Thanks all for the realisation that I am indeed a skinflint haha do appreciate the suggestions of places, though I will have to rule some out for various reasons, have bought from some places expecting a better quality of shirt (ie Moss Bros, Next, M&S) and have found them no better than the ones I've been able to get around the £10-15 mark when I've shopped around.
I do have that age old (I think) problem of sizing, in that I am a 15.5" neck, but shirts with that size of collar fits only at the collar and shoulders, then hangs like a tent of the ridiculously skinny rest-of-torso area. I have the same problem with jeans, a 29 waist but have to buy 32 size trousers to fit the leg. I think this might be where the scrubber nature comes from as I always find that regardless of price or supposed quality of shirt, they still don't fit well.
The urgency today stemmed from having forgotten my overnight bag this morning, but was also looking for two or three anyway that people can buy me for my birthday next week, but I am rethinking that now haha
I'll give them a try as they seem to have a sale on at the mo patterned ones ton their website aren't my thing particularly but I'm sure their plain ones should be good. There's one in Brum though it's not immediately obvious where the menswear is in there, I think there must be a downstairs!
A friend who runs a laundry service made me swear never to buy another TM Lewin shirt as their collars were so poor.
I used to work near Thomas Pink in Sloane Square and would load up on shirts in the sale, hands gown the best quality shirts I have ever owned, and so comfortable. Mine lasted for years, and that was including about 100 ,minutes of rush-hour tube-travel every day which can stuff up the best of shirts.
Too many M&S shirts are non-iron, which reminds me too much of nylon shirts from 40-odd years ago, Now I know how boil-in-the-bag rice feels. M&S also missed a trick by the lack of flexibility they offer compared to the likes of Tyrwhitt in their cuff/sleeve length options.
