QoS Shirt Alternative?

nms75 · December 2011

Other than an overly expensive TF shirt does anyone know where one can find a good quality alternative (at a reasonable price) for the white shirts DC wore with his suits in QoS? In particular I am looking for a shirt with collars like in the YouTube video below with double cuffs.

Perhaps I should also add I am in the UK so a UK based supplier would be preferred but would consider international sellers also.

I'm not sure how well their collars match the Tom Ford QoS ones, but Charles Tyrwhitt makes inexpensive white slim-fit dress shirts with French cuffs & they're pretty decent quality: http://www.ctshirts.com/men%27s-shirts/men%27s-dress-shirts/White-poplin-tailored-fit-dress-shirt?q=usddefault||FD002WHT|||||1862,||||||||#

Thanks, BLU8!

I have tried these shirts in the past, very good but the collar isn't quite what I am looking for

Much appreciated!

Even though I don't like the brand, Ralph Lauren has the best quality white shirts for the price. Very nice collars. Very accessible on eBay. If you want something more expensive, Zegna (who makes Tom Ford clothes) is the way to go.

Any one of these look like they might work, depending on what weave you're looking for. And they're on sale.

NMS just to let you know that John Lewis sell a range of TM Lewin shirts. So if you go to your local store you can get a better idea. If you buy any then please post up a review.

nms75; that's a 'duke of york' collar that Craig wears in QoS.

As already suggested both TMLewin and CT do such shirts on a budget. I would suggest a White Poplin with french cuffs.

Oh and I'm down Regent Street in central London at the moment and the TM Lewin shop, at 126 Regent St, has a sale on at the moment with everything at least 60% off.

nms75 · December 2011

Cheers guys, really appreociated. I have tried the CT shirts with the DofY collar before, very nice but the ones DC wears seem a little larger to me. The TM Lewin ones do look larger so maybe they are worth investigating.

TM Lewin make top notch shirts, they add all of the extra touches to make it quality. John Francombe is a great creative director. -{

Muchas gracias!

What type of collar does he wear in CR? And does he wear the Duke of York collar with his tuxedo?

Having checked the TM Lewin measurements it seems you need to be rather slim for their slim-fit shirts

Not that I am fat, I have a 34" waist, but there isn't much room in a shirt with my 15.5" collar size and a 16" would be too big for me. Looking at their classic fit there is more than enough room but they have no shirts in the style I want in this fit.

Frustrating!
