Anyone tried Suit Supply shirts? Any good?

Anyone tried Suit Supply shirts? Any good?

Got about 3 or 4 of them. They're not bad, although I've found they shrink over time through washing n' repeated wear. For the price, Kamakura are an infinitely better OTR option at equivalent cost.

I asked spier and Mackay to ship to aus and they did. With shipping it came to about $65 a shirt for three shirts and I couldn't justify trying suit supply after that.

Did you just order through the English Language site? I tried to order through the Japanese site and couldn't ship to Aus, but the discrepancy in price turned me off ordering from the English language site.

It used to be possible to order from the website of Kamakura Shirts' Japanese parent company, Maker's Shirts. However, they stopped shipping internationally a year or two back and now all orders from outside Japan must go through the Kamakura Shirts website.

Your post made me look at Spier & Mackay, something I avoided for years assuming it'd be an overpriced forum affiliate. There are some cheap shirts on there... Uniqlo cheap!

Would you mind saying a bit more about the shirt? Where does it sit quality wise? Did it shrink much after 3+ washes? Did you go for their unfused collars?

Thanks mate, looks like they come to about 110 or so still reasonable for the quality compared to paying that for a "name" brand at DJs.

Kamakura/Maker's shirts are fantastic quality for the price.

The only downside - and it can be significant - is their somewhat offbeat sizing and the various cuts that they have - Tokyo Classic, Tokyo Slim, NY Classic, NY Slim etc.

Can vouch for their offbeat sizing - hence why I'm selling my Kamakura shirt!

Thanks everyone for the shirt input. I have Kamakura and they are great, but the bat **** crazy sizing is problematic so was just curious about Suit Supply.

Spier and MacKay looks interesting.

Spier and MacKay looks interesting.

Their oxford-cloth, button-down collar shirts look nice but I'm rather disappointed that they have plain backs, rather than having a box-pleat in the middle of the back.

MJ bale shirts on sale are great value.

Not a deal breaker for me, but well spotted!

They are very good value, but nothing in their range that I'm after at the moment.

Brooks brothers (when on sale)? Mine have all been bomb proof though sleeves are T. rex short

Haven't tried BB, might have a look. Not a huge fan of their collars and so many of their shirts are the 'non iron' bollocks from memory.
