Looking at Charles Tyrwhitt for a white formal shirt to go with a dark suit. The last time I bought a shirt was from Burton’s over a decade ago, which should tell you all I know about shirt buying. I know there’s a few advocates of CT here, so hopefully someone will be able to help.

I can’t seen to find anywhere that explains the sleeve measurement, and the figures seem huge to me. How is this measured? Only way I can see that makes any sense is from the middle of the neck, over the shoulder and down to the cuff edge. Is that right? I guess too long is better than too short?

Twill, imperial twist, poplin, herringbone, end-on-end what’s all that about then? How do I choose? I guess poplin or EOE is the way to go, says they’re lighter and I don’t to be sweating like a stuck pig.

Help me Obi-Wan STW, you’re my only hope.

Not CT but sizing will most likely be the same as this guide from a competitor

Poplin is closest to what you imagine in standard shirt.
Twill a bit thicker (I think)
Herringbone has subtle pattern

I assume you read this

FWIW, code AMAZON16 will get you £10 off your order.

Aha! Top find, thank you. The ‘bent arm’ photo was the detail I was missing.

I’ve got a code on a flyer, but that’s better I think. Ta.

Pleasure, my friend!

Its very much like the handkerchief code

Yeo, don’t want to send the wrong messages otherwise you could end up in all sorts of bother….

Actually, mine’s better for shirts over £33. QWYT is all shirts at £22.95 (code expires tomorrow, fill your boots).

Oh, and Topcashback gives me another 10%, bargain.
