They are good shirts when on sale. The traditional fit is for fat guys, but they also have a couple fits like extra slim, slim, etc. The regular bb shirts are a step above the bb outlet stuff. I have outlet shirts and regular line stuff.

I have some BB shirts that visit the dry cleaner weekly and have held up great for a few years. Once they get bad, I replace them.

I've had bad experiences with the online tailors. I've had some comically bad fits sent from them. Sizing seems really inconsistent.

I personally think Thrwitt is a step below a bb shirt. They might make a years worth of regular wear but they dont last as long as bb shirts.

BB no-iron are great shirts and that’s their standard price on sale ( they go on sale often)

Looked at the deals on the Charles Trywhitt shirts and it’s not bad. 4 for $150. Comparable to BB?

I bought a couple - I don't think so.
And the designs looked like they were from the 1940s (once I opened them).

What's wrong with the 1940s?

I’ve lost some weight and hate my BB traditional fit. Have some Of the slimmer fit but not my favorite. I got a David Donahue trim fit and it fits like a glove and is comfortable.

Best fitting off the rack shirt I've found, and usually cheaper than BB at Nordstrom Rack.

I get my suits at Perlis, but they have never been able to convert me over to their custom shirts, though not for lack of trying

They have 4 different fits including a slim and extra slim fit.

Their slim fit is still baggy in the arms, at least for me, I’ve got long skinny arms and am stocky in the midsection. (Working on that)

I think they fit me better but the material is not much different.

CT is worse than BB imo. Shirts feel like cardboard and have some weird UK designs like really large cuffs (not French cuffs)

I tried the Charles Tyrwitt a few years back. Returned them all. Fabric and cut both sucked.
