Default Long Sleeve Button Up Shirt

So I have decided I would like to get a couple of shirts of this style (whatever it is called):

http://www.buckle.com/7-diamonds-daw...sku-4045690400

I was going to order two shirts from Buckle, but shipping and duty is $70 - and I'd like to find another alternative.

Anyone have a recommendation on where in Calgary I could buy a shirt like the one in the link for less than $150?

Oh don't do that. I know it seems like it looks cool, but don't.

He would be a hit at Boy's Town.

I hate to say it, but Le chateau actually has toned down versions of shirts such as these. obviously the quality isn't stellar, but by the time the shirt breaks down, it'll be out of style anyways. I think they're like $35-$45 at chateau, and they come in better colors. you may have to dig through a lot of crap/shiny shirts, but they do have them

Try Supreme's downtown. They've got some seriously awesome shirts in there in that style. Doubt you'd get a Biedermann (in house designer) for sub $150, but they may have some other shirts.

Try this place.

They're in Inglewood. They seem to have some interesting stuff there and the staff are very helpful and friendly. Never bought anything from there, though because it's just not my style.

If there was any risk, it's already been taken.


Back on topic. The shirt has a "toned-down" "Brett Wilson" look to it.

What is the hip view on Robert Graham shirts? Extra points for using the word "sartorial".

I will refrain from suggesting he buy a wizard's robe.

Also, thought you got the name wrong.

What do you mean shirts of that style?
Is it the bits of flowery patterns you're looking for or just button up shirts?

If it's the former, Robert Graham as mentioned is a good option.
I wouldn't personally recommend or wear these, but they seem to accomplish what you're looking for.

And the brand you've posted in the first post I've seen at Winners before, along with many other shirts like this.

Sartorially speaking, plus I'm 24 so I'm "hip," they're the Oilers of dress shirts. Flashy with little substance. Poorly manufactured. Self-congratulating. Generally poopy.

I'll preface this by saying they're a client.

The nice thing about clothing from espy is that they don't buy a lot of the same style shirts (usually just 1 or 2 of each size) so you're very unlikely to run into someone with the same shirt as you.

They are great at helping you pick something that fits your body type too.
