MDC 5,977 Posted February 12, 2020 Three questions: 1. What’s your size? 2. Do you have a preferred brand? 3. Do you have an ideal price point? 15.5 34/35. I have a few brands I like but Lauren, Eagle or Club Room are the ones but most often. I only buy on sale but most often looking at $30-40. Just making conversation on a slow Wednesday.

Patriotsfatboy1 1,432 Posted February 12, 2020 I just bought a couple of suits and got some new shirts at the same time. So, they measured me. They had me at 17, 32-33. I hate the sleeves being too short and the neck too tight, so I feel more comfortable with 17.5, 34-35. I have several that I have purchased with those measurements and they are decent, so long as I get a tapered/athletic fit, so that they are not so big in the waist. I buy Stafford and Van Heussen generally, but I have others that are slightly different. I will spend between $25-40 per, but most of the time I spend closer to $25-30 each.

Dizkneelande 853 Posted February 12, 2020 +2 for Brooks Brothers. They have the best shirts. Most others burn my nipples if i'm not wearing a wife beater or t-shirt. 16.5 - 33 I have a Brooks Brothers outlet near me and I sometimes find them at places like Marshalls and TJ Max.

The main exception is when I'm doing anything active. I can't have my junk flopping around and getting banged up so I wear boxer briefs to keep it bottled up.

KayJay1971 238 Posted February 12, 2020 I am one of the lucky ones as well. I wear jeans and a polo shirt to work every day. If we are going out on the weekends I will wear a button up shirt though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Love Brooks Brothers. Have one at the outlets we go to. I don’t wear shirt and tie often though. Still, I’m addicted to going and getting stuff from there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jerryskids 5,415 Posted February 12, 2020 1. 15.5 - 33. 2. I'm pretty thin (5'11, 160-165) and my goto shirt is Banana Republic, Medium, Slim fit. I also bought a Brooks Brothers and Jos A Banks each over the holidays, both fit in the arms and neck but are a little large in the body for my taste. I did also buy two BB suits (40, Regent fit) that fit really well. 3. I bought 4 BR shirts over the holidays because they were bigly on sale, in the $20s I think, some maybe in the teens. I don't typically pay more than $40 but I don't have a hard cutoff. If we see a shirt that my wife thinks will look good on me, I'll pay more. Also the BB suits were 2 for 1 at an outlet store, I forget how much but pretty cheap for BBs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I still have a handful of Brooks Brothers shirts I bought back in the 90’s that are still in good shape. A good quality shirt should last more than a couple years unless you’re really hard on them.

Made the mistake of buying some online back in 2010-2012 (can’t remember exact year I just know it was around then). Shirts felt stiff and didn’t fit right despite being the correct size I normally buy. $500 worth of shirts I returned and just went to the store Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Intense Observer 344 Posted February 13, 2020 17/34 for dress or L for the casual button ups Brooks Brothers Outlet 3/$170 I know the outlet store shirts are not the same quality as the mall store shirts but they look good and fit right. Usually buy twice a year when they have the holiday weekend "sales", that keeps a fresh rotation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
