Anyone tried "Blank Label" shirts?

[nailhat]

I'm looking to get some decent dress shirts on a pretty slim budget. I had planned on getting some off the rack then having them tailored but I ran into two problems; it is damn near impossible to find shirts without chest pockets AND even if I did, my small town doesn't seem to have a well reviewed tailor anyway.

SO, now I'm looking at online sites for shirts made to measurements. I checked out a lot of the popular options (ravis, baron boutique, shirtsmyway, ...) and then I stumbled on blank-label.com It seems to be as low a price as I've seen without going international. Has anybody heard of this company or tried out its shirts? I'd love to hear some opinions before I take the leap. Thanks in advance.

Never heard of it, but usually don't these companies ask you for lots of measurements instead of S/M/L?

If you dont mind going internationally you could check out some of the Jermyn street shirts. T.M Lewin, Thomas Pink and Harvie and Hudson pops into mind. That is where I get my shirts from and sometimes you can get excellent offers on their websites. Although I know people who doesn't like the style of the classic British shirt, I do so I wear them. And if you have the time (and the money, since cost was a factor you'd better not even consider it) you can usually find a made to measure service which gives you a shirt that fits like a glove.

Whilst stuck in London during the Volcano crisis I picked up 4 shirts for £100.00 at TM Lewins, this may have been great value 10 years ago but this is a fair reflection on there worth as they are now made in Vietnam, whilst some are made in China.

I've been considering ordering one for a while now, but as I'm pretty much broke, I can't justify the cost haha!

I like how you are able to customize the shirt to the size (body type, weight, height) along with all the different other goodies.

Since I don't really mind where the shirts are made or stitched I appreciate those price tags allot. I find that £100 for 4 shirts is quite impressive wherever you go to buy a high quality shirt. I've sometimes paid that amount for just 1 shirt and of what I can read from the tag it isn't made in Europe either.

I am happy to continue buying them especially at that price, as they are now
high street prices rather than Jermyn Street/Saville Row prices. The high street shirts are made in Morocco, Mauritius etc even my Hugo Boss shirts are made in Macedonia/Romania, it's just they are no longer made by English/Ulster artisan shirt makers but in a factory in Vietnam. They are good value but they have lost the Jermyn Street kudos......

The best feeling is still to walk over there and get one tailored.

I won a free shirt (any style/price) from BL. I'll be ordering one soon and will let y'all know how it turns out.
