Dress Shirts

Knowing you it was probably Affliction or Ed Hardy.

oh no, he's THAT guy?!

If I can use the extra length to safety pin the front of the shirt to the back, between my legs, so it doesn't come untucked, that would be perfect.

Dude, body suits went out when Rachael Ray stopped wearing them a couple years ago. Or they went out in 1996. I can't remember.

I really like the Nordstrom brand shirts, especially their trim or slim fit style. I don't know your body proportions, but I hate when a shirt fits nicely around the shoulders but incredibly baggy around the waist.

With the men's half yearly sale coming up soon, you should be able to get them at a good price.

Nordstrom's Rack is awesome for shirts. All of the brands carried at Nordstroms for less than half the price.

They are a lot longer through the body, for one thing. For someone like me who has an abnormally long torso, that's a big deal. May not matter to RF, though.

Also, now that I am regularly wearing shirts that require tucking, I'm starting to use the front opening of my boxers to avoid a full untuck, with all of the adjusting that goes on with that. When you drink as much coffee as I do, this matters.

Also, I have several of those Nordstrom wrinke-free shirts, and if there's an appreciable difference between those and the version at Costco, I couldn't tell you what it is. Remove the labels and I swear they're pretty much the same shirt.

Costco rules!

Not to get this off track, but I was checking nordstrom.com and saw this shirt on sale: http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/dolcegab...esultback=7411

I think that is the most expensive tshirt i've ever seen, and it's on sale! I paid $40 for a t-shirt once and thought I was being pretty foolish.

Just trying to save you some money. I have a bunch of expensive shirts that are a total pain in the ass and I've pretty much stopped using them completely in favor those Kirkland shirts. Probably just because I'm lazy.

Kirkland brand from Costco. I started buying these instead of Nordstrom. Mostly because they're cheaper and I really don't give a shit anymore.

RF wanting to use twice between cleanings shocked me. Three times blows my mind.

If I'm not buttoning up the collar, the neck doesn't get nearly as dirty. Simple as that. If I don't spill on it, there usually isn't any indication that it's not a first wear. By the third wear it may be a little wrinkled,depending on the type of cotton, so it'll probably be under a sweater or maybe a jacket.

Dude, you live in the land of plenty. You should be hitting up "Last Chance" on a regular basis. Nordstrom shirts for $10. I already posted about this somewhere else, but I even picked up a Thomas Pink (brand new, still with the tags) for $10. That's a $200 shirt.

Yes, Commando, don't even post again until you've rectified this error. Also, you should be set for quality dress shoes for the rest of your life.

And yes, RF, you can definitely get two wears per launder out of a shirt. In the winter when I'm less likely to sweat profusely, I get three wears out of some.

BR represents the sort of style that I am interested in, but not so much the brand. BTW, the shirt I own is an Enro shirt, and not an Enzo. I have no idea if it is a knockoff name trying to pick up some Enzo biz, but it is a very nice shirt (by my standards) that I picked up at a store that specializes in men's fashion.

So, what are some of the brands that you like? Personally, it takes me about twenty minutes to iron a shirt, and I just don't want that to become a part of my life... don't mind touching up, but a full ironing? No thanks. Local cleaners only charge $2.50 for shirts, which seems pretty reasonable.

Whoops, sorry about the Enro. I've never owned one, but I've seen a few. While I'm sure its not garbage, I think you can do better (which is good news!).

My favorite shirt designer is probably Ike Behar. The shirts I have are a bit more traditional than modern/contemporary, however, so that might not be a good place to look.
