Actually those M&S slim fit ones look alright on their website, might just get a couple of them. Only for work after all
I like a beer, and as a result Im sporting an impressive bay window.
I’ve always dressed football casual but all the expensive designer clobber is now aimed at ‘skinny fit’ kids,,,,, not like the old days (90s😁)
Have found MnS, next, Lacoste and Barbour to be sympathetic to blokes with similar interests to me.
One day I will approach the dragons den panel with the latest fashion trend,,,,,, ‘lad fit’.
Orvis if you have a chest bigger than 38cm
never thought id buy anything connected to a gallagher
not to worry, now owned by JD Sports
M&S now doing slim fit in their autograph range. But to be fair their standard ones are plenty smart enough.
Sunspel again - sale just finished unfortunately
Or check out the John Smedley outlet website, some of the patterns are a bit 'me'h but good quality stuff. John Smedley stuff does turn up in TK Maxx but it's hit and miss what you find.
Rather than starting a new topic...
There is a slow move back into the office, I've spent the last 4 months in gym shorts and old running t-shirts, the previous 15 years before than in a suit with or without a tie.
Neither of these will cut it now, we're relaxing the dress code (wear what you want, just don't be to scruffy), which in my industry means casual shirts or polo shirts. Yay.
So what of the many suggestions above will work for a gentleman who's physique is best described as "skeletal"? Think 6'4", 80kg and arm like Chris Froome. Not a technical fabric, I sit in an office, it need to be at the "smart" and not the "sports" end.
Thanks, and yes, I do hate myself for asking!
Penguin from the outlet store at Cheshire Oaks has served me well. Good quality and always offers on.
Orvis.
It used to be Lazy Jacks but their colours are crap now.
Not a technical fabric, I sit in an office, it need to be at the “smart” and not the “sports” end.
In the world of polo shirts, it's been my experience that the smartest ones tend to be the ones in technical fabrics.
Cotton polos can scream "corporate workwear".... he said, whilst sitting wearing a cotton. branded corporate workwear polo.
Well, seeing as I started this, what I ended up doing was going to TK Maxx, browsing the extensive polo shirt aisle/rack and picking up a few of the decent quality ones from there. I got a Penguin one, Jack Russell one, Crew Clothing one and (he says checking the label of the one he's wearing) an Olimpo one and a RL one, all for less than £20 each.
If you're looking for nicely fitted then it's worth looking at, and I apologise profusely for the nomenclature, "muscle fit" T's and polos from Abercrombie and H&M.
Abercrombie have a bit more quality to them but I just got a really nice plain navy cotton one from H&M.
I hate blousy shirts.
On that note, M&S, the kings of blousy and boxy shirts, have started doing "slim and stretch" shirts with a modern semi spread collar that are the business. Easy iron, proper business shirts, modern tailored fit but not Phones4u salesman, if that makes sense.
Edit: also add All Saints to the polo list. They come fitted as standard and have a very "standard" range. Pricey but good.
Muscle fit from Hollister seem to be pretty good. Also if you are in Costco they sometimes have Fila which fit well.
