I've had a lot of Brooks Brothers and Charles Tyrwhitt shirts over the past 10 years, and I'd have to say that my experience would put Charles Tyrwhitt above Brooks Brothers based on durability and the appearance of the weave/patterns. I think they go above and beyond based on the price.

I just recently switched my standard business casual shirt collection from Bugatchi to Eton - mainly because Eton is one of the very few affordable (though pricey) brands that are not Made in China. They're Made in Romania, so relatively affordable for European-made clothing. I admit - Bugatchi shirts have never failed me, and I love the selection and design, fit and feel. I just can't support companies that manufacture in China, if I have another option (I'm not getting rid of my iPhone).

Woodies shirt fit well... but the fabric was disappointing. No stretch and just OK with non-wrinkle. Since this video was published they've introduced a new variation of their performance shirt. It would be in my TOP 5 now... still not quite as good as Mizzen+Main or Truwear, but the excellent made-to-fit sizing puts them high on my lift. I plan to do an update to this video in the next year.

Most shirt makers across the spectrum (from Van Heusen on the low end, to Eton on the high-end) offer non-wrinkle. Some do a much better job than others. If you travel for business (particularly in places like Europe where there aren’t readily available irons in hotel rooms) having a non-wrinkle shirt is essential. A good non-wrinkle shirt… and especially a good performance shirt… offers a clean, crisp look… rarely (if ever) requires ironing… and is also very comfortable. I stand by my recommendations in the video. Get yourself a Truwear, Mizzen+Main, Buttercloth, Eton, or Twillory. In my opinion, any of them would be a step up from an old school Brooks Brothers shirt.

I’ve shopped at Men’s Wearhouse many times throughout the years. I’ve had better luck with their suits and sports jackets. It’s not that their shirts are bad quality… I think they are very comparable to Dillards Gold Label or Jos. A. Banks. Unfortunately, in that $30-$50 off-the-rack range that you find in the stores, you typically don’t get many performance features. I like a shirt with some good stretch, superb non-iron performance…. For just a little bit more money… you can get a better shirt that’s so much more comfortable and enjoyable to wear (such as Twillory, mizzen+main, or Truwear.

Since publishing this video last year, I’ve switched almost entirely to performance dress shirts… the comfort and stretch is what I prefer.

I'm an Untuckit fan because they're perfect for my work attire (nice jeans and an untucked button down) and they double as a nicer going out shirt. I think some of their new shirts are much better than the older ones. I haven't had any of the issues you mentioned about the quality, but I'm also not paying attention to things like button quality as much. I've also never bought one for $99. I usually get them for around $60-80 which is pretty good for what they are I think. I have a few Charles Tyrwhitt and they wrinkle so badly and I'm not a huge fan of their fit, but other than that they feel pretty solid (not sure if they really should be dry cleaned instead). Thanks for the video!
@bradball
@bradball Жыл бұрын
Thanks for your comment. We will probably have to agree to disagree with Untuckit. I"ve just found their quality underwhelming, particularly with so many good alternatives. Twillory, Truewear, Mizzen+Main, Woodies... all seem to be better constructed... and many now allow you to select if you want a shorter cut to accommodate the untucked look. A lot of better options in the same general price range as Untuckit. I agree with you with regards to Charles Tyrwhitt, their non-iron performance is poor. If I were to remake this video, I would be more harsh on them. They have a good name and decent quality... I think they're missing a big opportunity by not creating a better non-iron shirt with a little bit of performance stretch.

In ETON, you could have picked a smaller fit, as they have 4 different ones. Your shirt is a bit too big for you. Also: always make sure you don't have pleats in the fabric at the front above the belt: move excess fabric to the back - it looks better. Just an idea.

Thanks for your comment. Your points are well taken... in the case of the Eton shirt, part of the difficulty is the neck size needs to accomodate for a tie - therefore I needed to size up. Best solution would be for me to lose about 30 pounds. I have another Eton that used to fit terrific until I gained some weight. They are stellar shirts... some of very best in my opinion. I just need to lay off the calories!

Hawes and Curtis… are they good?
@bradball
@bradball Жыл бұрын
I have not owned a Hawes and Curtis shirt. It’s a brand that I need to try (I plan to do another shirt review video next year). My understanding is that they offer high quality shirts, perhaps similar (or slightly better) than Brooks Brothers or Paul Fredrick, but not quite as nice as Eton. I will say, I’m increasingly wearing performance dress shirts (about 80 % of the time). Mizzen + Main has become my go to brand since this video was published last year (I think they were my second highest rated dress shirt). The comfort level and breathability with a performance dress shirt really can’t matched. The appearance is almost indistinguishable from regular dress shirts. Brands like Charles Tyrwhitt, Paul Fredrick, Pink, Hawes and Curtis… they still don’t produce a performance dress shirt. Some brands like Brooks Brothers and Eton are starting to offer them. I personally think most would be happier with a performance shirt compared to a traditional dress shirt. If you haven’t yet… I’d recommend trying one.

I wish you had included in your review exact sleeve length. Too long a sleeve looks terrible. Buttoning the second button for the "shorter" length is too tight and bunches the sleeve looking bad.

@bradball 8 ай бұрын
I’m a 34/35. I’ve found sleeve lengths can vary drastically… most of the shirt makers are true to size… some miss badly. I always prefer a slightly longer shirt and I can get my tailor to adjust if necessary.

Non of these shirts are the best except Kiton. Eton is good and comfortable but not the best and very overpriced. If you compare with German Van Laack that is cheaper and more comfortable than Eton. Broke Brothers is very law quality. Italian Boggi is much better than Broke Brothers. The best shirts are Borelli, Battistoni, Emma Willis, Ermenegildo Zegna, Canali, Finamore.... Charles Tyrwitt I want to buy soon.

Maserati and Rolls Royce may be the best luxury cars, but not everyone can drive them. As stated in this video, my focus was not to review shirts on the very low-end or high-end of the spectrum. Generally, I’ve found the best shirts for everyday wear are the performance shirts that are comfortable and offer some amount of stretch.

Twillory and Bonobos pops up often. My experience, Twillory wins. You'll realize after your first wash, the Twillory holds up much better. Bonobos reminds me of a better fitting Express dress shirt. Eeeek. 😢 Moreover, wish some of the companies would offer number sizing vs the standard s, m, l.

You missed the best shirtmakers, which might also be the best value for money since they last much longer than the cheap ones; Finamore, Borrelli and 100 Hands. Eton can be OK but they're not very transparent on the fabric used.

Woodies came very close. I like my Woodies shirt and I think that most people would be happy with the quality and workmanship. Price-for-the-money was one consideration... Woodies shirts rarely go on sale. Also, I had high expectations for the performance aspect... and found that Woodies didn't have much stretch and didn't quite perform as well as some other shirts with non-wrinkle. Fit and overall quailty... Woodies is a good shirt... if you don't mind paying over $100+.

Eton is not a recommendation. Why? Buttons are thick, limited choice of collars, collars get distorted through washing and/or ironing, materials way too thick! Eton has only a limited choice in comfort fit as opposed to slim fit.

Best dress shirt is Brooks Brothers traditional fit
@bradball
@bradball 8 ай бұрын
It’s a good shirt… probably not a great shirt IMHO. For a traditional shirt, Eton outclasses Brooks Brothers albeit for considerably more $$$. These days, I find that performance shirts are so much more comfortable and versatile than traditional shirts from legacy shirt makers such as Brooks Brothers. Although… my understanding is that Brooks Brothers now has a performance shirt… I may have to give it a try.
