There was no review on Eton shirts on RUclips. Thank you TheKavalier! It would also be very nice to get your opinion on comparison between Eton and other luxurious shirts.
When I met you I was definitely wearing a Gap shirt but over the holidays I started sourcing a few Eton shirts at Bloomingdales because they had some pretty decent sales. I must have picked up 5 or so. Hands down the best shirts I own to date. I was enamored with TM Levin for a while but the things that get me with my Eton shirts are the collars and the buttons. Hands down, the best buttons I’ve seen on off the rack shirts. Some have that hidden button down collar too which is absolutely mint. So over last summer I was looking at them in the Eton store on Madison Ave and the sales person was very snooty so I left without even trying to buy one. And since basically NOBODY is snooty at Bloomingdales, I wound up buying all of my Eton shirts there. I also tried a couple of Brooks Brothers and Hugo BOSS shirts as well. They had some incredible sales. Definitely my go to shirts for any future meetups in SoHo 😉 aYou definitely get what you’re u pay for with these higher end shirts. Take care Jon. Stay strong. Stay healthy! ✊🏾
I have these shirts. The quality is life changing. When you try on this shirt for the first time nothing compares. It's very smooth and breathable. The bottom are tough but elegant. The collar is amazing. Also the most important thing he missed is that these shirts will almost never wrinkle! The fabric is so good that it stays in shape amazingly.
@@Kslater23 if I were you. Id go get measured. They sell the shirts in so many different sizes that it's very likely you will find one your size. Their sizing goes by neck size, length of arms, neck to hips and I think maybe even belly size. Not sure on the last one. But they do sell so many sizes you'll find one your size.
I am 6’3” 188 pounds, 40L, just bought a slim Eton shirt. Really want to try their super slim, have always had trouble finding properly fitting shirts. Perfect for a guy working in wealth management. Thank you for the vid!
It's quite interesting that Eton shirts are so expensive in the US compared to Sweden. I just checked and even though they've raised the prices a bit the last year or so the retail price is about 1200-2000 SEK - which is about $120-$200 (including 25% VAT). So I guess, swing by Sweden and stock up ;) I also disagree with Sigurdur's comment about Stenström. I've tried several but have had no luck there. But it might depend on model and/or fabrics I guess. Me personally, having a very non-standard size (short and somewhat heavy set) I usually go for MTM in a menswear boutique unless I find Eton shirts on sale.
Americans are suckers, and this guy is clueless and a prime example of a want-to-be gentleman.. He recommends silly stuff all the time, and probably went to a random "public" school in the US.
It's a great thrift find too! Because of the quality of the shirt they usually hold up great as second hand buys. Found a white contemporary casual shirt in my size for 10$!
As a active thrift store shopper, I see like new Eton shirts all the time for less that $10. Also, the EBay marketplace for lightly preowned Eton shirts are very low, so you want rather pay $30 for lightly preowned ones instead of close to $300, I would recommend giving eBay a look! Huge fan of the channel, been watching for years!
Eton shirts are like flowers. Beautiful but delicate. I had two $300 Eton shirts and both of them ripped in the elbows, armpits, and buttons. I wasn't even doing anything extreme. I was just wearing them at my office job.
I had a chance to try those and unfortunately they don't fit short torso :( they are too long and the collar is super high so no deal for me. The quality is top notch though
my biggest concern after a few months of training is the fitting of the shirt in the chest. I have a very slim belt. And most of the superslims fit perfectly here, but the chest is tight. If I am in model slim in the chest, it is okay, but there is already a problem with excess excess around the waist. Unfortunately, there is nothing like custom made
Eton shirts mostly, if not all, have convertible cuffs too. There is a hole between the buttons on the cuffs where you can convert it use cuff links/knots. Eton is a “premium” shirt for sure.
Great vid as always. What kinda of pants and shoes would you recommend going with the tie, shit, and jacket you were wearing. Color wise and style wise.
I've been happy with every single Eton shirt I've had so far! Slim and Contemporary fits have been awesome, the only shirt I'd say that has rivaled it for me in terms of fit has been some of the Billy Reid shirts I've gotten. They just look and feel terrific, haven't found many other shirts like it.
