All,

I'm in the market for some new shirts - dress and casual. Can anyone chime in the the quality of Press' shirts?

Years ago, the quality of their shirts didn't match that of their suits, blazers and tweeds. I hope that's changed.

Anyone?

Merry, merry,
FH

I must size up in J. Press. I wear 16.5/4 to 17/4 in BB and 17.5/4 in Press.

I do recall my 15/34's were a bit snug.

Can you speak to their quality?

I used to wear a lot of Press shirts. I found them well made. However, the Press fit has always seemed to be on the trim side. The collars were close to perfect after several years of being too short but still lacked the elusive roll of ancient memories of Brooks and the standard at Mercer. As their prices have moved up, even though Mercers cost more, I concluded I would rather have fewer Mercers than more Press. If you pull the trigger I would be interested in your assessment. If you go OCBD at Press, the pocket flap is definitely a love it or hate it thing.

Thank you.
