    That deliver to Ireland, obviously.

    Looking for good value, don't want to spend over 35 on the pair really.

    While we're at it, what's the story with the sizing on some websites?
    House of Fraser, 16" collar is a 44" chest, wtf? And Next's 16" is 42" which is still really big. Would expect a 16" collar shirt to fit 36-40. Do steroids make your neck smaller?

    Unfortunately they don't sell any sensible shirts, just a load of embarrassing funboy crap like this and this (only €260 for the pair!! lol).

    They sell plenty of "normal" oxford shirts too. Decent for the money, 25/30 each.

    Take a look at myhabit, it's similar type site to overstock.com but tied to Amazon. I get their emails regularly and they get a lot of nice stuff on it with big mark downs. I've never ordered from it yet so I don't know if it's affected by import tax and things but they do deliver internationally

    Marks and Spencer Ireland, so, sell non "funboy crap" (I hope you agree), from €20 for a shirt, and they deliver.

    Did you just choose to ignore all the good value "normal" shirts?

    M&S is worth a look too.

    Would go with M&S, superior quality to ASOS menswear from my experience. They also don't have those silly small collars that a lot of ASOS shirts have.

    Although for 35E you probably won't get a pure cotton M&S shirt and pure silk tie, more likely a cotton/poly blend shirt and polyester tie. You might have to go towards 50E for that but it would be worth the extra cost imo.

    I excluded the ASOS own brand stuff from my search because it's really poor quality and fit. Have bought 'medium' shirts before that didn't even let me move my arms (after returning a Small which should have fit me).

    I'll take a look at M&S though, thanks.

    I've always struggled to find shirts that fit properly. I'm chest size "38 but broad on the shoulders comparatively speaking. I found a fantastic online company called Tailor Store that makes made to measure shirts and will deliver to Ireland http://www.tailorstore.com

    You need to take a bit of time to measure yourself properly, or if you have one shirt that fits you perfectly you can measure that. The web site is excellent and walks you through the measurement process. The shirt design tool lets you design every last aspect of the shirt. I received my first shirt from them a few weeks ago and I ordered two more straight away. The quality is excellent and the fit is PERFECT. They are more expensive than something like ASOS own brand but there is no comparison in quality and fit. Depending on what material/customization you want, a shirt can still come in cheaper than a high-end off the peg brand. It's a Swedish company that I have absolutely nothing to do with, although I am happy to send business their way as I hope to buy shirts off them for years to come. They have over 5000 Likes on Facebook so I'm not the only one who is impressed.
