Nothing beats Brooks Brothers no-iron shirts. A great value when they run their 4 for $199 sale. 


Some truth to that but I didn't regret switching to Charles Tyrwitt several years ago and wasn't disappointed.  Lower cost than even the BB sales and I've been really happy with their quality, similar minimal care requirements, and better fit: off their slim fit shirts I just needed to get the sleeves tailored as my arms are apparently an awkward length (though admittedly I have a tendency to roll up my sleeves both literally and figuratively when on a customer site anyway).

 

BB also has the annoying habit of putting logos on their shirts, and I have always hated that even when I was around 12 years old.   True if it's under a jacket who cares, but about the only thing I would prefer to take off than my jacket is my shoes... and one I can do in a corporate environment nearly anywhere these days and the other, not so much Smiley Happy.

 


Good to know. I've always seen ads for their shirts and wondered. Though I like a subtle logo.

 

Like you, I have about 10x as many clothes as I need now that I'm full time WFH. Plus starting to spend winters in FL again where 4 winter coats, and about two dozen sweatshirts and even shoes that aren't flip flops will all be rarely needed. LOL.

I was a longtime customer on the east coast, but their downtown LA store was really underwhelming on selection and service.

 

In addition to WFH and a trend toward casual, they had much of their customer base retire without finding a new one among younger people.

 

Did anyone buy one of those non-medical masks that had been producing in their final months?
