    I have been part of the CT family for the last 16 years. The quality of their shirts, shoes and tweed Blazer were excellent 👌. No regrets so far and I will always recommend them. Thanks Chris for your excellent review 👍.

    Thank you Chris. I have used CT for several years and am more than happy with their shirts and the different selections available. I like the idea of the customisation for my next order. Kind regards. Russ

    I discovered Charles Tyrwhitt shirts around 4 years ago. I buy of the rack and be extremely pleased with the quality, do not shrink, 100% cotton, easy to iron and the great fit. I like the big variety of fabrics, designs and the possibility to choose your sleeve length. Chris, we seem to have the shorter arms in common. I am 5 feet 10 inches tall and need a 15.5 neck, 33 sleeve length. 34 is already too long. These shirts are the best I could find so far for a day-to-day usage. In the meantime, 80% all of my shirts in usage (around 20 at the time) are from CT. Another 10-12 shirts are in storage for later use. I always try to buy it when they have bundles like 3 shirts for $99. They shipping for such orders to the US is affordable, $15 with tracking, delivered in one week.
    I wear some of their merino sweaters as well. They are so-so in the quality. The cuff seams are a weakness and need some restitching from time to time. Otherwise, they are holding up and can be worn for a couple of years. I will need to replace one or two at the end of this Winter season. Chris, do you have a brand recommendation for thin merino wool sweaters worn over a dress shirt? It can be UK based.

      Hi Kay, lovely to hear from you and glad you enjoyed the video. I'm pleased to hear tyou have come to the same conclusdion as me about the quality and finish of their shirts for the price point they ask. Those slight changes in sleeve length make a world of difference and the fabric choose is good. As for the marino wool jumper (sweater) try John Smedley, another is Woolovers or House of Braur are reaqsonable priced. I'd note that Hawes & Curtis and also Charles Tyrwhitt sell them but I'm not sure about the quality 👍🙂

    Great presentation. I never realised a custom shirt with all those details could be specified, so thanks for the review. I have worn CT shirts over many years, from a classic fit 19.5 down to a 16.5 slim fit to match my fitness improvements. I have found them to be good quality at a reasonable cost and keep coming back to CT for formal shirts. Their stores are great as they enable you to try on 'off the peg' shirts to check fit before purchase. A shame other shirt manufacturers and stores have let their 'quality' slip over the years.

    Excellent content, Chris. I recently purchased one of Charles Tyrwhitt's custom shirts and was amazed at the level of personalising detail available on their website. As shown in this video, the on-screen custom menu options are so easy to use. I experimented with various alternative colours and styles before finally committing to buy. I have yet to come across any other high street shirt supplier that matches the level of customisation offered by Charles Tyrwhitt. As a full bespoke shirt is beyond my budget, I found this alternative very acceptable in terms of both quality and price point. 👍

      Hi there, interesting point 🤔 I would suggest that it would be around the discounted point, the price point without an offer is a little high in price for the quality of the item in my opinion. 👍🙂 But the quality is still reasonable at the discounted price and so I would recommend giving them a look 👍🙂

    I've been a happy CT customer for over 15 years. Quality-wise, they've never failed me. The key thing, for the buyer, is to get what you want at the best price. And that means learning their discounting strategy. If you're not applying an offer code, when checking-out, you've not learnt enough. Another tip: don't chase Avios points, by going through the BA site. You can't get Avios points there AND use an offer-code - and it's the latter that is more valuable.

    I just bought that exact same color/pattern shirt, through their custom shop for about $100 USD. This is my second shirt from them. I like the non iron fabric feel, and wrinkle resistance. I recommend them. However, a couple of things that I have found. 1) Its semi custom. Actual custom would be made to measure. You can't choose shoulder, chest, waist size, nor length. Due to having a tall muscular frame I am unable yet to get a good fit without my tailor doing some work on them. About $10 USD for my tailor to do this. 2) The monogramming is a very large font, too bold. 3) In the USA (or perhaps UK/EU) you may wish to consider ordering a true custom shirt from a online Company called "Proper Cloth" it will run about $110-120 USD. It may take you 1-2 times to get your fit perfected but they will remake it for you for free.

