Anyone have experience with these shirts? The deal they have isn’t that bad for dress shirts, recommended or no? How’s the QC on these shirts?

I have a few of the non iron shirts that I use for work travel. They’re just fine for that purpose for me
For $30 they're terrific. The non-iron twill is a classic and a workhorse.
if I wanted to get this, is it short enough to worn untucked or is it really a shirt to be tucked in only?
They're supposed to be tucked in
Yeah, they are intended to be worn tucked in, with a jacket and tie. If you want something more casual, that you can dress up or down (wear with a jacket and tie, OR untucked/unbuttoned), you want an OCBD (oxford cloth button down)
fair, yeah I have a couple, I like the collars on the CT shirts, ill look into other styles of button ups, I know J Crew has some
Too be clear, CT also sells casual shirts, but I don't have any experience with those. They have pretty detailed measurements if you want to see if they'll fit you
I have a linen shirt and a chambray and they’re nothing special. Weak collar, average kinda mall brand quality
i think they're a little above average for the cost as longa as you buy them on sale, but you can likely get gently used shirts of higher quality on ebay
I love them and always get them on sale. In Germany the affordable shirt segment has been almost completely cannibalised by shark collars so if you want to get singing with a classic Kent collar CT has few alternatives in its niche.
The non iron shirts twill is the only type I get, I think the rest is eh. I much prefer them to eBay because you can get shirts that actually fit.
Unless you're quite chunky you can probably go with slim or extra slim fit.
