We'll see if that one sticks in the old grey matter... unfortunately a little too long to be of use for scrabble

The fact that Ron Duguay's Hair is posting about shirts like this makes my day.



Look at that outfit. Amazing.

I like the designs on the inside of the collar and the cuffs.

I saw a couple of more overstated shirts at Pusch in Chinook that were in the $150 range; however they were a little more colorful than I wanted.

I tried searching for something similar from a Canadian website ; however, I did not have much luck.

Express (Chinook/South Centre/Market Mall) has some nice ones; not too 'loud' either. If your body type can pull it off, go with the fitted look.

I still don't understand... are people scoffing at the inside pattern, or the fact that it's a "dress shirt?"

I'm on board if we're mocking the pattern on the cuffs or whatever that is, but if it's all about the fact it's just a long sleeve shirt with buttons, then I'm going to have to start questioning you guys on your choice of style.

Take a guess which one it is.

My guess is that the shirts at express will not fit me properly, but I may have a look.

In the end I may decide that on me these shirts are the dress equivalent of Ed hardy.

Would be a cool shirt if the cuffs/collar weren't patterned, the buttons/stitching weren't black, and if the buttons didn't have that weird doubled up spacing.

A 4XL fits like a Medium at Le Chateau. Those shirts looks chachi. That's all I got.

I wear long sleeved dress shirts (with a tie) every day. I pay a decent amount for mine because I am both fat and tall so they are hard to find in my size and you would still be paying double just for some extra buttons and a girls pattern on the cuffs.

This is why I don't understand fashion.

I agree with this 100%. Their prices are expensive (about $100 a shirt) but the shirts are amazing quality and fit great.

This all depends on your build, but their extra slim fit fits better than any shirt i've ever owned.

Also be sure to get the non-iron. The things just won't wrinkle, it's fantastic.

Do not get non-iron. It looks like plastic. Also, do not wear a shirt, and tie without a jacket. You will look like a bank teller.

Have you considered the custom route?

yes, but I am not a typical CP poster that makes 150k per year. I am on a pretty strict budget

The Bay (downtown only) has a section in the Menswear section that has some higher end branded (and priced) shirts like this...adjacent to the suiting department.

It's not just you, these shirts are the dress equivalent of Ed Hardy on anyone.
