Charles tyrwhitt for shirts

like

Key question: will you ever need to wear you shirts with jacket & tie? If yes, you need a collar that’s comfortable but not so loose that it’s sloppy-looking, and sleeves that show a little bit of cuff outside your jacket (think James Bond in a tuxedo)

Brands like Uniqlo, J Crew, and Banana Republic try to simplify inventory management by offering only a handful of sizes (S/M/L, with some Tall variants thrown.) if you’re lucky enough to be the body double of a guy they had in mind when they designed their sizing, congratulations! However, it’s much more likely that you will end up with something that won’t fit well.

For better fit, you want a brand that offers collars in 1/2” increments, and sleeves in 1” increments, that’s cut for a young athletic guy, not a fat, middle-aged dad-body

I struggled with this exact problem when I started my consulting career at Faneuil Hall in Boston back in the day. After building technology for retailers in my last corporate job, I decided we need something radically different, so I’m bootstrapping www.wardrobeessentialist.com to make shopping for clothes as easy as booking a flight on Kayak: find your best value in minutes.

Would love to get your feedback

Bonobos (the Jetsetter specifically) is much more comfortable than Charles Tyrwhitt in my opinion, a little more expensive but I hate putting on the monkey-suit just a little less in the morning.

Uniqlo is a pretty good option for smaller frames

Banana republic outlets

Charles Tyrwhitt is the top-performing brand on our site, based on great value, and 4 different fits, including Super Slim Fit introduced earlier this year. You should also consider their neighbor in Jermyn St in London: T.M. Lewin invented the button-up shirt in 1898, and has a Super Fitted cut that’s great for athletic builds.

One you may not have considered: Nordstrom has a private label line with great value and an Extra Trim option. For easy shopping, you can buy online and pick up/try on at their store

Bonobos also does a great job with trim fits and interesting designs, at a higher price point

Bonobos does a great job with their fabrics. At CT, you can sometimes find premium fabrics with 100% Egyptian at much lower prices than Bonobos.

If you’ve done any exercise that’s developed your upper body, you may find that Bonobos Standard is too tight through the chest. It’s about the same sizing as Brooks Brothers Milano. You may need to pick a brand that’s got your size in mind

President 1 dropping all the helpful commentary!