I've had many Eton shirts a few years ago. And I bought one recently. Altough they were fine, I can't say I share your enthousiasm. I don't think its worth the price. For the same money I prefer Cordone 1956.... but, its just an opinion. That, said, great vid as usual.
Are the button holes cut then sewn? Do the buttons have a shank? What's the Cotton staple Length? What's the process that the cotton goes through? The cotton is probably made from a little bit better than average cotton, And the Buttons are made from mother of pearl (but what grade of MOP?) The shirts are probably bad value for money. I say that because they don't really give you much detail about their shirts on the website.
Strong flex... Eton shirts are legit - got some of the incredible white shirts on eBay for $45 each basically brand new, and actually got one from from saks off 5th for $20 on Black friday! So now I can the look the part even though I'm not lol
Try out Stenstrom shirts next . I have both eton and Stenstrom . I enjoy both of them ,but the fabric is softer and more interesting patterns besides florals .
I have over 100 shirts from Eton. They make the most comfortable shirts in the world . I would probably have more if they always have the 18.5 size . I mean, they make shirts!
@@didiervancampo9384 Yes, buying other shirts after trying an Eton is a no no for me . I work in a health care facility and even my patients and collegues cant get enough .
Anyone know the actual sleeve length of Eton shirts? Their measurements are useless because the factor in the shoulder which other manufacturers don't do...
I have two Etons and a dozen Stenstoms, their factories are a stones throw away from each other and I can confidently say Stenstroms is better in almost every way. Cheaper, better wear, greater prints and fabrics. The only downfall of Sten over Eton is the ironing. Double ply cotton from Stenstoms is much more durable than treated anti-wrinkle fabric from Eton, BUT the Shirts don't Iron as easy and if you don't get the right fabric, can be difficult on the press. Certainly better accessories and knitwear as well, My friend and I both have some ties and knitwear and we both rely on them as wardrobe staples. Check out their mother of pearl cufflinks, might be the most beautiful set I've ever seen.
I have 10 Eton shirts and I absolutely love them. I am 6 foot 4 inches with 40 inch sleeve lengths so getting my size in shirts has always been so difficult , but I am able to get my size in Eton 18 and a half and 19 . So you greatly recommend STENSTOMS ? hOW COME i NEVER HEARD ABOUT THEM..
I love my two Eton shirts, have you tried Gitman Bro’s yet? I have heard you on a few videos ask for American made recommendations. I believe they are located in Pennsylvania.
I had a weird experience with Eton. I bought a shirt online because I knew that color would sell out quickly. Then went in person to the store and tried a few shirts the same size I ordered online and they wouldn't fit properly, I've got wider shoulders but a tapered waste (nothing crazy) and there would be too much extra fabric on the body. However when I got the shirt I ordered, the fit was perfect so I'm not sure if the fabric has something to do or what really happened but on the store we agreed with the manager that the shirts weren't fitting...
Different patterned shirts will be a little different, due to the different type of fabrics or just the fact they are probably made in different factories.
Some Eton shirts have very interesting and special patterns. I think that’s the only reason I get eton shirts sometimes. Getting a plain solid color eton shirt is honestly a waste of money in my view. Better off with a bespoke.
Love this one however if you are wear this shirt white one you need to wear a different suit with it, the jacket you had on was to wear with a casual shirt
It took me a while to see what they were doing as far as silhouettes and image. The shirts are simply too casual to justify the price. but after I saw one put to use for a while I started to get it. The lax, british image that is foundational to european style hasn't made it to north america yet, so its very hard to pull off here.
Important to note that Eton shirts do not have true MOP buttons! The buttons are made of a composite of MOP dust and a plastic resin. It doesn't break, but it doesn't have the luster and value of true MOP.
I just ordered a couple from Nordstom Rack, after watching and reading some Eton shirt reviews. I'm just sick of companies like Charles Tyrwhitt making their shirts in China, and I'm annoyed that my favorite shirts (Bugatchi) are also made in China, and a bit annoyed that the only US-made dress shirts cost $175-$280. Eton sounds like it's exactly what I'm looking for, in quality, country of origin and price - as long as you don't pay full price ordering through their web site. I think you'll find lower prices buying them through a retail store like Nordstroms, Bloomingdales or [obviously] through Nordstroms Rack, although your choices will be very limited there - even before you filter the options by size and fit.
