#CHARLES TYRWHITT SHIRTS FOR $30 SERIES#

Classic: It’s actually a tailored, slim fit with 3″ lapels and a silhouette resembling SuitSupply’s Napoli fit.I purchased this jacket during one of the end of season sales.Ībout their two jacket fits: Classic and Slim The jacket pictured is a beautiful unlined, unstructured corduroy sport coat in a dark navy. The quality of the unstructured blazers is just as inconsistent as the fit. If in doubt, order two sizes and take advantage of Charles Tyrwhitt’s excellent return policy to return the incorrect size. Unstructured jackets can be inconsistent in sizing. Charles Tyrwhitt offers a classic navy blazer every season, and last season’s navy blazer is regularly offered in the clearance section for $170-$180. They represent a fantastic value, especially during a seasonal sale or with the use of a promotional code. I would compare the jackets favorably to J.Crew, and the quality is visibly higher than Banana Republic. The quality of the half-canvassed jackets is exceptional. The fabric wrinkles easily (indeed…), produces static, and is a lint magnet.ĬT’s sportcoats and blazers can be a bargain for the savvy shopper, and come in two varieties: unstructured or half-canvassed. And steer clear of their non-iron cotton weekend chinos. Only consider if they’re on some super sale or mega clearance. Extra Slim: loose in the waist with a low rise, unfortunately small crotch, and skin-tight legs.Varies from well-tailored to skinny-jean-ball-popping territory Classic: roomy through the bottom, thighs, and calves.That said…Ībout their three pant fits: Classic, Slim, Extra Slim Many are going to find that their sizing is inconsistent.

The quality just doesn’t seem to be that big of a step up either. They’re really expensive, especially when compared to competitors including Banana Republic and J.Crew. The non-iron cotton twill is thicker and warmer than the poplin. Shirts made with these fabrics are consistently high quality, and the non-iron treatment insures that the shirts remain crisp over the course of multiple years of regular wear (while not being super-scratchy like some cheap non-iron shirts). The Suggestion: First time buyers will probably be best served by the 100% non-iron cotton poplin or twill.

Extra Slim: tailored with higher, slimmer armholes.

But even at their 4 for $199 price, they’re an excellent value (yes, they are well worth it at fifty bucks a pop).Ībout their three shirt fits: Classic, Slim, Extra Slim During sales and promotions ( like the one running now), you might be able to get one of their shirts for as cheap as the low to mid $30s. Plus, they’re available in wide range of neck widths (14.5″ – 17.5″) and sleeve lengths (up to 37). The sheer variety of colors, patterns, collar & cuff styles, etc… is mind numbing. Here’s what’s worth it, and perhaps what’s not quite up to snuff, in terms of a Dappered-focused budget.ĬT was built upon the backs (and collars, and sleeves, and cuffs… ) of their shirts. They’re not just a shirt company anymore, and haven’t been for awhile. The reputation for their shirts is positive, but along with expansion in terms of geographical reach, Charles Tyrwhitt has come a long way in terms of the variety of clothing they offer. In the past few years, Charles Tyrwhitt has expanded into the United States with retail locations in New York, D.C., and Chicago, now offer a US-based website and catalog, and regularly offer US-specific seasonal sales and promotions. If you have a suggestion for a store or brand to be explored for an edition of Style Source, send it in here.īased in the U.K., Charles Tyrwhitt is best known for their mail & internet-order shirts. Yet maybe there are a few items that are worth looking for elsewhere. Just because a brand doesn’t make it into the final four of Store Wars, that doesn’t mean they don’t offer a few great options that are worth your consideration.
