They send me thick catalogs every couple months, never bought from them. 39.99 for a non iron slim fit dress shirt? Worth a try i spose.

Depends on which series you are talking about. I personally don't like a British type of shirt, but their quality has a definite range in quality. I would not put them with BB though.

I rape CT on this deal every few months for some french cuff dress shirts. I love their shirts. You can also customize the fit so you're not buying a 34/35 length, you can buy a 34 or 35 inch length, etc.

With the catalog deals I've ordered two separate two shirts and a necktie packages for $75 shipped. That's like a sore dick - you can't beat it.

Yes. I have about 8 of them as my work shirts. I usually get the twill or similar fabric because I like a thicker shirt. Also, get the slim fit

Are the fits of CT and BB equivalent? I wear the BB slim fit. Wondering if I should get the regular size CT or the slim fit.

Get the slim in CT. They fit a tad slimmer in the chest but have a slightly roomier collar. Also the collar on CT>>>>>>BB

ETA I put in some weight and the collar on my BB shirts are too tight. The CT collar is perfect for me in my current state

I would not either. I would put them above BB. I wear CT and Ledbury almost exclusively. BB has had a continuous drop in quality over the past 10 years, and their styling, although better recently, is almost nonexistent.

This. Compare wearing a sport coat or blazer, without a tie, between CT and BB. BB's collars are not crafted well.

This. I don't get the constant BB love on here. I think most of their stuff is really overpriced.

Saw this deal in SkyMall on my flight back from the Super Bowl. I was intrigued. May have to jump in too.

I snagged 6 non-iron shirts and 2 ties for $300 when they had their last big deal. I love their shirts...check out TM Lewin, too.

I use to wear nothing but BB dress shirts. I was also curious and tried CT around 4 years ago. I quit Brooks and never looked back. They feel like better quality and have held up much longer than my old BB shirts. I buy their ties too. Good stuff.

Brooks Brothers is on par with Eagle Non Iron shirts, and they were manufactured in the same factory for a long time.

CT is a much better quality and really the best bang for your buck.

There it is!!! The old sales guy at Macy's was correct. Do you have a link for this?

Just bought the max of 5 for 39.99 with a free tie. We'll see.

Any similar good deals for nice pants? Could use a couple more pairs of flat front dress pants.

You're not going to get the same price range, but I think the quality equivalent would be Bonobos.

You can get them in the $60-75 range on sale sometimes. Incotex pants sometimes fall to the $90-100 range, and of course you could look at Brooks Brothers or Banana Republic, etc. Ralph Lauren Green Label can be found in the $60 range and I find them to be pretty decent as well.

If you need something that's actually in the $39 price range, I'd suggest these as a pretty good alternative.