Every tailor shop seems to have Eton shirts. And personally I'm not a fan, maybe its just buttons I'm not a fan off. Considering they're being paid so much money you'd think they'd bother to give you good quality buttons.
@@yossifelder6775 They are both very good shirts with respect to quality. The attention to detail and some of the styling accents are better on Thomas Pink shirts. You can't go wrong with either but if I could only choose one I am going Thomas Pink.
Before anyone trashes Kiton (which is fair in some respects) look at their manufacturing process and company structure. It's not something you see anywhere else in the world. It might be the most amazing heritage, and manufacturing process you could ask for in textiles.
being in luxury retail for a few years, I would say MTM is often a waste. It's true of suiting too. MTM should be reserved for the situation of "Nothing fits me right." or, "I don't like anything I can buy off the rack in my area." The actually antidote to your concern is finding stores that carry good stuff. Latching onto brands can also help. You can trust their performance and look while not needing to see it in person every time. BTW sale season for Eton starts in August and it gets pretty agressive, check it out.
@@The_Kavalier would be interesting if you referred to your shirts guide and maybe talk about where each additional shirt/brand you review fits into that ranking.
You should check out more Swedish companies like tiger of sweden, Oscar jacobson, j.lindberg and peak performance which is a great skiing/outerwear brand.
I think Stenströms gives you roughly the same quality of fabrics, but Eton's selections of collar styles and array of shirt fits outranks Stenströms' in my book. Eton, especially, has the unusual and cool High Cutaway collar, which has a very powerful aesthetic.
So I got my first Eaton shirt on a sale from Nordstroms. I was expecting to be blown away by the quality of the shirt! far from being the truth. let me explain: I purchased 16 inch collar slim fit white signature twill shirt with gray buttons! to start! the white fabric is see thru more than I would expect from a nearly 300 dollar shirt! I was so surprised that the tie bar for 50 doll white shirt is actually whiter less see thru then the signature white twill shirt! 2nd: I weight 175 and am 5' 7 tall and the shirt still fits baggy around the chest, enough so when I wear a tie it fold a lot on front cost area if you know what I mean. 3rd, is the worst! are you frickin kidding me? are these shirts designed for chimpanzees? really, sleeves are way too long, most brand offer shirts with 16 inch collars with sleeves from 32- 34 niches in length. So you will need 90% of the time have the sleeves shortened. You will not find a eaton sleeve that will fit your arms, unless you are >6 foot tall and have very long arms. Their slim fit shirts are more like regular fit, if you are athletic and fairly slim, you will need the extra slim size to fit nice! 4th: Shirts on sale at their website do not give you option tailor the sleeves like their full price shirts. why? price for tailoring their regular price shirts is 40 on top of full price, price to tailor the same shirt on sale is 100+ dollars? Thats if they give you the option. I really like the feel of the collars and general feel of the shirt, and yes they are well made, but what the point of buying a shirt that you will end up cutting up and be adulterated by a tailor? I was ready to purchase so many shirts from Eton but it has ended being a frustrating process. for sure theses shirts are not worth 250-290 doll. I hope this helps some you, consider a few things before you shell out 250 doll.
When people say "European" they usually mean within the European Union, so that EU protections apply which basically necessitate higher quality (due to nobody wanting to pay EU rates and obey EU rights without getting skilled labour). North Macedonia isn't in the EU. Just a nitpick.
I cant justify paying the price for them when theyre made in romania and other low cost countries. Due to that, you would think they would be cheaper. Also, especially since their shirts just have plastic buttons.
In my experience, the buttons have been plastic with a mother of pearl look to them. If you touch your tongue to the button (yes, its strange) mother of pearl is cold to the touch and plastic is a normal room temperature. You will notice the difference.
Why does a Gap shirt cost $300 and Eton cost $280? Buy a $20 Gap shirt now and need to replace it with a $280 shirt later. Save the $20 and buy an Eton.
All shirts should be button down collars. Looks better with or without tie, open or closed. Timeless. Other shirts with a tie, need to be checked 100 times a day.
Looking good! Thank you for you lovely review of our shirts and accessories.

