Work shirts Dublin?

    Hi just wondering if anyone has any recommendations on where to pick up some decent work shirts around Dublin? Picked up a few from Next and Debenhams previously as the slim fit styles in those places were a pretty good fit, need to get some new ones now though. Also going to be starting to wear a tie so a bit of a change in style probably necessary..
    Thought I saw a shop of Grafton Street advertising 4 for 140 euro a little while ago (could of been Dalvey's, or is that gone now).
    Any suggestions welcome!

    Probably TM Lewin on St Anne st. They do good multi-buys and their shirts are good fits and durable!

    I'd second TM Lewin, good balance between price & quality.

    M&S often do a buy one get one half price on their Sartorial (highest quality) shirt range, which works out at about 40-45E per shirt.

    TK Maxx have a section of shirts for cheap. Some of the brands are okay, such as Savilerowco but there's a lot of Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein type stuff which I wouldn't recommend hugely, though you'll often get them for 20-25E.

    Yeah actually got a Calvin Klein one from there recently enough and it really hasn't worn well, surprisingly low quality!

    Brooks Brothers have excellent shirts. They're €75 in Kildare Village but very good quality.

    TM Lewin not bad but the shirts crease very easily and by the end of the day the shirt is horribly wrinkled, so much so that you cant take your jacket off.

    Not if you buy the easy iron/non iron ones. Myself and my husband tend to buy our respective work shirts there and we've both always been really happy with the quality, fit, durability, his are so easy to iron, price.

    Personally speaking I don't like easy iron shirts due the slight sheen they usually have as a result of whatever chemicals they've been treated with.

    Or worse, if they're part polyester :eek:

    I'm the same. The shirts in TM Lewin don't seem to have that. My husband has the non/ easy iron shirts in blue and white and they are the perfect shirt. Slim fitting yet long enough for him too (he is quite all) and wash and wear well and aren't a curse to iron.

    TM Lewin are great value at the price.

    If you're going to be buying in bulk then do yourself a favour and work their online site - there are always coupons floating around the net.

    Also try other online outlets like Tyrwhitt.

    At M&S you can get a three short package - usually blue, white, and striped.

    M&S have an excellent range.
    From top of the line (sartorial) to just good daily work shirts. IF you liked the next slim fits, try the M&S slim fits.

    I used to get TM Lewin, but noticed the quality really going downhill in recent years, and the material being a bitch to iron!
