Best white shirts for a wedding?
Looking for white dress shirts for a wedding. Don't have time for shipping.
What are the best brands with stores, or sell at other stores?

Tigers of Sweden?
Where are you based and what are you willing to spend.
Toronto, maybe $150cad pre tax?
Probably suit supply.
Thanks, any alternatives?
I don't know what stores there are in Toronto beyond that if you need it quickly.
It's a big city, it has most stores
SS is probably 200 pre-tax here for anything decent
And I tried a crappy shirt the other day, didn't fit
The one you linked is the one I tried on. Wasn't that nice, and definitely didn't fit
Pretty much any department store at a mall should have a good, white dress shirt.
Spier & Mackay might in their toronto store.
If you have fit issues it might be more complicated than that, but you should be able to find something that can be tailored, today. Probably.
I'll do that
You don't think I should do tiger of Sweden?
They make decent stuff by all accounts. If they sell a white dress shirt that fits you well and you're okay with whatever price they charge, go for it.
Just went. Honestly just fine. Gonna do department store tomorrow
Brooks Brothers
Proper cloth, white twill cotton, fit would be exact and it's really nice quality
Twill can wear hotter than poplin, so keep that in mind
What's up with poplin? I have one shirt and it's so wrinkled it looks permanent deformed no matter how much I iron. It is lighter and crisper though
Is your iron hot enough? Otherwise just get it laundered/pressed at a dry cleaner
MTM is a horrible way to get a shirt that fits perfect on the first try and it will take a while
propercloth is more like semi-mtm
but yes, maybe high risk for someone who has to ask
Cotton shirts come in a number of weaves. Poplin, also called end-over-end, is one. You can always bring it to a dry cleaner and tell them to launder it (no need to dry clean it) and they'll press it and it'll look unwrinkled. Then you'll know that your iron skills are insufficient (mine too ;) )
I suggested proper cuz he said he had plenty of time. Which means I totally misread his OP lol
