Fashion posts - dress shirts - Joseph A Bank



Franz,

It's taken me several years, but I've finally figured out what dress shirts I like (although I haven't tried custom-made shirts. yet). If you'd like the benefit of my trials, keep reading. First, I like the wrinkle-free shirts. They look great, they feel great, and they're cheaper (over the long term), than non-wrinkle free ones, especially if you're sending them out for laundry. So far, I've tried the ones from Jos. A Bank, Brooks Brothers, and Nordstrom.

Joseph A. Bank Travel Dress Shirts .

These shirts are surprisingly expensive, compared to Brooks Brothers and Nordstrom. Obviously, you want to try to get them on sale. Sign up for their email blasts, and you can occasionally get them for half off or two for one.

Fit - The fit is ok. They're a little too baggy to look really great.

Collar - Collar is ok. I'd like the the collar to be a little.... I don't know, longer? The collars feel ok on your neck, but just ok.

Fabric - The fabric is pretty durable and it takes awhile before the shirt pits out. Bonus. Unfortunately, the wrinkle-free treatment wears out quicker than the other two. And I've blown out the elbows of a couple of these shirts.

Overall ranking: #3
