In need of new tuxedo shirt

[Adcurium]

I need to replace a tuxedo shirt. It seems my cuffs... Well... Shrunk. I can barely get them on. Can anyone suggest a brand and/or online retailer?

You might try Darcy's evening shirts.
I've been happy with their white tie marcella shirt, so I think I'll try their one for black tie next.

I've tried a BB and a few others, but I am not entirely happy so far with the black shirt I have.

This is the shirt I use for black tie, and I love the cut and fit. The construction is also very good. It even has a nice wide spread collar, to keep the points under the tuxedo's lapels and out of sight. My only complaint is that the holes for the studs are too large to accommodate vintage shirt stud sets.

For white tie, I have BB's Golden Fleece full dress, and I couldn't be happier. However, I don't care for the cut of BB's regular dress shirts.

I bought a higher collar from Darcy with this shirt.

I second the Darcy suggestion. I have the boiled front shirt with super tall detachable wing collar and love it. The ONLY thing is that the sleeves are about .5" to 1" too short (something Charlie Huang had mentioned once as well). Otherwise, it's a wonderful repro vintage style.

Will look into Darcy for future purchases.

I bought both of my bf's formalwear shirts as gifts for him from Jos A. Banks. They have several to choose from. I got him the pique bib and cuffs wing collar for his vintage black grosgrain peak lapel DB 1937 tux (and can also be used when he eventually get tails), and a pleated point collar to wear with his vintage midnight blue DB satin lapel early 1940s tux. I am pleased with the quality of both. Here is a pic of the pleated point collar, I had my cleaners do a light starch on it:

In the long run, if you wash what shirt you do purchase, hand wash it and hang to dry or dry clean it. One of my best white shirts just one time by mistake had a ride in a dryer, and the damage of it was very sad, perhaps shrunk a good half size and the cuffs are so tight I can no longer wear a wrist watch. Lorenzini, diamond texture formal shirt. If you want a shirt with some flair, buy a Brioni shirt, they are on the high dollar side but very razor sharp. There are a few on eBay for around $300.00 and real sharp. Lorenzini also makes a nice high end shirt for formal wear, but they are also in the ball part of $300.00 to $350.00. I am not sure about some of the British made shirts, I do not own any as of yet, but have a few Brooks Brothers and they are basic straight forward dress shirts.

Very sharp looking couple!

The Borrelli and Finamore are well made and reasonably priced (for the brands).

Thank you, LMH2! I think we do look (as well as being in other ways also- of course) well suited for each other.

Very sharp looking couple!
