in I wanna buy it or do it
Hello all,

I have tried a number of places lately, but cant seem to find good quality mens shirts (short sleeve) for work.

Naturally I dont want to break the bank.

Is anyone doing any deals, or seeing anything lately????

    What do you consider to be a reasonable price ?
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    Have you looked in Matalan - they do a range of prices, although I don't know what the quality is like.

    I'm happy to pay £20-30 a shirt as they last years, but finding good quality is becoming impossible.

    Who also decided a breast pocket in shirts was no longer required?

    I don't think you will find good quality for under a tenner to be honest, I think its a false sense of economy because you will be replacing them every couple of months.

    On saying that though, Matalan do have some that look ok as elsien mentioned above http://www.matalan.co.uk

    I got a Primark shirt for holiday and was surprised how decent it was - even got a few compliments whilst wearing it. May have been my incredible good looks rather than the shirt though :rotfl:

    I just picked a nice one up the other day for £3. Charity shop. Very lucky find. I'd be willing to pay up to a tenner as well.

    I first went to TK Maxx and they charge FAR too much.

    I even visited Primark and Matalan.

    They weren't short sleeve, but M&S were selling a pack of 3 long sleeve shirts for £30 last week.

    Just found some short sleeve ones for you:- http://www.marksandspencer.com/3-pack-easy-care-short-sleeve-shirts/p/p22288191?mfPartNumber=T114052&carousel=FUNV_RR 3 pack for £27.
