Shtooyot. Never happens. I'll take 20 at 3 for $100 less 15%.

Even in the outlet the "special" price is 3 for $169.
You'll get 15% off that, so that brings it down to $48/shirt.

Just wait for any sale (20%, 30%, or 40%) and you'll do better than the 15%. And the 15% doesn't work together with any sale. Although there is a 10% printable coupon or AAA coupon book coupon that is stackable. I picked up a few shirts last month like that for $35 each.

doesn't say that its valid on top of sale price $:-\$

Not sure what you're trying to say here.
My point is that the 15% off corp discount is nearly 100% useless.

So does paul frederick have wrinkle free or not?

Like I said, Paul Frederick does carry Non-Iron shirts.

Their regularly priced at $69 but they have sales 2 for $70.

Charles Tyrwhitt hardly has any white shirts

You only need one. They're all the same anyway

Yes, I only need one, but it is not the they have (I.E Pointy collar, french cuff, white and white...)

Interesting point the OP made, I do find that Jos. A. Bank shirts have very long sleeves. What's up with that? I have pretty long arms, I got the 34 length sleeve, and it's still a bit long on me! I'm debating if I should try the 33 inch, but there's a voice in my brain that says that'll never fit me.

Do the PF wrinkle-free shirts ever go for more than 20% off? 20 percent off 53 (when you buy three) equals about 42 dollars - not as bad as the regular 69!

dans fan · « **Reply #27 on:** August 15, 2011, 11:36:47 AM »

just to tell you my ex. (although others might differ) yes jos bank has quite long sleeves aside for the fact that their shirts are thin and see thru, dont look that gr8 after a wash ( dont care what cr says its a lie). lands end got body but its a limited lifetime pf rips and tears very quickly from my ex bb was the best . i have not tried nordstrom

dans fan · « **Reply #28 on:** August 15, 2011, 11:38:25 AM »

forgot to add pf could be worth to try bc if you ant happy you can get a refund i know someone who returned his ripped shirt. unlike bb that has a terrible return policy

Nitantnel · « **Reply #29 on:** August 15, 2011, 11:49:07 AM »

BB runs promo's for 25-40 percent off, adding a gift card from PJ brings the price down another 19 percent (That is if ia promo can be applied to a gift card). Thus, the 88 dollar shirt will cost 36.08.

That's pretty good! (if it actually works out...)

There are different levels of jos a bank shirts. Which ones are you referring to?
I don't think Consumer Reports has incentive to lie.

My experiences:

Nordstrom (Wrinkle Free): Collar shape seemed awkward. No spread collar available and while it isn't super baggy there is no option for trim fit. Cloth quality was excellent. Wrinkle free and good. - Bought one and I plan to return it.

Paul Fredrick (Non wrinkle free): Bought 3 rounds. Looks really nice and not see through yet still light. Plenty of options for the perfect style and fit. The big downside is quality, they don't last all that long (est. 40 washes) and seem to shrink. (I wear a 15.5-16 neck but my old PF 16s don't button closed - I ordered some 16.5's and they are snug) - I like them for an open button look but am still searching for a more reliable shirt for use with a tie.

Brooks Brothers - never owned - waiting for a deal. I have to say that I have seen some people who looked very sharply dressed and I asked them what shirt they were wearing they always answered BB. Not sure if they were referring to Wrinkle free or not.

Pretty thorough, thanks.

I'm considering trying the Charles Tyrwhitt shirts with the current $39.50 + Free Shipping offer.

Anyone have any advice?

Should I go for wrinkle free if I probably will send to cleaners almost always?
Is tailored fit gonna look super tight? (I like fitted and find PF fitted to be not fitted enough - but I don't want it to look like someone painted it on me)
Thinking of trying the business casual shirt (inside of cuff has blue pattern) - any bad experiences with it?

Thanks.

All my shirts go to the cleaner, and I try to get as many wrinkle free as I can (in the last 1 1/2 yrs, all my shirts are CT), as they wear better during the day and still look good at the end of the day (even a day that included two flights).

The slim fit CT shirts are still pretty roomy, even though they are slimmer than the classic fit. Never ordered the 'Tailored' fit, as the fabric choices are usually more limited. I would suspect it is similar to the Paul Frederick slim fit -- which are pretty tight fitting.

I lost track of how many Paul Fredrick shirts ripped on me, although I must admit that they are nice shirts.
I feel that they are more comfortable than BB (at least for me)

Nordstrom wrinkle free are quite nice and comfortable although they are more sheer than the others

Did you send them back? Did they replace?

Does CT handle returns well?

with PF I just threw them out except for one which i sent back and they sent me a new one (they supplied a pre-paid shipping label and I was even able to get a different size)

Never had CT

ordered pf and wasn't too impressed, plan on returning them. personally I find kirkland shirts from costco to be fantastic (preferably made in indonesia) and cheap

psedge · « **Reply #39 on:** February 19, 2012, 06:27:00 AM »

Costco has wrinkle fee shirts with life time warranty
Company is Kirkland and costs about 18 dollars most times the only sizes they have is from 16&up
