I was on the verge of ordering shirts from Brooks Brothers last night, but I just couldn't make myself pull the trigger on the purchase. Some introspection afterward, I determined why I wasn't really intent on buying their shirts. It is the same reason why I've not bought any shirts from Charles Tyrwhitt or TM Lewin.
The shirts I am intent on replacing are too big for me, but I love the look of them. Almost all of them are end-on-end broadcloth solids, and I want the replacements to be very similar to these. Unfortunately, I cannot get these from BB without requesting custom-made shirts (@ $130 a pop). Other retailers offer end-on-end shirts, but the selection is small, and often includes stripes, which detract from the visual appeal of that type of fabric (imo).
All that said (er...typed), my first question is: does anyone know of a shirt retailer that offers OTR slim-fit shirts in a wide selection of end-on-end solids?
If not, I would like some recommendations from folks who have had shirts made. Note that I live in Tallahassee Florida, and won't likely be able to meet anyone from, say, Maxwell's, any time soon.
