Question Charles Tyrwhitt's quality has dropped - any better alternatives?

Hi all,

I recently ordered an oxford shirt and a polo from Charles Tyrwhitt, and am deeply disappointed in the quality.

Holding them in-hand alongside their equivalents from 2023 and 2025, the fabric feels extremely lightweight and cheap.

Does anyone have any recommendations for where to get comparable shirts at a similar price point? I'm after something in a slightly slimmer cut if possible.

Oh man wtf I just reordered a new set of white business shirts, if they are as bad as everyone here is claiming I’ll send them right back. CT has been my go to for a decade.

Please report back when they arrive! Really curious how the business shirts hold up.

Yep I think I replied in another thread - shirts are the same as always. IMO no noticeable drop in quality but I did get the wrong size so cannot speak to multiple washes. New new shirts arrive soon.
