Reasonably expensive clothes

Definately Slaters and Charles Tywriitt for the shirts. I dress my hubbie and we take the day out every so often and go to slaters either m/ch or glasgow -not sure if it is in London and spend all day.

I would spend on the suit and not worry about the shirts so much unless your particular job means you are seen in your shirt sleeves more . £150 -you will get something pretty decent in Slaters plus you can get not bad shirts in there for about £30. If you are sending your shirts out for cleaning you might bebetter to get cheaper shirts but change them more often to keep the crisp and fresh as I think this is what makes a difference.

Ties are definately out I agree but decent shirts should have enough buttons to be decent.


If you are having it tailored and wearing just shirt sleeves a lot then the jacket will last but your trousers will wear so a tailor could probably do you 2 pairs trousers fairly reasonabley.


sorry my typing is awful!

Yes, that's what happens. Most of the times apart from when I arrive / leave.

at the same time I´d be ridiculous wearing shirts closed at the collar button (and/or with button down collars) - again, no-one seems to be wearing them like that! Hence I need shirts with a button at the right place i.e. not too high, not too low.

Again, Charles Tyrwhitt do a range of casual shirts, originally designed for "dress down Friday". And button down "Oxford style" .... but you say you don't like them

Thomas Pink expensive? Tesco 3 quid shirts are expensive. It's the ratio of price/value that mark an expense, not just the price.

Thomas Pink shirts are so nice as too be practically free.

Have you considered a shopping trip to the US ?

The £ is so strong against the $ at the moment, outlet malls are cheap places anyway and plenty of the 'names' are doing buy 1 get 1 half price, 50% off, 40 % off etc.
With flights from £200 ish and a night in a motel for about £25, you could save yourself a packet - if you can be bothered with the hassle of flying !
