Luxury Twill slim fit shirts for tall men

As spring finally seems to be in the air, I thought it was time recently to spruce up my wardrobe and revitalise my shirt selection. Having previously extolled the benefits of Charles Tyrwhitt for excellent shirts with long sleeves, I thought it was only fair to try out something else this time.

After having a look at the selection in various British shirtmakers (I make no apologies for being biased - I find the cut of British shirts better for a tall, slim man, as well as the slightlier dressier collar and cuffs), I was pleasantly surprised to make the discovery of the TM Lewin Luxury range

The Luxury range (its not actually a range as such, you just need to look for the shirts that have Luxury in the description, and written on the label) uses extra fine long staple cotton, which gives the shirt a unique and slightly heavier, glossier texture. While the normal TM Lewin 100 fabric is fine for a casual or standard work shirt, the luxury fabric adds an extra touch of quality. The great thing is that they do not cost any extra!

If you're tall and of average or slim build, I strongly recommend the Slim Fit, which has plenty of room, but avoids what I often get with 'normal' shirts, which is extra fabric sticking out at the back above where I tuck in the shirt. You can get extra long sleeve sizes online, up to 38" in most neck sizes.

Although the list prices for these shirts are high, they can usually be found on special offer at discounts of at least 50%. Delivery cost is reasonable for the US and also UK, and TM Lewin offer free returns for these countries.
