I need to buy a handful of them for the new job. Money is kinda tight now. Anything similar to it? It's a button-down, but as elfenix put it...not your traditional oxford cut

They're not dress shirts, per se. Yes, they are collared buttondowns, but they aren't traditionally cut.

Its my favorite shirt. Every once in a while, you can get em for like 20 bucks each. A simliar shirt is a Banana Republic button down. No crease in the sleeve and the collar isn't has big, but costs more.

If money is tight, I'd hit maybe nordstrom rack or some outlet mall for a couple shirts to last you for now.

The Banana Republic strech poplin shirt is the shirt closest to the 1mx shirt but its about 50 dollars. I got 8 of those 1mx shirts when they were 19.99 each at express. Check stores like Ross, Tj Maxx and Marshalls every so often I see Express clothing there.

Do you have any outlets near you? The Banana Republic outlets usually sell thier strech shirts for about 20 bucks. Or check the sale rack sometimes they clearance the older colors.

I went this morning. It was "Buy 1, get 1 for $20 off". So they avereged to $40 each. I just went for them, I don't have time to be going all across dallas trying to save a few bucks.

Do you honestly think that guy had a clue what he was talking about?

Well...he worked there...so either he was lying to make me buy more, or Express is trying become more exclusive (hoping for the latter).

i bought 2 earlier in the week

these things are great, can be machine washed just fine, remember to use some starch when you iron, especially on the collar.

I got a couple of the shirts today, I may go back for more, don't know. My initial impression is that they're nice and fit well. I got larges and they shrunk a little in the dryer, but not much and not in the sleeves at all.

For $20 it's a quality dress shirt. I got a nice polo shirt for $20 too.

Mine did fine in the dryer on low heat. I might have to go there more often for shirts, at least. Express is one of those stores where you have to be careful what you buy because some of it is pretty metrosexual. Not to mention expensive.
