I'd call Tyrwhitt a C+ brand. Their bulk buying and workmanship in conjunction with each other make for a real wardrobe workhorse. The metal collar stays that come with each shirt make for a pretty nice bonus as well.

[careavis]

Wonderful video detailing all attributes of different brands of shirts. This video also lays the ground work for buying certain shirts for certain occasions.Loved it.

[stefanschleps]

Bravo! Excellent work GG, but that's what we've come to expect from you.
I learn a great deal every time you drop another video. Thank you.
All the best.

[jackwarren]

The ranking videos are some of my favorite. Keep them coming!

[nuadasilverlance]

For Ralph lauren, you should really divide them into three different brands: Polo, Double RL and Purple Label, they are all very different in Price and quality and Design, i like the Double RL Dress Shirts very much 😉

[PoopFart]

Thank you! I love these brand rating videos. I'm just starting in menswear and this helps save me a lot of money.

Please do more of these!!

[Bliax]

Perfect timing! Love your guys channel❤️

[matthewbeechr]

Having worked with Brooks Brothers for several years and accrued a collection of their OCBD’s, I do think they have the best collar for their price point, the points are long and the roll generous.

The best version (this century) was their OG Polo OCBD revived dress shirt from 2010’s ($140), but this new version as you featured in this video ($198) is a luxury with beautiful MOP buttons and an Oxford cloth with a great hand.

[Alistair_McCullom]

Love this type of video! keep of the good work gents

[khanskingdom]

Great video! The ONLY video out there giving an insight about dress shirt makers and the pricing

[craft-o-matic]

Thank you for the information gentlemen! Have a fantastic week!

[friskytwox]

i needed this guide because I'm looking to get some dress shirt, and this'll do me well, thank you gentleman's gazette 💯

[tomxdonnet]

Raphael: Please make it happen!
If you can produce dress shirts that are similar in quality to the gloves and socks and everything else, and you offer options for multi-way sizing (independent collar/sleeve/abdomen measurements), I could GLADLY order several. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

[tellyvarga]

Loved this video. Please do more!! I would be interested in shirting fabrics ranked, sweater fabrics ranked, loafer brands ranked, leather bags ranked, I’ll literally watch anything

[thegrandexchange]

Thank you for the video, and the channels content 🎉

[caveat]

Excellent review, personally the only shirts i wear are Eton, Canali and Armani Collezioni .
They fit me well

[dangaines]

Great shirt review! I have quite a few Eton shirts and I am enjoying them…

[michaelosullivan]

Raphael, I agree with your assessment of Thomas Pink, Lewin and Charles Tyrwitt. these are my main suppliers.
Whilst commenting, your outfit on the video blended very well and would be something I would wear

[sanchez]

Awesome vid, definitely be checking out 100 hands

[TimPaddy]

I've been extremely happy with the value of Apt9 dress shirts. $45 seems to be the norm. Part of it, is the fit is wonderful for me, so I don't consider tailoring; big benefit. They aren't high end, or super heavy, but their pattern matching has been extremely good in my experience. To fill out and build my new business wardrobe, they're perfect. And I can look to supplement slowly with higher end brands going forward. Kohl's is where I've gotten them, but I'm seeing they are in other stores; I thought they were a Kohl's house brand. YMMV, but I think they punch far above the price point.
