Buying casual shirts from Charles Tyrwhitt
I'm gonna stock up on casual shirts and Charles Tyrwhitt seems to have the best cost to quality ratio I've seen. Problem
is I'm pretty muscular and their sizes don't fit me perfectly. I'm 110cm chest, 90cm waist and 82cm sleeve. Their measurements for chest and waist fit me decently but the sleeve is 8cm too long. Will it fit?

As someone who once did what you're about to do, don't do it. There are just so many better options out there.
What exactly are you looking for? Their stuff is all very basic business-like clothes
I bought a half dozen or so shirts from them and I wish I had spent that money elsewhere on better shirts.
I'd point you to spier and mackay to take a look at their offerings. Their sale prices are better than tyrwhitts
I'm just looking for some casual shirts I can throw on over a t-shirt or under a sweater for the school year
Try spier. You can find a great shirt for $25 in some instances
You're probably only seeing trywhtt because the of those fuckers atGoogle anyway
There's a huge difference between these two
Where is Spier based? I live in Iceland but have a relative in the UK that can deliver stuff for me.
Canada
CT is nice since it's based in the UK and there's no extra shipping cost when I order to my relatives
Damn
Is there a lot of difference in quality between CT and Spier?
Yes
Can't seem to find any comparisons online
Not really. Spier just does a specific style that some people like.
Both are cheaper shirts that are made ok from ok fabrics.
That's honestly what I'm looking for, something decent I can wear daily without burning a hole in my wallet.
I own both and the difference between the two is huge to me.
CT linen is rough and scratchy. SM is soft and smooth
Collars on CT are tiny and their shirts are plain