one trick for ETON shirts sleeves is that you don't need to shorten them if they are too long, just flip cuff upwards and use a cufflink to hold them.

Yeah I was very confused when he said they were 300$ and started wondering if I'd been buying their budget shirts or something.

Does that 60% for locals also apply to online shopping? Or is it just in store ?

What are your thoughts on Canli Kai?
Not feeling the collar seems small for you.
Agree, see how it’s pulling under the collar. Don’t like that.
You can get custom made suit from Asia with same luxery fabric for 100 top tho

What do you think of the Kiton shirts from NM for $600+ each?
Before anyone trashes Kiton (which is fair in some respects) look at their manufacturing process and company structure. It's not something you see anywhere else in the world. It might be the most amazing heritage, and manufacturing process you could ask for in textiles.
At that price point you can find mtm shirts with quite decent fabrics. Personally I wouldn’t pay $180-200 for an off the rack shirt.

That tie looks ridiculous (in the good sense). So does that white shirt. And the jacket as well. Nicely put together 👌
No one can argue that those aren't some beautiful shirts but the pricing for something like that off the rack is just way beyond most peoples budget.

So you will need 90% of the time have the sleeves shortened. You will not find a eaton sleeve that will fit your arms, unless you are >6 foot tall and have very long arms. Their slim fit shirts are more like regular fit, if you are athletic and fairly slim, you will need the extra slim size to fit nice! 4th: Shirts on sale at their website do not give you option tailor the sleeves like their full price shirts. why? price for tailoring their regular price shirts is 40 on top of full price, price to tailor the same shirt on sale is 100+ dollars? Thats if they give you the option. I really like the feel of the collars and general feel of the shirt, and yes they are well made, but what the point of buying a shirt that you will end up cutting up and be adulterated by a tailor? I was ready to purchase so many shirts from Eton but it has ended being a frustrating process. for sure theses shirts are not worth 250-290 doll. I hope this helps some you, consider a few things before you shell out 250 doll.
Hm for that kind of price you can go to a professional tailor
I agree with you eton the best shits ever weared
When people say "European" they usually mean within the European Union, so that EU protections apply which basically necessitate higher quality (due to nobody wanting to pay EU rates and obey EU rights without getting skilled labour). North Macedonia isn't in the EU.
Just a nitpick.
For me Eton shirts are a worthy investment.
Eton costs 130-140 here in sweden
Also I've thrifted mine for 12-25 bucks 🙂
I cant justify paying the price for them when theyre made in romania and other low cost countries. Due to that, you would think they would be cheaper.
Also, especially since their shirts just have plastic buttons.
Cannot agree mour!
omg i used to have so many ledbury shirts and now it sucks, looking to switch to a more high end brand and found Eton, !
What up people
In my experience, the buttons have been plastic with a mother of pearl look to them. If you touch your tongue to the button (yes, its strange) mother of pearl is cold to the touch and plastic is a normal room temperature. You will notice the difference.
The Gentleman's Gazette states that the buttons are molded from crushed mother of pearl mixed with resin, hence, they are not true mother of pearl.
Romanian and Macedonian labor cost is about the same as China.. js Greetings from Switzerland
In Romania the minimum wage is 500 euros and a skilled tailor will have 700-800 euros. SO NO, YOU AR JUST GUESSING WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW FACTS
nice
Why does a Gap shirt cost $300 and Eton cost $280? Buy a $20 Gap shirt now and need to replace it with a $280 shirt later. Save the $20 and buy an Eton.
All shirts should be button down collars. Looks better with or without tie, open or closed. Timeless. Other shirts with a tie, need to be checked 100 times a day.
Looks great. Won’t buy, even if I can.
Eton is like the Chrysler of shirts, they certainly are not anywhere near the top.
Totally overpriced in my opinion
Nishit Mamtora can you explain why please?
Jared Diaz there are better shirts in this price range like stenstroms who use two fold cotton and just have a better feel
