Gee I don't know...any of the stores you just mentioned? Go try some on. Are you going to ask us if you can use the restroom next?

I personally prefer banana republic over express.


Either way, your best bet is go to each place and try them all on.

I didn't know if they all had them or not. I'm going during lunch, so I didn't want to waste time going somewhere if they didn't have any.

Thanks for the dickhead comment, you must be a blast in real life.

Pretty sure most every big department store has "fitted" dress shirts if that's what you mean.

Express has sales every few months where you can get 3 shirts for $90 or less, it's a steal and I love their clothes.

you just missed the brooks bros semi annual sale

try again 12/26 @ 8am, when their semi annual sale is just ridiculous

BB slim fit non-iron > everything in your OP

Express fitted shirts fits me perfectly... Anyone know if there's any other stores that sell shirts with the same cut as Express?

I like the non-iron dress shirts. I usually get mine from brooks brother's, banana, or charles tyrwhitt. a little bit pricier but worth it. there are always deals to be had.

they're definitely better than some of the other stores mentioned. if you can afford it, you should stock up at their semi annual sale.

current prices linked above are actually LOWER than their semi annual sale

Express stuff looks good and is great for going out fri/sat night but their stuff doesn't hold up for work use - in my opinion. I've found that they fall apart after about a year if you wash them yourself.

The banana republic stuff is thicker and the stitching looks better. I've never had one 'wear out' (seams falling apart, color 'wearing off' on the edges, etc)

I like the fit of Express fitted shirts, they seem to hold up well. I've only started buying them, but one one friend has some he's worn for years, so I guess it depends how hard you are on your clothes.

I think so too. The express stuff also seems a little more effort to keep straight after washing.

But, I like how the express MX1's fit me and the fact that they don't have a pocket in front. That, and they're often found cheaper.

Arrow Fitted. You can get them at Kohl's on sale for ~$15 each.

I like these. Don't have a Kohl's here, but I get them at Sears. I did get a bad batch though recently, they roll up on the bottom and aren't as nice as some i've had before. And it's hard to find my size (Medium fitted 34/35).

Where do you find them though?? Most of the stores listed here do NO have slim fit dress shirts anywhere in the store.
