT) and therefore not a good choice for an elegant gent mindful of shirt fit. Other than that, these labels remain respectable.
NOT TRIED: Hawes and Curtis (same price range)