      @TheBritishDapper  14 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา +1

      Hi there, you raise some interesting points, I interperated the term custom as customisation of ready to wear shirts, rather than the next level up - made to measure (where to send your measurement in) and then the final level being bespoke (where you are measured and fitted in person) for a shirt. But I get what you mean, it can be difficult to get that ready fsntastic fit without going made to measure of bespoke. Personnally when it comes to monogramming (having your name put on the shirt) it reminds me of having your name tags in your clothes whilst at school. I have seen people wear shirts with their monogrammes on the shirt cuffs - in away of advertising they can affort a higher end shirt, but it smacks of tackiness to me, but each to their own. The font is quite large and the selection of font types is restricted also, but again it is not a bespoke service. Proper cloth appears to be a similar price point, and sounds like a good company, but I have no personal experince of their product 👍🙂

    I bought a flannel shirt from CT a year ago. I was a little disappointed as the fabric was thinner than I expected for a flannel. I did buy a 3/4ths overcoat which I guess some call a car coat from them for my birthday & it was pretty good. Felt like good quality wool & although it came with plastic buttons (not made to measure so couldn't change that) I liked it

    • @TheBritishDapper
      @TheBritishDapper  13 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      Hi Sean, I'm interest to know is the thinner flannel shirt different to one previously brought from CT or are you measuring the thickness again other brands? The coat sound like a reasonable quality for this day and age, shame about the plastic buttons, but you could have the buttons changed at a small cost by a seamstress or even some laudrettes prove a tailoring service for button replacements or you could even replace them yourself if you wanted, it something to consider. In truth not many people now-a-days would notice the difference as you walked past them - but I get what you mean about quality and expectation 👍Lovely to hear from you Sean and thanks for your valued comments🙂

    Hi Chris, some years ago I found myself becoming frustrated at the price and quality of shirts from mens outfitters. They were either made from man made fabric ar mixtures thereof, not very well cut and, of course, cheap, or on the other hand I could get higher quality shirts of pure cotton, linen and well made but very expensive if buying in quantity. Then I discovered Tyrwhitts while browsing online. I found Tyrwhitts to be quite well made, good collars for a tie and the double cuff option an attractive offer.
    While they are not top of the range they are a safe bet when the need arises for buying a number of shirts for office siut wear and not too demanding on the pocket.

A reasonable price for the level of quality I have regularly recieved from them over the years👍🙂

    As a guy who had always suffered with the sizing of off the rack dress shirts in the pre-internet days, over the years I was propelled to order multiple rounds of bespoke shirts from a brick and mortar shirt maker which were just amazing. I have also gone through a pile of fairly expensive MTM quality shirts from Brooks Brothers.
    Regarding Charles Tyrwhitt I can say I have a high degree of satisfaction and have been a multiple repeat customer over the last eight years. I tried two dress shirts and have ten casual in standard sizes (not the mtm "custom'"models), and am waiting for my newest batch of four to arrive this very week. Are they on the level of bespoke? - of course not even close. Are they as high quality as Brooks Brothers? No, but they're way cheaper and actually fit me better. Tyrwhitt shirts are pretty good for a consumer level shirt. Here's why I like to buy and wear them:
    1. They have an array of standard sizing options that work pretty decently for me. Not perfectly, but not bad either. I'm sure the sizing customization shown in this video would be even better.
    2. They look fairly good with decent construction, and have a great choice in fabrics, colors, styles, options etc.
    3. While the fabric is definitely on the more 'economical' side, it is decent enough to hold up and look good through many wears, washes and ironing's, i.e. color fast, shape retention, stitching. I'm still regularly wearing those from eight years ago. Only lost 1 button.
    4. The price and value is terrific. Four decent looking and fitting shirts that you can use for years for around 200 or less sounds good.
    Honestly, if these shirts had lasted only half the time I would still buy them again. I think Charles Tyrwhitt serves its market segment very well. Merry Christmas to all.
