Mid-range shirts in Europe

[Chris124]

Hi, I know brand does not matter that much with shirts, but lot of shops I came across sell mostly non-iron shirts (even Charles Tyrwhitt, at least what they have in stock here) or also sell these not-so-nice patterned shirts, which makes me suspicious a bit.

Plus, I really have zero idea since I only moved to the Netherlands recently.

I’m looking for something around 50 euro. I considered thrifting but I am quite small so there’s not much to pick from.

T.M.Lewin would be nice, but they're only in the UK.

I don’t know my measurements very well, so in the ideal case I’d like to try them on in a physical shop. Do you guys know off anything?

For €50 choice is minimal, but I always like Suitable. They have like 10 stores across the Netherlands and I own(ed) a number of their shirts, undershirt, merino pullovers etc. and they serve me well for day-to-day business casual wear to the office.

They also offer a wide range of sizing and look great when new, but will show holes after a few years and washing cycles. I should invest some time to find better brands also, but I would expect to pay at least €150 for a shirt then.

I wouldn't wear a dress shirt which retails for less than €50 (especially if bought in Amsterdam). The quality will just be bad. If that's your budget, you are better off looking for second hand on eBay. You could easily find SuitSupply shirts that retail for €120 for less than €50.

Thanks, I'll definitely stop by

I'm considering it but I'm a bit worried about the fit. But it does sound really good...

Take a look at Hast, Loom, Octobre Editions, Figaret, The Nines. They're generally good value for money, and even better on sale.
