SHIRTS - THE CHAP'S GUIDE TO QUALITY SHIRTS AT MODEST PRICES

I would dearly love to be able to afford and wear an elite quality shirt from one of the world's finest tailoring houses in London. Sadly my financial circumstances mean that this option is outside my realistic reach (and always will be). However, join me, your channel curator as I explain my approach to the importance of shirts in a chap's wardrobe and how I manage to wear exquisite examples of the finest shirts on offer for a mere fraction of the normal retail prices.

Here are my top 5 tips to get remarkable value for money from your shirt collection:

1. Consider buying pre-owned. There are fantastic bargains to be found on auction sites like e-bay and even in local thrift shops, as long as you can put aside any hang-ups that you may harbour over wearing a shirt that has been owned by another person - if you can, well, you too can be wearing shirts made by the world's elite manufacturers for a fraction of the original prices.

2. Go bold - I love contrasting (white) collar shirts and these are slightly out of fashion at the present time, hence I have stolen some great bargains when picking up a wide collection of these garments from auction sites and other places. The same goes for shirts with bold patterns. If you can find a place in your wardrobe for such items, you could be quids-in!

3. Find a style or manufacturer of shirt that suits you well and build a collection of shirts that will cover you for any form of event, either casual or formal. Remember, a shirt is such an important component of your wardrobe, it deserves your fullest attention when selecting it and pairing it with the other elements of your sartorial ensemble.

4. Wash your garment sparingly - remember, your shirt will deteriorate each time you wear it and especially each time it goes through a wash and ironing cycle. Accordingly, to prolong the life of your shirt, wash it only when it needs to be washed. If you have only worn your shirt for a few hours, or if it has only been lightly exposed to any stresses (perspiration, soiling, etc.) you can wear it more than once before laundering it.

5. Learn how to maintain your valued investments - sew on any loose or lost buttons and stay on top of any damage or issues that arise, such as stains or fraying.
